Hypermiler Sounds like you've got a good one. Regs Sandy.

The charger is hard wired and I use my phev when it pleases me, No set times.Morning or afternoon but its useful to know this could also affect the battery if I use it. Like the idea from Phevsincejune. Will ask a rep from the dealer to sit in while I drive a typical journey. Then maybe ask to...

DrSlackBladder Thanks for your input. I can understand that speeds such as 70 mph will lower the actual distance and some will say you've done very well. I'm taking about driving with no heater no lights not over 45mph and mid afternoon semi rural average terrain and still only getting 17.2...

Ozukus Thanks for this, it gives me bullets to fire. The more helpful info I get can get is the better .I only ever got 26 once, that was the first week I had it. Its dropped every week since then. Yours is ok, what I would have excepted from mine. Or is my right foot/driving is getting worse...

PHEVsincejune Thanks for the helpful comment, appreciate your input. Will be able use this. Mine is now doing 17-18 actual miles. Still awaiting dealer who says is liaising with Mitsubishi. Incidentally I have found that I can get up to 19.5 miles real distance, if I drive the car when charging...

Ha Ha, must admit he can put his foot down a bit more. Cause he's not got a faulty car. Jaapav you sound like my Mitsubishi dealer. Good idea! Il see how it goes when he drives mine. :lol:

If the heater wasn't on then no petrol would be used and then it would be back down to 18.I agree 22 would be good if the amount of petrol had not been used at the same time. As I say my neighbour getting 28 in this weather .I've seen it with own eyes.

Thanks for that, I will keep on at the dealer and Mitsubishi. I rarely got as much as your old phev even when it was warm in September. Its cold today in the UK, Not freezing but cold. I got 22 miles out of the battery with the heater on so the petrol cut in giving me 74 mph and 74% efficiency...

As blogged before .My Phev has already been into the dealer re poor actual mileage battery range, then 20/24. Mitsubishi say this is in range? They also tell me that the battery indication range on the dash reflects the previous journeys. I have now asked them if this is correct then why does...

Had the car 2 months now 1500 miles .Went into dealer re battery range. Dealer says the car is within range. They say they managed to get 28 miles out of the battery. Don't Know how? They never said. I can only manage 21 to 24.5. Driving as light footed as possible. Not impressed .Don't know...

When putting the car in reverse and the car has not been used for short time ,The red and white lines on the image take quite a few seconds to come on .My dealer says this is normal. I find it frustrating. Does anyone else find this.

The first miles shown are those of the range / charge shown on the dash indicator after full charge. I then reset the milometer for each full charge journey. I have never driven so slow, trying to save the battery distance. Certainly not heavy foot. I use the limiter regularly and rarely are...

I have now had my Outlander Phev since mid September. It started with battery charge accumulating a range of 30 miles. It then went to 29 then 28 and now its down to 26,by the time its off the drive its down to 25 in 10 yards. Two days ago the actual miles it achieved was 21.5 .I have never had...
