One cool thing is that the hybrid system allows you a lot of control – you can set to hybrid mode, or set it to run EV until the battery drains (or you need the gas engine to assist, such as with passing), or tell it to save the battery charge for later. It’s also a bummer than one must go electric to get the Trailhawk trim now.
