    ICE running unnecessarily?

    @anko Ok, but very confusing, the arrows and the icons clearly show the ICE powering a battery that is then powering the wheels... There should be a blue arrow (electricity) from the ICE to the wheels in this case, but there is not. So the battery icon is probably the generator. Also, in what...

    ICE running unnecessarily?

    @anko When When I look at the monitors - and I do it continuously :) - it looks like the ICE is feeding the battery that is then powering the wheels..., no orange arrow from the ICE to the wheels, but nontheless the engine behaves like it's powering the wheels as the rpms increase when I push...

    ICE running unnecessarily?

    @HHL Yes, only 200W, but better than nothing :) And provides heating immediately, unlike the ICE... Drove 40 km yesterday with only steering wheel heat and front seats on max, not too cold to be honest, with -15 outside temp. 0 emissions the entire trip :) Setting the inside temp to anything...

I'll contact the Swedish importer tomorrow...

    ICE running unnecessarily?

    @greendwarf I agree with what you wrote and though more or less the same, but then, do you think the ICE would really consume the same amount of gas if only producing the minimum amount of energy to keep it warm and powering the heating system as it requires right now when having inside temp >...

    ICE running unnecessarily?

    Brand new (3 days) Outlander PHEV Business Nav, had the same issue the first 2 days, googled and the solution for me is to set the inside temp to 15 degrees (no AC). The ICE does not start and we currently have -20. Sometimes it starts for a very very short period below -15 but it turns off...
