I certainly can't keep the needle perfectly flat in any B setting other than B0 without constantly staring at it. You must have mirror flat roads because the slightest road level change will require compensation. Alternating between accelerating and regeneration in order to try to keep that...

"Any comments on this ? Car doors are locked by this process but car may not be fully security armed ?" Most likely. "Would it be possible, if entry was forced, to drive away as the fob is still in the car ?" Absolutely Using the metal key has random effects on my 2014 model. The alarm will...

Driving only in B5 and trying to hold the pedal somewhere in between is not a good thing. There are thermal losses using regen and the higher the regen current the more losses. Using B0 as much as possible will always be the most efficient way to drive but only using B5 to slow down at higher...

What I mean is that it respond too quickly and directly to the different loads. It should not assume that if I am driving up a hill that I am always going to drive up that hill but it does. If I drive up the first hill which is less than 60 seconds it will almost immediately subtract over 10 km...

I consider 29-33km a bit low for a brand new car. You would have to be a lead foot driver or dive a lot too fast up hill. It is a bit hilly where I am and by km I drive more on the highway and still get 50km real range, but I consider myself an efficient driver and make use of the paddles a...

It does. Using the brake pedal is a combination of regen and wasteful mechanical braking. Why I know that? My brake pads squeek! Regen doesn't. I use the brake as little as possible. Maybe that is why they squeek.

Nice to have that power supply, mine only has 5A. The dog is highly recommended. 44km sounds a bit low to me. Initially mine showed up to 74km but it has learned quite well, a full charge might now show 54km but I will get a real range of 51km including highway driving with some modest hills...

AFAIK all Mitsu PHEVs up to 2018 use the exact same battery management module but it seems that the installed firmware may be different. So from a hardware perspective if the data can be corrupted/reset with a few seconds of low voltage there is no capacitor backup for volatile data involved at...

2 weeks after reset: 37.6Ah, always very slow charge 5.3A, not always fully charged which is my intention but every day on the charger. About 500km driven in EV mode, with exception of a few 5second bursts flooring the pedal for fun.

The PRND(3)21 setup is mode selector, while the RND on the PHEV is a joystick with a neutral center. I understand that it has been derived from the selector of automatic cars but this is actually not the same. The selector function in automatics doesn't confuse me but this two way 'joystick' does.

I suppose I should have instructed to check the watchdog every time you try different diode combinations but you finally had success. That is fantastic, congratulations :D You won't believe how much better the car feels with that reserve. ...and you got it with the diode dropper, which is a...

Thanks for that video. Yes I read about Redflow a few years ago but hadn't seen it in practical use. South Australia is indeed ahead of time(for Australia) and has a much higher proportion of renewable energy than the other states. They also have the highest power bills and have had some major...

I bought second hand and did the battery reset and I have to say this is the best ride I have ever experienced :mrgreen: I live in a country where the highest allowed speed is 120km/h, unless you are 2000km from any civilisation where nothing will stop you driving faster other than a pot...

I still have troubles after 2 months with my PHEV starting in reverse sometimes. First gear has always been for me moving the shifter forwards, why does the PHEV then go in reverse when I push it forwards. There is no logic here. It should be push forwards for forwards and pull back for reverse...

I wrote before not to switch on the car AUX as that could fry the diodes. I am astonished it didn't but those 10A10s are pretty hardy. You should not see any error messages or service lights. I even mentioned to switch off the tailgate light. The car should be dead, no lights, nothing This is...

No need to open any plastic floor. It is designed for the negative terminal in series to the battery as I wrote before:

I almost always drove manuals and always felt unsafe in automatics. I like to switch back gears before a curve or down slopes and have control of the car with the motor brake and my throttle foot rather than swimming around with the brake pedal on autos. So 'shifting down' with the paddles...

Not so much 0-100 but 75-130 is where the traction power of three motors gives you a bit of F1 advantage over the petrol purists. Thats the only time I open the ICE for a bit of fun and this seat really moves like a small jet accelerating on the runway, otherwise I am an EV purist :mrgreen:

If that happened in Australia I would not even call it dishonest, just a standard mental state. The Mitsubishi PHEV is so rare here that it is likely your average dealer might think it is the same as a Toyota hybrid. EVs in general are unwanted. Not hard to find reviews bagging the PHEV from...

@mellwaters100, I have practically no experience driving in Hybrid mode(yet) but your info is very interesting. Hopefully somebody else might be able to confirm or compare the Hybrid behaviour you are experiencing.
