I think they just came to the conclusion that changes to taxation status and other rules in the pipeline would just be too much trouble. We've just bought a new car and I researched the options. The Outlander with its short EV range has lost most of the advantages that it used to have. When we bought ours ten years ago, it was Congestion Charge exempt, Road Tax was zero, Company Car penalty was very low and the taxation status as far as the company was concerned was very favorable. Most of that is gone, or is in the process of going. Mitsubishi is coming under a lot of criticism for battery degradation - so they reprogram the battery management and get criticised instead because the engine starts more frequently. If I were a Mitsubishi marketing executive, I would be asking myself if the time were approaching when the car would become more trouble than it is worth on the production line.
