I've just experienced a problem with my new Etron. Not sure if this happens with all cars or just mine. I returned home with essentially zero battery charge left (1km) in EV mode. My driveway is up a hill and I stopped part way up the hill. The car would not move forward. I thought the engine would start automatically, but it didn't. I switched over to hybrid mode and I did manage to start the IC engine, but it would not gain revs even with my foot on the floor. I turned off the power and tried again with the same result. All I could do was to back down the driveway. I had control of the engine going back down. At the bottom, I was able to drive to the end of my cul-de-sac and proceed up the hill again in electric mode. This time I didn't stop until I reached the top.
I assume the problem is somehow related to having no power left for EV mode and the IC engine not properly starting. Has anyone else experienced this?
