The warranty is different in every country. Here in the US it's different in the state of California. For most of the US the battery is guaranteed against failure for 10 years, but it is not defined what failure means. It appears that a degradation of more than 30% is not considered a...

On my US 2018 GT the trick is to press both ECO and EV -BEFORE- turning on the AC or heater. This is especially important in winter when temp is more than 20 degrees below what is set on the heater. If you press both, the engine will only come on in my experience in below 10 degree F weather...

I did a sort of "Dublin" or D-method with success. Instead of running my car's battery down I used an old 12V car battery I had sitting around. My capacity jumped to 40AH initially. After 3 days it had three .1 AH drops down to 39.7AH, but it's still better than new. My first full charge...

I know what you mean about the battery draining below zero bars even with "CHARGE" pressed. The car is not very aggressive at charging while there is a load on the engine. I have found that SAVE works better than CHARGE if you press it early. In charge mode it will charge if it's not too much...

If you really want the phone audio on the driver side, you can go into setup on the MMCS and say it's a right hand drive car. I did this on mine and the audio did switch sides to the left. It didn't seem to really affect anything else, but making the change will erase all of your timers, radio...

I bought a Duosida 16A charger (EVSE). It is dual-voltage so works at either 120V or 240V. At either voltage it charges at 15 amps as measured by my home's power monitoring system. So - I can confirm the PHEV will accept 15A at either voltage. From what I have seen, the car is mainly...

I have that Duosida 16A charger. Works just fine. The car will accept a maximum of 3500W - so at 120V it will draw 16 amps from that charger which is about half it's maximum rate. I get a full charge in about 7 hours. By the way my Duosida is rated at 120V/240V. With the proper plug I can...

I think there are two possible problems using the Mitsubishi supplied US EVSE on 240v. Odds are there might be thyristors rated under 240v on the input circuit to protect against over voltage and transients. I saw somewhere that the repair shops are to watch for burned wiring inside due to the...

When the engine wouldn't start - could it be the drive battery was too low? The engine starts off the 300V drive battery, not the 12V accessory battery, so maybe? A week ago when I ran out of gas the car continued driving a few miles after the battery showed as totally empty on both displays -...

Question for stevorh - When you had the "EV System Service Required" warning did you stop/start the car a few times before taking it to the dealer? I have triggered that warning several times trying to use the iOBD2 reader. In my experience that message clears after several stops and starts of...

I'm curious about the unused SW3 on the 2018 key fob too. So far I can't see it doing anything, but being labeled as "SW3" inside - I would think it would do the same thing as SW3 on the older key fobs. Oh wait - that is reported as nothing. It seems to go to TP5, then on to pin 23 on the...

Has anyone tried activating the unused "SW3" on the 2018 key fobs? I know about the extra button on the older remotes, but I don't think I have heard this one being discussed yet. If you open the key fob you see the round switch on the edge for disabling the charge timer is labeled as "SW4"...

I have seen it posted that you can flip the speaker to the other side by going into the audio system's hidden menu and selecting either right hand drive or left hand drive. The default seems to be for the audio to come out on the passenger side for either setting. Does anyone know if there is...

Here in Maryland I find the following benefits are available for buying my 2018 Outlander PHEV: $5836 Federal tax credit $1200 Maryland sales tax rebate Maryland 40% rebate on charger and installation Access to HOV lanes with one person in the vehicle On the federal tax credit: Does anyone...

If you watch the dashboard "Energy Monitor" display you see that B5 can push up to 30kw into the battery. But hitting the brakes can push more - I've seen about 38kw. Might go over 50kw when braking based on some screen shots I've seen online. PHEVWatchdog will give stats for peak charge into...

Guess I'm a newbie - but today I get "Sorry, trip will not be saved." when I start live data. May have been trying to see which directory it puts data into. Currently set to "PHEVWatchdogLogs". This is my first experience with Android - not sure how I look at that directory or confirm it...

Second trip today - things seem to be back to normal. Just a glitch I guess.

I have been unable to get EVBattMon to work at all on my USA 2018 GT, so maybe the same problem with some changes in the data? On a related note - how long does it take to get logon access to the watchdog web site? I signed up a week or so ago, but never got any email to confirm my account...

Today when I started my commute, battery was almost full - no odd warnings. Set EV mode, heater off, eco off. Dash said that even with a full battery my electric range would be 14 miles. Odd because my last trip I did about 2.8 mi/kwh. Estimated gas and electric consumption were both 0. I...

Has anyone tried adding the car wifi to your home network? It is a pain to flip back and forth between internet access and car access. I'm thinking of either making the wifi ssid's match, or using a router to add the car's wifi subnet as a routed subnet. Problem is - will the car learn/use...
