Stop/Start anyone???

Hi all,
Ive owned my PHEV for two years now and enjoy EV experience the most.

But I do find in Hybrid Mode when the ICE cuts in and when in Charge Mode is used the noise from the ICE overbearing.

This is especially annoying when the vehicle is driven with Save or Charge button engaged driving slowly or stopped at traffic lights. Usually I end up switching the function off and on during slow driving and stopped at lights.

I have recently been in touch with a gentleman at VTech and discussed the idea of a simple Stop/Start box which would engage the ICE at speeds above 40KM and off below 20KM when in Charge or Save modes, Thomas of VTech is looking at the possibility of producing a plug in unit to offer this function.

Is anyone else interested?

If so, if there are enough people interested they will look at bringing a product to market, I for one have already indicated my interest with VTech. How about you?
