I think it is not a clever design by Mitsubishi. If I switch on the heater manually, It means I will drive within some minutes. If the cable is connected, why not take the power from the mains? The charging timer is there to buy cheaper electricity during the night or to limit the main required...

I am confused when I have used the remote to start the heater before departure. When I start, only about 80 % of the battery remains. It is not full despite charging overnight. (The 230 V is connected but charging timer set to night charging,) Do we have to turn on the heater and turn on the...

I just would like to inform you that Mitsubishi updated our MMCS so it is now working again and not rebooting over and over. Unfortunately all EV statistics were lost in the process before I had a thought to write it down. The update is called "Brösarp" or maybe "Brosarp" by Mitsubishi Japan...

Hi anko! Sorry, this meaning was in my brain but I didn't type all of it. It should have been like this: "I cannot reach a destination 90 km away without emtying the battery if I don't use the charge button a lot." It is not enough to use the save button. When pulling up the boat trailer on a...

I'm towing a rather large boggi boat trailer 1470 kg with boat. I cannot reach a destination 90 km away if I don't use the charge button a lot. Using the save button (to use the ICE and try to maintain the charge) will empty the battery before the destination, driving 80 km/h without much hills...

Harald, do you dare to enter a route to Brösarp (in Sweden) from Austria? Anyway, the beautiful hills there are much more easy to climb than your´s in Austria!

We had driven nearly three years and 56000 km in our Mitsubishi PHEV, happily until two days ago, without any faults of the car when an unbelievable error happened I cannot resist to let you know! I had just programmed a 93 km long route in the GPS and the GPS had started giving directions when...

Hi Anko, So where is this torque measured then? The interesting torque needed in this situation is at the wheels in the lowest gear at very slow speed to pull the boat trailer up. I guess a practical test is more interesting to hear about than any numbers. For instance; how steep can a PHEV...

Thanks for answer. But it is a D5 and it is rated 400 Nm. However, isn't that torque measured at the motor shaft? In gear 1 it should be about 3 times more at the outgoing gearbox ... But what matters should be the force on the wheels and then are the tyre radius and differential gear ratio...

Hi Chris or anybody else, Is that 1500 kg including the weight of the trailer? Will the PHEV be able to pull up a 1500 kg total weight 4 wheeled boat trailer on a sandy beach? We are using a Volvo XC90 diesel with manual gear today and it will do it easily. However, we consider to change to a...
