Thanks kernelpanic. I almost bought the Type 1 to Type 2 before realizing that there is a difference between that and a Type 2 to Type 1!

Thank you for the advice, MiPHEV.

Thanks for the advice, evman77.

Nice story. Thanks, AndyInOz. Your suggestion of running it on electric until the motor kicks in may be the best way to determine 'actual' range.

Thank you, Martin. In your experience then, do you feel that, when the battery reported at, say, 1%, that may have been a reasonable estimate?

I have a 2014 model. Once fully charged, the battery shows a range of anywhere from 35km to 39km. After driving for 1km, this drops to about 20km. After a further 5km, it's down to about 5km and, after around another 1km or 2km, it shows 1%. So, I wonder if the display is accurate or if it is a...

I have a 2014 Outlander PHEV which I have just taken delivery of. The reversing camera is not working and one of the things I thought of checking was the fuse. The fuse diagrams in the Owners Manual do not list a fuse for the reversing camera but I assume it must have one. Any assistance would...

My 2014 model has a Type 1 charging cable (5 pin) for use in a standard wall socket at home. I am looking to purchase a cable that has 5 pin on one end and 7 pin on the other so that I can use public charging stations. Would that be the best (or only) solution?

Thank you, AndyInOz. With your reply, I can now stop chasing my tail!

Thank you for the advice, MiPHEV.

Thank you, evman77. Very useful information.

Thank you all for your very helpful advice.

I will take delivery of a 2015 model in the next few days. When opening the recharge flap, I see there is only the single plug, not two that are installed on more recent models. Of course, the single plug will allow me to charge at home but will it allow me to use that connection at a public...

Thank you for the advice, Martin. Most appreciated.

I am looking to purchase a 2015 model and am confused about petrol consumption. In these scenarios, how much petrol would be consumed? 1. Highway driving at 100km/h for 100km 2. Travelling distance of 50kms where approximately half of that is freeway driving at 100km/h I understand there are...
