Interesting - I take it you are in Canada and this seems to be the first indication of what I was alluding to at the start of this thread. Do you think you could post more details - there seems to be some Google references in French but I don't trust my translation skills.

Spent a little time googling this - it seems now relatively common with suspect being the thinner types of glass being used. This link shows it actually happening. In my case today there was nothing in front of me so maybe hit by a meteorite which vapourised on impact...

Just back up north from London and my sunroof shattered when I was in fast lane of M1. Quite disconcerting as no impact just sudden noise above our head and took several minutes to realise what had happened. Managed to get across two busy lanes with wife hanging onto internal cover to keep it...

Nissan I understood increased the 24 kWh capacity to 30 kWh within the same battery pack size but by changing the cells and module arrangements with updated power management unit. The overall weight increase was relatively slight, about the weight of a small child. I suppose they could have an...

Maybe Nissan will show them how to avoid this. http://www.nextgreencar.com/news/7644/nissan-agrees-to-take-34-stake-in-mitsubishi/

But the issue is that Mitsubishi are delaying the opportunity to increase battery capacity to optimise recharging. It recharges fully overnight in less than 3 hours but we are asleep for 6. If you pushed its capacity up to 20 kWh it would just charge at faster rate on a rapid without taking much...

According to official OLEV figures 98% of car journeys are less than 50 miles so there is a massive market for a 50 mile range PHEV. You may right about fleet drivers but they are the problem giving Outlander drivers a bad name. The tax perk was meant to increase EV mileage and reduce emissions...

With the recent news about bigger battery capacities on new BMWs ZOEs and LEAFs due to increased efficiencies should'nt we hearing something from Mitsubishi soon. They are missing a trick in not taking full advantage of their unique PHEV Chadamo outlet. Just got a bill of £0.90 from CYC for use...

Yes I think you may have had to reverse in at an angle or right angles to make the cable reach - still that quite a distinctive car reg that gives the dog a bad name

Yes I've lost the will to keep going through the lists - and my antidote is aardbeg. I feel sure there has to be a way to keep the EV POIs on the map all the time. In the outlander and the price of petrol it's hardly worth going too far out of your way direct to a charge point rather than your...

Hopefully you can help Jim - were you able to display EV charge points permanently as POIs on the map before this upgrade or can you get them up now. I posted this in the tech forum a while back but no- one answered I would like to have public EV charging points displayed on my sat nav map and...

Correct the heated seats are sufficient, if you get inside a warm car you can easily avoid the the engine starting up if that's what you want. Using the heated seats doesn't seem to impact EV miles range much so must be quite efficient use of energy. I was so impressed with them in outlander...

I had this dilemma over a year ago but I think using car wow reduced differential by about £2k and the prospect of heated leather seats, sat nav, electric sunshine roof and remote heating were easily worth the extra. I use mine mostly in EV mode throughout winter snow and ice up in the northern...

Webuyanycar.com also throw in a fee so that combined with actual valuation being automatically less than web quote means the actual sales figure is way below what you are led to believe. I bought my new outlander through carwow at a couple of grand less than local dealers and to secure the deal...

Seems to have been, but very very wet and flowers & veg still growing outside. So did these tyres get sold.
