Not in "hold" mode. Which seems odd to me. If you switch to "hold" at 50% battery power, it will maintain 50%, but not add to it. Driving in the mountains I play around with it, charging the battery by running it up the hill in "hold" and switching to battery power for the ride down. It never made any sense to me that it wouldn't do that automatically.
We just got back from a 700 mile trip. Got 42 mpg on gasoline the whole way.
