Over the last few weeks, I didn’t get much of a chance to charge my A3 E-tron, so I’ve been using Hold Mode to save battery, trying to recuperate as much electricity as possible while driving.
What I’ve noticed is that when I start driving after a stop, the electric motor is still being used for smooth acceleration. The engine only kicks in after a bit of time, which makes it feel more like it’s in Hybrid Mode rather than Hold Mode.
Is this how Hold Mode is supposed to work for everyone, or should I be concerned? I’m going to see my dealer soon to pick up a new EVSE, and I’m wondering if I should mention this to them while I’m there. Any ideas?
