I've tried using zurk's advice above and found I have further questions:

When using #3 (EV mode), I see my speed consistently drop off no matter how carefully I apply the accelerator. On highway drives (even with a long-scale gentle down-slope), speed slowly decreases until I see traffic coming rapidly up behind me (around 45), and I feel it prudent to get back up to somewhere in the vicinity of posted limit. On city streets, I am able to maintain speed limits of 35 - 40 for short times, but as soon as I encounter any upslope, speed drops off again. Going down my own (quiet suburban) street, I determined to see what I could do without any gas engine intervention: speed stabilized around 19 mph. What (if anything) am I doing wrong?

Granted that I live in NE Ohio, and the terrain around here is gently rolling hills. The land very gently slopes downhill going south (generally) and vice-versa.

Also; once I have depleted the assist batteries and drive at the "zero-charge" point for an extended time ("freewheeling" as MovieMike calls it), assuming the assist batteries take some period of time to fully recharge, how do I assure that they are fully charged for my next drive?

Your guidance and advice is welcome!
