On my 2019 model it suffices to hit the EV button and omitting step 4, before doing brake pedal - start button in this sequence.

I've been playing with this for over ten years. I always use EV when driving under 90 kph, Save or Charge over. Save when I have enough left for the slow bits, Charge when I need more at the end of the journey, or when there is power-hungry driving ahead, like significant hills. In the mountains...

Maybe I am a simplistic person but on long runs I will charge up the battery to the level I think I will need for the slow bits, switch to Save when I have reached that level and use up the electricity when efficient, to arrive empty. I have been doing so for the last ten years and don't bother...

Unfortunately pure EV driving is not what PHEVs are for - they are designed to switch between hybrid and EV. The precise switching points and parameters for behaviour vary per model and brand. It is up to the customer to buy the model that fits his needs best.

This. The guessometer only extrapolates the recent past.

At any rate, why use the ChaDeMo charger at all? In the manual, Mitsubishi warns about using it regularly, as it will degrade the battery.

Probably the most FAQ of FAQ's... Start the car without touching the brake pedal. When the warning "press brake pedal" comes up, press the EV button The car will go into EV mode. Then press the brake pedal and the Start button. Disclaimer - this is for European models with an electric heater...

I would simply detach the 12V battery and trickle-charge it, reconnect upon returning.

Good news: Mitsubishi will reintroduce the PHEV in the EU in 2024. It will be built in France by Renault, like the Spacestar and the Eclipse Cross. So my dealer told me today.

And wear down the clutch by making it act like a brake pad? I don't think so.

:lol: :lol: I am still trying to figure out how starting the engine and adding energy to the drive train "instead of returning energy to the battery :?: " could possible create a braking effect. It probably involves the creation of antimatter... :ugeek:

You can use the App to control the heating/cooling when the car is parked.

What Lon12 and Greendwarf said. It is all much of a muchness - the charge and save buttons are there to allow you to "predict the future" to the car's computer. It can never know whether you will be doing a stretch of driving which can be done more efficiently on battery power ahead. The main...

There is no need to stop and recharge as long as you do not get the "reduced power" warning.

That is the one, he claimed that weight. I can't find it as that forum is next to dead and has a grotty search function.

The post I referred to might have been in the Dutch PHEV forum.

Allegedly the car has a wade depth of 40cm.

This. I have not opened the port on the car since 2013.

Way back in 2014 there was a post in this forum (too lazy to find it) that reported towing a 4000 kg trailer.
