I think it is a specific security measure for the 45e to make it impossible to get out of the car while it is still running and driving of while you are half out of the car. You don't hear the electric motor. With an ICE only the engine would start when you release the brake.

I don't know if it is a bug.

But is not practical if you get out of the car to pay for gas and the rest of the family is in the car and you want to keep everything running.

Have you tried what happens if you put it in P before opening the door?

If I read the text in your photo and the manual it seems like it is possible to switch it of.

If I remember well the 40e also switched of when the door was opened as a security measure.
