With the TCH, you need to use a *very* delicate foot on the gas to keep the ICE from kicking in. It's so delicate that it's a pain in the butt even after 5K miles of learning the car, hence my wish for an Electric Motor Only button.

That's weird. It's okay with the Prius. The only time you need a delicate foot is if the battery meter is low or if it's cold outside.
