Yes, but it prestarts the ICE.BobEngineer said:jaapv said:That is the Charge button - press it in anticipation of full power.
Yeah but that still doesn't give full power just charge level it can still be very lazy to wind the power needle to 4 o clock and the car really move.

The needle tells you how much power is going to the wheels. You will need to go at least (approx.) 28 km/h to reach the beginning of the white zone (60 kW) and double that speed to reach (almost) the end of it (120 kW). Regardless of what procedure you use.BobEngineer said:jaapv said:That is the Charge button - press it in anticipation of full power.

BobEngineer said:28km/h? that is 'parked' in my book
More like at 100km/h when you go to overtake, sometimes power goes all round the dial almost straight away, but sometimes although the engine starts quickly (that is not the problem) it only goes to like 1/2 to 2/3 the power dial, you keep the pedal hard down and then maybe 5 seconds later you see it go to 3/4 level and then the car starts to speed up properly.
You never know which it is going to be until you do it..
I have adapted my driving to suit it, I leave a longer gap from the vehicle in front, I then floor the pedal, if it goes fast straight away I indicate and pull out to overtake. If it decides to be lazy, I have room to wait until it starts going fast then indicate and pull out. It can be really difficult if people are coming behind you too.
I do miss not being able to select 3rd gear and know for sure it will go fast as soon as I press the pedal in a normal car.

Pressing the charge button 1 second before overtake (or while waiting for the right moment), it does job for me
It appears to me that you bought the wrong car. The Porsche Cayenne plug-in seems to suit your driving style better.BobEngineer said:anko said:jaapv said:That is the Charge button - press it in anticipation of full power.
