    While driving in EV mode I noticed my remaining estimated gas mileage drops. I watch the dash and the EV is constantly light and it doesn't appear the the ICE is coming on.

    Is this normal?

    Thanks

    destination to empty? or one of your trip averages?

    dte includes your charge miles, so it will go down until the wall charge is gone.

    if one of your trip averages, it should go up when in ev mode, because the computer uses wall charge to calculate average mpg's.
