"Overevving" is good. It tops up the battery so that the car has the on demand torque/burst of speed when you want it.
I guess you're just too used to the 1300~2500rpm noise. Get back into a 1.0/1.3L econobox, you'll keep hearing 3k+ rpm regularly.
Also, it hovers around there I think cause VTEC kicks in around there when you finally decide to floor it to past 3k rpm.

Just pace yourself and your car then it won't happen.
If you feel you gonna get into that region, keep above 20km/h and be in S mode to keep the battery charged.

Do that just before entering a >5 minute jam to top up battery charge.
Just press S mode and hold pedal to 1 bar and slowly let the engine rev hard and charge while car is slowing down. Turn off S mode once hit below 15km/h.
This should be much more efficient than crawling at 0~10km/h when the battery has run out and is being forced charged.
Definitely much better option compared to slipping the clutch while crawling slowly while in forced charged condition.

Yeah the engine very noisy, prrrrrrrrrt esp when car is new.
Wind down the window at low speed at residential area where you are flanked by cars and houses to reflect the sound, then S mode; can hear minigun at engine bay.
miniguns ! prrrrrrrrrt !

Only happens in S mode; optional mode. Also remember, Honda Malaysia marketed this as a "SPORTS" Hybrid.

The 1.8L power only comes when at standstill or a fresh EV gear change. It peaks at 1300~1500 EV RPM; "Instant" torque range is from 0->2000 EV RPM with 120~160(peak)~80 Nm as EV RPM increases to 2000RPM; then it tapers off to 60~30Nm after 2000RPM.

So yeah... you only get bursts of 1.8L power, and it's sporadic. So much for "1.8L" eh ?
At least with a turbocharger, you'll get consistent power. Ours... weak ass hybrid motors = heh.
