So i have looked and not seen any 1 talk of mountain mode this way but i found a way to do it
So i live in FL and its not ..to.. hard for me to get 55EV rage from my 2014 chevy volt
most of the time i see all ways 51 miles but as its been getting colder here in the last few weeks i find my self a few miles low of making it home and after playing with it some i found a way to do it
car
2014 20K miles on it stock tires my vin was under the 6XXXX so i have the stander battery for that year
all AC and heat off and why driving in L
8 miles or less range left when starting to self charge
speeds never over 30 mpr but 20 seems to be it so this is used in towns and school zones or stop and go or at many red lights just blocks apart
the more stops and regen the better and in doing so i can push 10 miles of range into the battery in a few miles of driving
when stopped the ICE well stay running but as soon as the ICE tuners off at a full stop say at a red light the battery is as full as it well get and move back into stander mode . i see this from 18 to 21 miles on my cluster
keep in mind why in mountain mode you well not see all miles made to you intell you come out of it so some times it well show me 17 miles but as soon as i go to EV mode it well jump to 20 miles and so on
mountain mode is still just a hold mode so all regen helps push the bettery voltage up faster and the ICE covers all starts so its a ++
RMP stays low on the ICE at the min.. but as soon as you see power move from 1 ev motor to the next your going to hard or fast .. you see this on the cluster on the KW meter as power moves from 1 side to the next as IF the trans is moving gears so if you see this slow down and late the system move back
when doing this is at a time we all would think not to use it as we want EV mode only for towns and slow speeds but if you find your self needing a few miles to get home try this 1 time
i have tested this 2 times and used 1 gallon each time to see 38 miles and 40 miles
this is to really only add 10 miles each time so if you want to test to a full gallon it well take a good trip in town to do so but 0.50 gas used should show 18 miles or so ..
not the cluster but the center screen that says MPG
i am not sure if all cars do this but my car shows all miles made and used buy the ICE as gas used
remember to keep in mind when testing this for your self to add miles driven and miles made
if you are not sure if its showing miles made add a few miles this way and go to EV mode .. if its still adding miles to the gas side as IF your in gas mode its adding it up for you
as soon as all miles made are used it well start adding EV miles again on the same screen
i would love to see if this helps any 1 else and what numbers your getting
and sorry i am a old school guy and dont like to see my ICE start and stop so much
i like to make the motor run when i want it to and stay running as i need it
