How to keep battery charged when driving

How do you keep the battery to a % of charge when driving so you can use the electric where you going.

Check the driving settings and then drivetrain and look for something like maintain battery charge to activate it

Yes they said ask the dealership but they don’t seem to know.

There should be a setting "Battery hold".

It must be aktivated for each trip and is not saved permanently as this would affect the fuel and CO2 values the car was certified with.

Yes I know there should be a battery hold setting but I can’t find it anywhere.

Did you check the Drive Modes? Battery Hold is a drive mode in 8/8.5, not sure about 9.
