It functions exactly as Mitsubishi intends; it just doesn't function like you want it to. Plus I'm afraid you don't seem to understand how the car works: the battery is being used most of the time. How do you think it works without "constant drain and fill"? Isn't that what the "EV" part of...

Seriously? Have you sued the maker of every previous car you've driven because it didn't match the predicted mpg?

Get this error in Brave (a Chromium clone) It's a real PITA to have to go through a 3-step process to open or reopen every webpage, our 4-step when posting :(

With trips from UK to Switzerland and back, then Austria & Italy and back, we averaged 31mpg. Most of that was cruising on motorways below the speed limit, with the odd trip back and forth between accommodation and ski resort. 40mpg would have been lovely, especially as we were paying over €2...

As long as the wheel is large enough to fit over the brakes, there are only 3 measurements that matter for fitting a new wheel: PCD, centre bore and offset. You can be slightly flexible with the last, but the other 2 must match to be safe. There are several sites that list these figures for most...

I can safely say that regen is used all the time on mine when in ACC. You can watch the power meter dipping into the negative when the car has to slow down.

And check your tyres are at the right pressures and not worn unduly - tracking would have an effect too. Thanks for checking the GOM and the actual range achieved - so many questions are about the GOM alone which is fairly meaningless

That's what we get if we're lucky at this time of year with the cold temperatures. Mind you - ours has done 85k miles in 7 years

You want to get those metal keys sorted out. If neither opens the car, they're not the originals - someone has got some spares and got the garage to reprogram them. I had the opposite on holiday when both the key batteries were flat and I had to unlock the car using the key. The alarm went off...

As jaapv says, try it. Regardless of what you may read, the car does switch back to Series. It also switches back to Series when the car says the fuel is low and displays "---" on the range. Not sure I understand why, though... SWMBO doesn't like driving with "---" range even though there's...

If you keep saying, "I'm right and everyone else is wrong", maybe you need to re-evaluate if you are actually right. ;)

Because you pressed the power button without pressing the brake, the car did not connect the drive battery into the DC-DC converter. So you flattened the 12V battery. If you have an electric heater, it's much easier to program the car to preheat while connected to the mains. You can do it via...

Once the car is fully "On", the 12V battery isn't used - all 12V power comes from the drive battery via the DC-DC converter. If the ICE is on, the car must be fully "On", so that's not your issue. All the 12V battery does is turn on the computers in the car and connect the drive battery into the...

At low speeds, the car decides on the engine revs required based on efficiency and power required. If the battery is below ~80%, any spare power will be sent to the battery anyway, so it's not as if the power is wasted. In parallel mode at higher speeds, the engine speed is tied to road speed so...

As mentioned, you can't just use any old replacement. The battery is technically inside the car, so you need to replace it with a similar type. Not sure where you're based, but mention of Halfords leads me to suspect the UK. Richi (of FAQ fame) has a UK Amazon page with various items for the...

Can anyone set 2 charge timers? Ours only allows one a day to be active

"Running" is a bit of a misnomer. Whenever the car is "On" or charging the drive battery, the DC-DC converter will be running the 12V electrical system and charging the 12V battery. The 12V battery is basically needed to run things when the car is off, and then to start the computers and connect...

It's winter. Everyone's EV range (PHEVs, BEVs, hybrids, etc) drops by at least 25% when the battery's cold. Then it returns when it warms up again.

There's loads of information in Richi's FAQ. Well worth a read before asking a question that's been asked hundreds of times before https://www.richi.uk/p/mitsubishi-outlander-phev-faq.html

That clip is over 5 years old - I think we might have heard something by now ;)
