Default Panamera E Hybrid Power?

Hi, Just received a 2018 Panamera E Hybrid. Fantastic!

Question: When the car is out of electric power, does it still have 462HP?

Where are you located?
My understanding is that there's some power left in the batteries for quick, rapid acceleration (probably close to the max 462 hp value), but it won't last long.

Located in Norway...

What I've heard is that the car always has a electric power reserve, so it's constant 462HP.
The reserve is charged by the motor.

correct... but the 462 hp will be limited in time/distance if the battery capacity is at its lowest.
How do you like your new car? Initial thoughts? What kind of electric mileage are you getting?

(Where in Norway? My mother's family is from the Bergen area.)

When it is truly out of power then no. But as has been said, it tops itself up quickly so even if it shows 0 charge on the display, you still get the boost if there is any charge left.
