So if you program your trip you shouldn't have to use battery hold. If you are not able to charge at your destination you can also program the return trip. The car will program battery use so that it should be nearly empty on arrival back home and maximal use of the battery in the city.

The main downside being that in adaptive the ICE will turn on above 110 kph. This means that is you have a 35km trip but 25km is on highways at 120 or 130kph, the electric engine will not be used. Even though at a constant 130kph the consumption is lower than my average so I put it in Electric mode manually to make maximum use of it. |
That is correct indeed. I have set electric individual as start up mode. For short trips I stay all electric. For longer trips I switch to adaptive. If the last part is nearly the remaining battery range and I can charge at destination is switch back to electric like you mention.
