- Does Electric mode full disengage/turn off the Combustion Engine so that it does not rotate, and that is why is allows higher speed?
- How does the car keeps the oil and temperature optimal when Hybrid electric?

Thanks
These are great questions. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of information out there on how these operate. I look forward to the answers as well.
