Another fun use of the ActiveHybrid's Eco Pro mode: Car camping. Was forced to wait longer than desired in my car, and it was nice to have the engine shut off most of the time. With air conditioning and radio running, the engine would idle for a minute to recharge, and that'd last for 15 or 20 minutes of emissions-free climate control. Without Eco Pro, it'd only last for around half the time. The car feels comfortable enough with Eco Pro while stationary.


Makes you feel slightly less guilty about using a car engine to generate electricity for accessories.
