So, if you turn it on when the battery is fully charged, the car will keep charging the battery once it detects that the battery is getting discharged. Both 45e and 50e are hybrids and there is no way to force them to use ICE only as the high voltage battery is used for the HVAC functions as well for e-boost when you step on the gas.

Well, if the battery is fully charged and you set the battery hold feature. Any use of the HVAC would cause the ICE to run, and any use of electricity for any other purpose would cause the ICE to run (both to keep the battery fully charged)..so wouldn't that mean the ICE would be running virtually all the time (yes 50e)?
