Another thing about coasting it allows your HVB to cool down some when you don't use it.----MG2 is working when coasting and thus battery activity is on-going. You can see this on the dash and in the scanguage II hardware as the SOC rises. The temperature in the CMax will rise with repeated use. Since I don;t have the Escape, I couldn't tell.
Shifting into "N" would shut off MG2 while coasting.
