- Yes of course there's a lower limit here as well, that would not increase efficiency further and an even lower limit that would just keep the battery at it's current SOC (due to self-discharge). Higher currents does make charging less efficient. - Of course there are other losses to account...

The converter has an energy efficiency of about 85% (AC <---> DC). The motors (which act as generators) are generally pretty efficient (90-99%). We have no exact data from Mitsubishi as far as I know. Charging and discharging the battery is more efficient with lower currents, i.e. B1...

Thanks, that's a valid point.

Spot on! I think this is exactly what OP means: "Do not be scared of using that charge button". If it's gonna run anyway, you can keep it running for longer.. sometimes It can pay off later when you can do pure EV in town etc, very much depending on the situation. Standing still on a parking...

Well I have done plenty of searching and reading here, It's a great forum full with expertise :D I'm familiar with the concepts of EV/CHARGE/SAVE-functions, and EV/SERIES/PARALLEL-modes. I was mostly amazed by the low consumption he achieved, from my own experience (test-driving before I...

So it'll always be power demand, not speed which govern series/parallel. This seems logical but does not explain why it did choose series with more battery left and then switched to parallel.

Hi all, So I saw this video by Gary Reed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vINRgiOxrV4 Can anyone explain this behavior; why does it stay in series, shouldn't parallel be more efficient at 90-100km/h+? And why does it switch to parallel later when SOC is (a bit) lower? He does not give us...

Hi! I've been reading on this forum for a while, now I've registered and this is my first post =) So basically a quick question, has anyone tried using two OBD-II units at the same time using a Y-Cable ("OBD-II Splitter")? I have a GPS tracking unit which I must use all the time since It's a...
