What's the Point of the EV Mode Button?
So I understand how the EV mode button works and its function. I just don't understand why it exists from a practical perspective, and I'm honestly suspecting that they just threw it in there cause they needed something to fill that space. Hear me out.
The 11th gen accord already automatically enters EV mode at low speeds or when most appropriate. It also automatically exits EV mode when you accelerate, or when you run out of battery. If that's the case and the car is already dynamically managing EV mode, what's the point of clicking that button and forcing it into EV mode?
It'll just exit as soon as you accelerate to any meaningful speed. I just don't get the point, or I don't see a scenario where I would manually engage EV mode if I presume the car is smart enough to automatically engage it at the best time on its own, (which it does)?
I guess my question is, what is the use case for this button? Do you all have compelling use cases for this button? This is really a curiosity, more like a shower thought.
