MMCS can show "instant" and average EV consumption None of the two make any sense ... But maybe my MMCS is still having an old firmware At least .. traditional consumption in L/100km is looking accurate

The Outlander PHEV show EV consumption in kwh/100km and maybe other way too ... unfortunately, at least in my PHEV, this value on the MMCS is totally wrong. On the PHEVwatchDog apps, this value is coming correct

The Lindqvist Method, shown by Andy video, can also be discussed here: http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4534 Mitch has a valid point ... if battery is really deteriorated since new, making a reset could lead to over discharge the battery and deteriorate it even more...

Battery Reset Procedure from Lindqvist: From Andy video EP248 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei6OdxynmUk 1 - Drive your battery low 2 - Disconnect 12v battery 3 - Wait 2h-6h 4 - Plug-In the car 5 - Connect 12v battery for 3-5 seconds 6 - Let the car fully charge 7 - Disconnect charger 8 -...

Not really Make a BMU reset is still something that might cause some risk, but in general it allows the car to restart the SOH tuning process, which by nature/firmware is pessimistic, so by reset and set SOH back to 100%, it will give many weeks/months with enhanced EV range. The risk is to...

Outstanding Tons of thanks for sharing this. I just seen from the Andy video that in theory is possible to make a battery reset without any tool ... I will wait it for this and then I might join the club of BMU reset

Very nice instructions ... 80USD and maybe 3h of preparation work on an old PC it might help some "depressed" PHEV batteries I guess you personally did all these steps ... right ? This is a first hand information, not some copy paste ... right ? Do you have any further screenshot about the...

Time few weeks, and you will master to press the accelerator without having the ICE to start up It is hard to use 99% of all power without kick in the ICE ... but to get 90% it is not so complicated, and you will master this in a relative short time

No idea what is the right approach for the 2019 model. Mine get now a SOH update every 45days, mainly due to low usage and many partial charge (if I'm not planing to make more then 10km on next day I just charge the car for 1 or 2 hours instead of make a full charge) Still some weeks ago I got...

I had same issue after a service on my old PHEV I took the car back to dealer, and they fixed this in 2h time. I believe they did all at firmware or MUT-3 level. After this they did provide me also the WiFi password which I did not had before

Looking forward for the pictures with solar panels ;) Will be interesting to know how many kwh of energy you can get from solar in a good sunny day ... Economical wise, I can't see how to justify a 4000 euro investment ... but ... the cool effect is priceless 8-)

I believe something is wrong in the BMU I have notice that after a period of many partial charges, the expected voltage at 30% SOC is not from 3.81v seen years ago, to 3.85v For some reason now the BMU has a new mapping between voltage and SOC (clearly after the famous 2h rest time) ... and...

Super job. So .. actually you are carrying around 220v power line via battery and inverter in the trunk. So, for get the extra range you need to stop the car, click a button on the remote and plug the charging cable, from your new socket and the J1772 .. right ? Why you did not go for a more...

One important difference between save and charge. If stopped at a traffic light, in charge mode, the ICE will be still running for charge the battery (quite a waste of fuel) At traffic light in save mode .. the ICE will automatically switch off So ... charge should be used carefully .. since...

Tesla use 18650 / 21700 lithium cells ... possibly 3.6v nominal voltage .. each cell is 3.4Ah / 5Ah .. they need around 7000/3000 (3000 on model 3) of these for make the full battery pack Our PHEV use big prismatic cells. nominal voltage is 3.75v .. and we have only 80 of these big cell in our...

A Volvo PHEV got on fire in UK time ago ... while was charged at home Battery can always explore and go on fire .. if overcharged, even without a super charger "Overcharge" issue could happen with battery ageing Since our battery get charged only up to 4.1v , and the max voltage should be...

Here in Poland I did change the windshield for under 200 euros (new windows + a good mounting service that took 30min or less) The official dealer was quoting me around 1000 euro if I recall right (they never seen me again, I moved to a different official dealer which is more economical and...

Not bad at all this Opel :geek: So ... it is looking a FWD which eMotor on RWD on demand (which is quite a odd design) It has 8 gears .. so a more complex design compared to our Outlander .. but this might give better fuel economy .. and it has visible much better performance. It does AWD...

It is already difficult to estimate properly battery degradation with the OBD2 WatchDog .. so in absence of this, is almost impossible to give any realistic idea what is going on. Real EV range from fully charged is influenced not only by the driving style, but as well, by the temperature of...

It is possible that firmware update could have change a bit the regen power setting/behavior. The energy collected from regen is a bit tricky, since it is function of: - Battery SOC - Battery temperature - Speed - Brake pedal position - B setting So .. lot of parameter For make things more...
