    I like the idea of a plug in car but would like to know more about how it operates.
    For instance:
    1. Does the ICE come on at startup to warm up the engine?
    2. Does it come on periodically to keep the system warm?
    3. How is the car kept in the electric mode?
    4. Is the EV buttom mode still regulated to the current max speed?
