 Some electric advice please - Lygonos
>>Question re the 4wd, electrics power rear and engine powers front?

Correct.


>> Does that mean that when the engine is running , it is generating electricity to drive the rear as well?

Usually very little unless it is in "sport mode" where the engine runs in a lower gear and doesn't turn off at standstill.


>> I am thinking in snow, is there a way to ensure you have 4wd operating?

The above mentioned sport mode means 4wd - the throttle response is very sharp, especially from standstill, so longterm owners suggest not using sport mode, but just to let the car do what it wants when driving in snow.

Despite getting the car in December there was naff all snow this year so I don't really know (and the missus was using it during the week).
