Have had my 4xe for 6 days now. Love it so far, btw. This is Jeep #3 for me. Traded my '16 Willys for this one.
I understand how PHEVs work compared to pure EVs, although this is my first. I'm just wondering if anyone has any insight to the message "Electric Mode Unavailable. Cabin cooling or heating" ?
What temps does it try to reach before Electric Mode can be available? And is this related to the HV battery? Or is it purely the cabin heating/cooling involved here? Would pre-conditioning the battery help this at all?
I drove for about 10 kms ( ~6 miles) this morning and the temp outside was 0 (~32F) and it still wouldn't go into Electric Mode. It was plenty warm inside the cabin. I turned the HVAC off completely but no difference. It's making me wonder if Electric Mode will ever be available to me from about mid-October to end of April.
Located in Alberta, Canada. Winter should be interesting.
