Puget Sound/Salish Sea area, West Washington State. We have a 2021 GT in (afaik, it's only a US designation).
We get anywhere from 22mi (about 35.4km) pure-motorway driving, down to 16mi (about 26km) up and down the numerous hills (Seattle) and mountains (Everett to Wenatchee, US Highway 2...
CE/EE guy here.
The folks above who've said, you have a ground fault are correct. I had this at the initial outlet I used (US 117VAC 8A single ~). The ground has to be clean. If it isn't, a charger providing large amounts of current might cause a fire. The safety features of the charger Mits...
Only used the ChaDeMo system twice (public chargers, while waiting in line and the grocery store); both times it only charged up to about 75% before shutting off.
I was wondering why also; my level-2 charger at home can give me a 90-99% charge in 3-4 hours.
Our local Public Utility District (PUD) offered their customers Enel JuiceBox level-2 chargers at a steep discount (about $300US off the regular price), plus, if you got them, they'd put you on a special rate-plan that did not penalize you for the extra drain. All this was part of a state-wide...
I work for a company that manufactures grid-scale battery storage systems. I have some knowledge of this type of cell and the ancillary charging circuitry.
Most of the newer models (and I don't have the official specs on the Outie, but this is a trend across the EV-PHEV industry) have either...
Has anyone tried these tires on their Outlander PHEV:
Toyo Observe GSi-6 Studless
My 2021 PHEV GT takes 225/55R18's. I don't want to change sizes.
I've used an earlier version of this same tire on a 1991 Subaru Legacy Turbo sedan and a 1996 all-wheel-drive Chrysler minivan, and they were...
Purchased end of March, 2021. Only two options: brake-light strobe and window deflectors (the latter of which I installed myself).
Sorry about the crappy pictures; I'll take better ones in daylight later.
Agreed. We've just started using Toyo Observe GSI-6 studless winter tires and now our 2021 PHEV is better on the ice than my friend's brand new 2023 Subaru Outback. We actually put a towel over our bumper and pushed him up the hill. Serious bragging rights, now. 😏
Next year we'll get new rims...
The relay would probably kick on as soon as it starts to boot.
I don't think your relay has failed
I think it's far more likely that you have a head-unit or vehicle core unit failure of some sort (either hardware or possibly software).
But I'm a newbie to this car, so maybe someone else has a...
Hey, all. I'm a twofer (both new owner and forum member).
Just picked up a 2021MY GT model in Renton, WA USA.
We have been interested since 2018 but were quite annoyed that the rest of the world got an upgrade in 2019 to a bigger battery and rear-motor but we in the US did not. Sucks to be...
1. Owner - April Fools' Day, 2021 (I hope I'm proven not to be a fool) ;)
2. US/NA 2020 GT
3. Facelift (after 2016 exterior change - like, four years after)
4. Wife & I drove a 2018 model and liked it, until I found out that the US was not getting
the planned upgrade that the rest of the...
