to be fair that option should be in literally every vehicle that has a rear view camera, it'd be so easy for manufacturers to implement, it'd cost them nothing, people would love it, and it'd improve road safety.

letting it cycle would actually be a tiny bit better for battery lifespan, but terrible for the engine, and i'd expect fuel efficiency to be terrible too. batteries love short small cycles, engines don't, especially in cold weather. depending on your financial situation it might be worth...

Hi All I FINALLY found information about idle charging fuel use. for those who don't want to watch the video, its 2.58KWh/L numbers should be identical for the 2024. i have no idea what the 2025 will be. its insanity that MMC doesn't just tell us this, the numbers aren't even bad...

sounds amazing, if somewhat out of my price range.

in the 2024 this is partly implemented for seat settings and the little "intro animation" thing when you start the car (i turned it off and noticed that it still plays when i use the second key), it may also apply to other settings, i haven't explored this in-depth though. it'd be nice to be...

I can't say a bad word about the dealership i went through (in australia), they were better than i was expecting, but i've heard some real horror stories about dealerships in canada. australia does have some pretty strong consumer protections laws though so that may have something to do with it...

sunglasses holder, you mean like this? 2024 has it, not sure about others.

yes. if it can run a TV, it can charge a PHEV.

Add your thoughts/suggestions, and maybe someone at mitsubishi might see this eventually. Minor (easy) improvements: AVAS to only be active when in "drive" or "reverse", it shouldn't be active when in "park" and the handbrake is on. A tachometer would be great to recapture the "petrol feel"...

thats a real "how long is a piece of string" question. if you can get a generator that can output 500VDC you could fast charge, theoretically with 240v 15A you could get 3.7kw peak into the car, but you've only got one plug, the main limit isn't the "KW" of the generator, its how many KW the...

how did u work out that it was 400w constant load and how long did the battery last between recharge cycles?

every week or 2 you should run the engine for at least 15-30 minutes to prevent water accumulating in the oil, the heat drives the water out. it'll cost you maybe $3-5 in fuel per month and will prevent engine damage. fuel goes bad because the volatiles evaporate off and this slowly reduces the...

The hardware is great, the software seems to have been designed to be "idiot proof" rather than optimised for customisability and features, and to a certain extent thats a good thing because way too many people who really should have just bought a "more appropriate car for cold weather" love to...

Hi All I've been trying to find more detailed information about the Battery Pack and Cells used in the 2024 Outlander PHEV, but google is giving me nothing but marketing crap. Does anyone have a good source of technical specifications? I.E the name of the cells used, whether they're Lithium...

i was aware there was no 2008 outlander phev, but the information about the ETV and MMDHT was worth waiting for, so much of the information on google is just marketing garbage with no real substance.

2008 model uses a CVT (continuously variable transmission), early CVTs are notoriously unreliable and have more issues than a newspaper. if you've already changed the transmission fluid and are still having the same problem it could be a malfunctioning sensor, but honestly a CVT lasting 16...

if its already happened twice i'd change the sound to this: for safety reasons, of course...

i'm no expert but doesn't the petrol engine run as a generator when under 80km/hr or 50mi/hr? add that onto the fact that electric motors are most efficient at low RPM and it'd make the most sense to drive in "EV only" mode below 80km/50mi and "petrol only" mode when going faster than 80km/50mi...

Bachelor degree in Engineering, Majoring in Electrical. You're right that repair is complex, but having "enough" knowledge to understand what needs to be repaired and what the repair work involves is very useful for ensuring you don't get ripped off by the people doing the repairs. ultimately...

road safety laws are designed to cater to "the dumbest people on the road" and are practically neurotic when it comes to safety, very much a "well a baby can't chew a steak so nobody is allowed steak" situation, because the government is too stupid to invest in better training for drivers...
