24 km range

[stevohams]

I bought a mitsubishi outlander phev 2014 2littre. 127000km. It has 24 km range with no electrics on. How long can I expect this car to last? Cheers

One can expect to last until it rust out and become non-serviceable.

I have done about 40,000 miles with 30miles EV range. The mechanics informed me that it was a million times better than a 2023 Volvo. It was purchased new in July 2015

I have a 2014 too.
The rear brakes were replaced a couple of years ago for free due to an "Update" - a Safety Recall really.
The 12V battery needs to be in good condition to boot up the EV electronics, so I replaced mine a few months ago.
Plenty of posts about this in the Tech forums.
I got a Optima Yellow Top Battery YTS 2.7 R (Reversed) (8073-176) (D51R) YTS2.7R YTR2.7 AGM.
Tyre pressures are much higher than ICE cars, mine are 38psi.

My 2018 PHEV guess-o-meter starts each day now at about 16-18 battery miles. The dash screen display shows the battery full. Is this rioe for the "reset" I see in these conversations?

In which case you must have done virtually no miles on EV if the range is still 30 miles after 9 years - so not a typical user!

My 2014 Outlander, with a little over 170.000 Km on board runs in EV mode for about 24 Km as well. No repairs so far (except for changing some lights are the filters...). I've bought it in 2019 (so about 5 years ago) when it had about 120.000 Km on board (so about 50.000 Km ago ).

You don't say where you are, but in winter in the northern hemisphere that sounds about right - so no.

The car? - as long as any other 10 years old with that sort of mileage depending how much normal wear and tear - and only someone who has seen and driven it, can advise you better.

The battery? - well that entirely depends on how many charge cycles it has been through, as lithium has around a 2000 cycles life, not the overall mileage. I also have a 2014 model with that sort of predicted range but less miles on the clock, as mine is mainly a city car but would hope for another 10 years out of the battery - although I doubt the car will last that long, the way I drive it!

In my case (2019 model) I know the drive batttery is using LEV46 modules which are standard Japanese battery modules. When things get too bad I'll get my local EV people to look at replacing modules.
I've searched for the 2014 models but I can't find any references for the modules on the web.

Update:

It appears the earlier Outlander models use LEV40 modules.

Thanks for the quick replies. I just found out my battery has 50% soh. Do yous know of anyone lower than that? And still functioning?
Thanks again

Thanks for the help mate. What was soh before you needed to change?

You may ask the dealer to do an DBCAM on your vehicle. That will update your SOH to it's actual state cause there is tendency battery management system to artificially lower it. You may easily gain 10% and more.

Last time I looked (January 2024) I was at 74.8% Soh. I haven't replaced anything yet, and probably won't do so for a good while. The Guessometer is now saying 40Km on a full charge (with no heating or A/C). I suppose when it gets down to 50% SOH I'll start thinking about it.
It's not a simple job, Hi voltage precautions, Draining the Air Conditioning circuits, I'll let a specialist company do it, lucliky there is a garage that specialises not far from me. So far all I've done is collate the relative information so that I know what will be involved.

In which case you must have done virtually no miles on EV if the range is still 30 miles after 9 years - so not a typical user!

Hi well known member. Ya. I do only about 5000 miles per year..mostly short runs. Today I drove it 34 miles...and initially it stated that MPG was --- as it was above 99mpg. [The car was fully charged]. Towards the last 2 mile getting home, the mpg then dropped to 99mpg, then 95mpg, and by the time I got home, it was 92.5mpg. So all my miles must be carried out on EV mixed with petrol. I put it on normal, which is what my son who had completed Honours at the University of Birmingham, Chemical Engineering Degree advised me to put it on. He stated that, that would be the best and most economical way to run the car. I have tried to switch it to "Charge", and as expected efficiency fell right through the roof. I have also tried it on "Save" mode, and again, the efficiency was not more than 99mpg. I have also tried EV mode with the EV button, and again the MPG is rather punitive once EV runs out. Again it is always best to put it on "NORMAL" mode, as that is what the car is designed for...for most efficient performance on fuel efficiency. I do about 100 miles per week..and use about 22.5 litres of unleaded petrol every six months, perhaps more.

I do about 100 miles per week..and use about 22.5 litres of unleaded petrol every six months, perhaps more. I charge it up to full everytime before my 31 miles trip. the MPG even when I get home is recorded as above 99mpg [recorded as ---]. If I drove non economically, eg go fast, brake lots, accelerate rapidly...then obviously I will not be able to maintain this more than 99mpg. I have worked out that if my annual milleage is 5200miles, and I put in 22.5litres every 6 months, then I am getting 115.55 miles per litre which converted to gallons [4.54609] is 525.326 miles per gallon. That is on condition that I keep the car fully charged up for each trip, which is what I have been doing. I live in Nantwich which is north west of England. I avoid braking, and avoid sudden acceleration. My drive at around 40 mph to 55 mph. I love driving in Wales as there is a lot of 20mph zones. The car is very efficient at that speed.I charge my car up fully on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays every week, except when I go on holiday.

I bought a 2015 with 135.000 km last year. The range at that time was 29 km ( ~ 18 miles) with 60% battery capacity according to PHEV watchdog. After 4000 km the range has dropped to 20 km, and the capacity to 56%. (Riding in Chile, warm weather)

I suspect the car has many more miles, any experience with battery capacity of high mileage Outlanders?
