Positive Split Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
In this mode the internal combustion engine is running and powering the generator motor which produces the electricity. The power from the engine is split between the path through the generator motor and the path to the output shafts of the vehicle. The electricity produced by the generator motor charges the high voltage traction battery or powers the traction motor. In this mode the traction motor can operate as a motor or as a generator to make up the difference between engine power and desired power at the wheels. This mode is preferred whenever the traction battery needs to be charged.
