Hi, this might be a stupid question but it’s come to a point where it’s just unnecessary and it reached an extremely annoying point where I’ve been stuck in slow moving traffic where it constantly starts charging, using up more fuel than needed.

I drive a Yaris Y20 and I live somewhere that’s very uphill and close to a motorway.

The engine charging the hybrid battery is completely unnecessary since I’m mostly just using the engine break and then going up to a motorway.

Is there a way to either limit the engine charging to hybrid battery or to just turn off that specific function?

    Uh… well i live in western sweden by the coast… so it’s easier to say that it differs lol.

    I mean atm we’re in minus Celsius, last week was like 5-8 Celsius, spring can be all between minus Celsius to something like +10 and summer all between 17-30+

    It’s hard to put it into averages… at least for me. But it’s defs in the colder/freezing side so higher fuel consumption and faster battery drain is a given atm.
