Hi all, I'm a new user here and have a question, hopefully someone knows the answer.
I have a 71 plate Cupra Leon VZ2 hybrid, which I've owned for around 7 weeks.
In the last couple of days, an issue (or maybe not?) has presented itself.
I charge my car up at work during the day, use around 50% of the charge driving home at night, then use the other 50% of the charge driving back to work in the morning.
Usually the car will run both ways in electric only mode without any fuss, unless i run out of charge on my way to work in the morning.
However, in the last couple of days, the car has been switching into petrol only mode part way into work, on both occasions the car had around 20-25% charge left on the battery.
I wasn't over-revving the engine on either occasion which I'm aware can kick the petrol engine in to action, so can't work out why it was turning off the battery power and switching to petrol only.
I noticed the blue power indicator bar was only moving part way up before switching to the petrol engine, not sure if this is related.
I'm really new to this tech so have no idea if this is an issue or by design.
Other than that, really loving the car!
Thanks in advance.
