Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for operating a hybrid vehicle, comprising:
obtaining, with a computing system of the hybrid vehicle that comprises one or more computing devices, propulsion switching data descriptive of a state of one or more vehicle systems for switching power flow of an internal combustion engine and an electric machine;
comparing, with the computing system, the propulsion switching data to model propulsion switching data for the one or more vehicle systems;
when the propulsion switching data is different than the model propulsion switching data, determining, by the computing system, a driver behavior recommendation to initiate a switch in the power flow from the internal combustion engine to the electric machine; and
presenting the driver behavior recommendation on a driver interface,
wherein the driver behavior recommendation comprises instructions for a driver of the vehicle to adjust operation of the hybrid vehicle to initiate the switch in the power flow from the internal combustion engine to the electric machine.
