The wiring diagram shows that the wiper circuit includes the Rain Sensor Adjustment, ACC Relay 3, Windshield Wiper Speed Switching Relay, Windshield Wiper Automatic Stop Relay, all external to the wiper motor. As they have replaced the wiper motor, which has an internal switch the opens when...

Build a basic slim wood cabinet, with a cable hook, plug holster, and a slot in the door so that the cabinet can be locked while charging.

I chose to buy an older car with lower mileage rather than a newer car with high mileage on the basis that most wear and tear is due to mileage, not age. And battery State of Health is mostly mileage related too. Rusting and paint fade come to mind as age related problems. But with hindsight I...

I understand that Tesla have started including V2G in their onboard charger, including an inverter, so can work with their existing wall boxes.

Quote "I have enquired about the charging lead already and have been told it does come with a 10A lead that can plug into a normal three pin socket(provides a full charge in approximately 8 hours apparently) We will be looking at getting a 16A charger installed in the house (full charge stated...

I can't afford to buy new, my 2014 cost me £15K. If I could afford a new car, I would try to stretch to a Tesla Model 3 at about £40K, compared to a new PHEV at £35K.

So no mention of mph or Km/h, just the odometer to Km.

I measured mine at 12.1V, so I trickle charged for a couple of hours and it went to 13.0V straight off the charger, I didn't measure it again after letting it rest

Try wiping the sensor area before starting the car. Has that stopped it? Then it was light dew on the sensor.

Sweet, Dude !

Me too. I can do 95% of journeys in EV mode and the occasional much longer jouney without "range anxiety". Self Charging makes no sense to me, have those makers really got it so wrong? :-) Significant economic and environmental benefits for me.

I think jaapv has made the sensible answer, go with that and you will have years of EV driving. I was being contrary, as I don't believe it's clear whether Resets work or not.

What Alex said makes sense - The usable range of the battery (3.65V to 4.1V) cannot be change by a simple software reset. Might be interesting to see how many KWhs WatchDog reports for each charge.

The former

Seriously? On a site for Hybrid Electric Outlanders? You might get responses, but along the lines of: Gas guzzler Diesel polluter (Volkswagen Dieselgate) Dinosaur Okay, maybe someone here had one and can make an impartial reply. Just my 2 Pesos worth.......

The Aux battery doesn't have the enormous current demands an ICE battery does, doesn't need a large capacity, so ought to be much cheaper. But I don't know how much the sealed battery aspect impacts on the cost.

There are two schools of thought on the SOH drop. One is that the Mitsubishi Battery Management System software is flawed, causing a steady unreal drop in reported SOH. The cure is the Reset procedures you can find in the Technical section. The other school denies the BMS problem and says...

I would imagine that PHEVs with electric tailgate will have a manual opening handle on the inside. Instead of removing the floor, buy the DVM and measure the volts across the jump point and earth with the 12V charger attached. If the battery is taking a very large charge current the charger...

Remove the carpeted floor, and then only a handful of bolts secure the moulded plastic section under that. I would buy a basic Digital Voltmeter for a fiver and measure the battery voltage, which gives a good indication of whether it's Charged/Discharged/Doorstop...

Many people contemplating buying an EV wonder what the battery life will be. That's often based on their experience of battery life in cell phones, laptops, and tablets. The batteries on these are invariably endlessly run down to zero then charged to 100%. Or left plugged into the charger. As...
