Hello I agree save or charge keeps things in check for traveling whee EV mode seems that it can't make up its mind. If your just traveling try to keep the battery roughly 60-75% so when regen is available it can be stored in the battery. Volting is another matter, during this travel, you'll be...

Hello Outlander Owners - I just completed an In-Depth Article on the Mitsubishi Outlander Phev. This article provides a detailed look at how the new Outlander Heat Pump operates and how it differs from other hybrids and EV’s. I’ll cover HV battery heating and cooling. How to prevent lithium...

This is not a manufacture web site - it is a private business which provides a service for selling your data. I have no idea why Mitsubishi doe not provide a link for their manuals on line, I have talked to corporate and they just push me off. Nearly every other manufacture has a link on their...

Thanks for the reply - be careful on these so-called manual sites since they will ask you to load software opening your computer to scammers. I just tried this site and they are asking to install a program in my browser - only download manuals from the manufacture to be safe. Mike

I agree, while the Tesla heat pump system is certainly unique, it comes at considerably higher cost than a PTC heater. We can’t overlook the fact the PTC heater requires no compressor, fans, coils, refrigerant, coolant, pumps and dozens of valves and sensors to generate heat. Most important the...

Thanks for the replies - I totally agree there is no free heat we have to use energy to create work to gain heat. In any case, there have been many conclusive tests comparing two identical Tesla models where one is using the stock PTC heater and the other Elon's heat pump. These tests reveled...

Thanks for the reply - Your comment "So Tesla pump doesn't create, just collect ant transfer all heat losses" regretfully this statement is incorrect. While the Tesla heat pump has the ability to collect waste heat, that is not the main feature of the patent Tesla design. The Tesla heat pump...

Thanks for the reply - However my best advise is before you find fault in others comments, is to "Study Up" first! Your statement of the Tesla heat pump not being able to create it's own heat is 100% wrong. In addition the Tesla heat pump was developed just a few years ago and replaces the PTC...

Thanks for the reply - You're right there are many new EV developments such as the new released Solid State batteries which provide 600 miles of range, the Kia motor clutch or Tesla's new Heat pump which creates it's own heat in sub zero weather. It's happening fast! Mike

LOL she's right there is no network in most rural locations - I live 100 miles north of Atlanta so my EV6 is happy going there and back with over 125+ to spare. The Outlander is reserved for daily chores and for long distance traveling. Like I always said - the only safe place to charge is at...

Thanks for the reply - That's not what I'm hearing Hyundai and Kia gas cars are untouchable for the money and quality. The gas powered Telluride and Palisade SUV's put them on top of all their competitors. The Hyundai Motor Group GMP electric chassis is built from the ground up as an electric...

Here's so additional information I found on the disconnect system . . . The first EV AWD disconnector system worldwide - Mileage enhanced with 6%–8% increase in efficiency - E-GMP system applied to new IONIQ 5 releases - The first step in the evolution from internal combustion to electric...

Thanks for the replies - My apologies guys, if I read your reply incorrect. Well 8 miles would golden for those who work further than 19 miles from home! LOL The motor clutch is just a wish list item, but it could be implemented using the same Outlander drive train and motors. It’s not a...

Thanks for the reply - However you must have misunderstood my last post, I never said there were “no losses” in a multi-speed transmission, I said there "were" losses. There are numerous losses on a conventional PHEV which incorporates the electric motor in the bell housing which depends on...

Thanks for the reply - as I mentioned 98% of the time, all wheel drive is just wasting battery power and wearing drive-line components for no reason. There are big mechanical losses in the tran-axle, inverter and motor than can be avoided. All wheel drive serves no purpose at all unless your...

Hello Guys - Regretfully there is no such thing as a single motor powering our Outlander unless something is broke. I know there is a lot of conversation regarding Eco mode using only one motor, but the truth of the matter, there is no such thing as a single motor powering our Outlander for...

Thanks so much - the link is the Pre-Delivery manual - however there are so many changes on the newer generation 23 models even older shop manuals ae not much help. Mike

Thanks for the reply - I could not agree with you more, we have an I-4 and and an EV-6 in out family and the primary reason there has always been a Hybrid in a garage since 2014 is for travel, which is why we have the Outlander. Even thought the EV-6 can charge 10-80% in just over 15 minutes...

Thanks for the replies - I understand most hybrid owners dislike starting the hybrid engine, but this thinking is not in the best interest for the health of the battery. It’s an uphill battle to use the battery in frigid weather. There are too many safeguards in place, which is why we have...

Thanks for the replies - Certainly Mitsubishi isn't forcing the gas engine to run for no reason, it saves the battery from health issues. Each time you force or avoid running the gas engine - you shorten the life of the battery. All EV's regardless of battery size are effected by the same...
