sounds like your sponge or chamois has picked up some grit i'm afraid. sponges are really bad for this.

soon to follow, but that's more to do with a business venture I need a van for. not sure i'd buy a hybrid again, as i reckon the resale market will get pretty poor with the rapid advances in EVs.

does anyone know of anywhere in the world where the descent (on roads, not trying to drive from the summit of everest!) could take the drive battery from 'flat' to as charged as a chademo session would?

unless you sort out a way of charging, messing with the paddles, using charge and save buttons will make next to no difference. and i'm afraid that if you do a lot of the type of journey you mentioned, you might have the wrong vehicle!

phev would be the x, which i'd swap for in a heartbeat. (ignoring the big step up in cost)

it's trickle charging/conditioning at that point. probably not enough to show on a house meter.

bingo!

i think on balance, the most annoying thing has been that if I want to drain the battery in 10 miles because it's cold/ i want to max out the battery drain with a heavy right foot/ i actually want to be warm and have the windows free of mist, then i want that choice. obviously within certain...

so... given the responses (and all the tangents) to the original question, if money was no issue what would you go for next if not an outlander PHEV? for me, i'd wait for the tesla x and give that a go.

these are more or less exactly the reasons why i started the thread. controlling the car via wifi instead of via cellular network hardly feels like 2016 either!

On balance, I wouldn't have another PHEV for various reasons. Is there anyone else who has come to the same conclusion? If so, why?

my biggest disappointment from buying the phev is that as a relatively early adopter (sept 2014), i was hoping that mitsubishi would have a good sized team working on updates to the car and app which would be delivered as a stream of constant improvement over the months. so far, i've been able...

sorry anko, was a joke. chargevision web portal comes with some of the charge points in the uk, and most people think the algorithm for metering electricity is made of fairy dust and unicorn horn! this was what i was basing my 12 and a bit from.

are you arguing with the exact science that is chargevision?

12 and a bit kW from flat by my reckoning.
