I use charge mode exclusively to heat the ICE. This removes the moisture and gasoline in the oil with the crankcase ventilation

[@marconesme]

Any idea the rate it charges the battery in this mode? Just curious how long it would take to charge that way vs level 1 and 2

[@MarkCeeee]

Probably similar to a Level 2, I added about 20% in about an hour and half of driving

You can see it actually here as I drive: czcams.com/video/DknLu22gTB4/video.htmlsi=pV80lyw0rCdj2GPK

Will this use more gas than typical Hybrid mode does?

[@MarkCeeee]

Probably a bit more, but I was able to charge up to 80%.
