PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE* In Parallel Hybrid mode (the default driving mode), the electric motor supplies its power in parallel with the engine. There is a seamless transition between the 85kW electric motor and the Si4 Ingenium Petrol engine, as the system smoothly starts the engine and then blends electric motor and petrol engine power together using the hybrid integrated transmission. Intelligent battery management, which charges the battery through regenerative braking and even when the vehicle is coasting, ensures P400e always has sufficient charge to provide 404PS power output to deliver seamlessly impressive performance when required. When in the default driving mode (Parallel Hybrid), the driver can optimise fuel economy or battery charge by utilising one of two alternative charge management functions: SAVE function – manually selected through the Touchscreen, SAVE function prevents the battery charge dropping below the level which has been selected. This allows the driver to provision for quiet, zero-emission travel at a later point in the journey. The vehicle will only use the electric motor if the battery has received a charge over and above the saved level through regenerative braking. Predictive Energy Optimisation (PEO) function – entering a destination in the vehicle’s navigation system will automatically engage the PEO function. By utilising altitude data for the chosen route, PEO intelligently switches between the electric motor and petrol engine to maximise fuel economy throughout the journey.

In addition to operating as a parallel hybrid, the large capacity battery enables the driver to operate the vehicle in EV (Electric Vehicle) mode – manually selected by a button on the console, EV mode enables the vehicle to run solely on the electric motor using the energy stored in the battery, the ideal solution for quiet, zero-emission journeys. The system will introduce the petrol engine should the driver require more power than is available through the electric motor alone, or if the battery charge drops to an insufficient level to maintain progress.
