HV Charge mode "unsatisfying"

I also find HV charge mode unsatisfying. No soft, sweet pillow talk. No breakfast in bed. It never listens when I want to talk about my feelings. Very disappointed!

This Honda HV Mode video says 57.7%. However, whomever wrote and produced this video doesn't really understand how the car works, so maybe this percentage is wrong, too.

Here are the problems I have with the information in this short 1-1/4 minute video:

The script reads, "Push the Sport switch and the electric motor and the engine both engage, offering quite a spirited driving experience." As we knowledgeable forum members all understand, SPORT Mode simply re-maps the accelerator pedal response and it is entirely possible to drive on EV power alone if you don't press the pedal too far.

At the end, the video states, "When in Econ or HV Drive Modes, pressing the accelerator until it clicks automatically engages the engine." However, that's true only in ECON Mode (and only when the ICE is not already running). If HV Mode is engaged along with either NORMAL or SPORT Modes, the ICE will start before reaching the accelerator pedal click.

The video correctly explains, "Driving under electric power is not available in HV charge mode."
