How do switch between EV and Petrol mode on MG HS new model

Hello @Stevet61, welcome to the forum, this is from the manual, but I don't think you can have petrol only, it's either EV, or HEV.

Thanks @siteguru, moved.

Have you spotted that you can manually change from EV to HEV mode in the infotainment system?
This can be a distraction when doing 70mph on a busy motorway so many of us have set one of the customising buttons to do this.
In the recent cold weather the car has regularly started in HEV mode to warm the battery, heat the car etc. It is now easy to push it back into EV mode as soon as two blue bars light up on the temperature gauge.
I also regularly use this button on a long journey. I start off in EV mode and then once I'm cruising on the motorway (around 30 miles) I switch to HEV and the car will self charge during my journey back up to around 60 miles. I then monitor the satnav and when my remaining mileage to my destination reduces to 55 miles I push it back into EV mode. This means I will arrive at my destination having maximised my use of the available battery power.
