I've checked the drivers guide for the Electric driving conditions.
1) Battery should have enough power and high voltage battery should be on the right temperature
2) Gear should be in D or R.
3) Don't push the throttle to deep.
4) Don't exceed the maximum speed.
So, the circumstance it happened were all pretty identical:
1) Full battery, don't know about high voltage temperature (can I check that somewhere?), outside temp was about 8 degrees Celcius.
2) Check, I was driving in D.
3) Didn't push it all in and certainly not passed the kickdown.
4) I was driving about 30 km/pu, flat straight road. Just me in the car, no load or anything.
So the things I cannot check is the high voltage battery temperature. But why would it switch back to electric if I do it via adaptive mode? Is there a way to figure out why the car is switching from Electric to Hybrid?

I noticed the same. The ICE didn't turn on but it changed from electric individual to hybrid. E I is also my default. More than enough charge of the battery.
I first thought it was me accelerating to hard. But I isn't. And like you mention only possible to go back by adaptive if I do it immediately.
I thought it was when driving Electric long time the car is programmed to turn on the ICE was in a while to keep the parts rotating? I had been driving hundreds of km electric only.
I think however I'd didn't occur anymore after the upgrade to 03/2020 but I have also been taking my bike to go to work more and driving much less these days anyway.
Didn't really bother me but I prefer driving electric individual because the ICE turns on later than in hybrid mode (40 vs 30 % power)
