A tourist camper van side-swiped our driver's side mirror before Christmas. Damage was very similar to your situation. It is covered by insurance but we have been waiting over six weeks for the insurance company and now parts from Mitsubishi. Very frustrating....

Unison are putting in fast charge stations with CHAdeMO and an incompatible CCS plug. Anyone know what Z Energy are supporting? Mitsubishi seem to have underestimated the speed at which a NZ fast charging network would be developed.

We had this problem as well. Charger replaced the same day by the dealer.

I have used from a Mighty River Power charge station and it was fast, probably about 3 hours for a full charge. At home a full charge is about 6 hours from a standard 10 amp plug.

I measured the inside car width at about 145 cm, apologies if you think in inches. It is not much wider than my Subaru Legacy station-wagon. We use no-name Chinese branded car seats which are about 42 cm wide.

We can just fit three child seats across the back.

The car does not wallow at all. I find the suspension quite stiff, which is probably a consequence of having the extra weight of the batteries low down on the chassis.

I have the entry level model, called an XLS in New Zealand. The screen is standard Mitsubishi so doesn't have any PHEV performance information. The driver display does indicate what is driving the vehicle and performance though; it is sufficient but not as flash as the high end model. Bluetooth...

We were told by our dealer that their was a reduction in battery life of around 20% after ten years.
