Today while parking the car, my Outlander PHEV shot forward, even though I had my foot firmly on the brake. Luckily the car in front of me stopped it from hitting anything worse, like a person. Has anyone else experienced a problem with either the brakes or the car accelerating oddly. For...

Our company is finally putting in charge points at the office. If anyone has a Type 1 to Type 2 connector that they really aren't getting use out of and would like to sell it then let me know. Otherwise it will be off to EV Connectors to purchase one so I'm ready for the New Year!! Cheers,

Interesting article about some positive research into Lithium Oxygen batteries. With 10 times more density, would love to replace my current Lithium Ion with these, 300 mile range with a backup petrol donk...

Would anyone out there classify themselves as a DIY solar power guru. I'd like to understand a few aspects of this with regard to charging my PHEV using Solar Power, but have no idea of what panel outputs actually relate to what the PHEV needs etc. E.G. If I had a dual axis tracking system...

Just saw this article on Yahoo. Now that really woul be great, can the first road be the M25 please. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/uk-set-trial-electric-car-095516881.html#oVDiMoe

I understand you can buy a cable, however considering that the bulk of vehicles purchased in the UK have a Type 1 connector, why are most of the tethered charge stations fitted with a type 2 adaptor. I do use a rapid charger at motorways services 1-2 times a week, however all of the charge...

The following outlines some useful information I dug out of the manual while looking for functions that I could perform in a GX3h since it doesn't have MMCS. Some are just general information that I included, specification independent, as these were things I found out either on the forum or just...

I'm aware that quite a few of you have, however if you haven't yet, and really want to marvel at the technology of this car, pull the release lever, lift and look under the bonnet. It truly is a masterful piece of engineering to see the 2 engines side by side. When shown to most people who show...

Today I stopped off at Westbound Heston Services and for the first time the charge station was free (my nemesis BYD driver always at the point wasn't there). I had about 2-3 miles of EV range left and the unit took 22 minutes to take me back up to 80%, all well and good. However when I drove...

This is an attempt to explain the way that Regenerative Breaking works - please feel free to amend, discount, simplify or agree even! Regenerative Breaking is engaged through the application, or release, of pressure on either the break pedal or the accelerator pedal dependent upon the manual B...

Am considering creating a UK based PHEV owners club. Thinking of things like - a club website (naturally) - electronic news letter with information garnered from the forums being sanitised into articles - a nice phev keyring for members - access to a 4wd location that can provide charging...

If anyone is in the SE England (agreeable drive to Sidcup), I got new inscribed car mats for XMAS so the perfectly good set I bought off eBay about 2 weeks ago, without knowing the missus was buying me some for XMAS, are going spare. They cost £15.99 and if anyone wants them for £10.00 then...

Anyone got any advice on the windscreen wipers running in auto mode. This is in todays British weather commonly called Mizzle, very light Drizzle. - When I'm stopped they don't move. - When I drive off slowly they wipe a couple of times then stop, rarely coming back on. - When I drive off...

As the Oracle of all knowledge on this forum and to add some humour I've decided to create a thread for Maby to answer innocuous :roll: questions related to their Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. By example!! Dear Maby, Having been disappointed with the colour choices for the Outlander PHEV I...

I believe the issue is related to the fact that it is performing a fairly high continuous draw of electric over an extended period of time. Most high draw items such as toasters, kettles etc, only draw the electric over a short period of time whereas for the Outlander it will be continuous for...

The current fuel consumption test follows something called the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) which is in two parts, an ‘urban’ cycle and an ‘extra-urban’ cycle. Urban cycle From a cold start the car is driven following a rigidly defined stop start cycle covering a total of around 2.5 miles...

Instead of a sunroof why didn't they consider a solar panel roof as an option, be great for you guys in Australia.

Anyone know the names of the ships that are supplying November deliveries for the UK. Ordered mine 13th September, starting to get a tad frustrated with the delivery times along with poor info from Mitsubishi.

So the PHEV is on order and I've organised the charge unit to be installed. I looked at British Gas, however they were fairly unresponsive, so went with Charge Master who have been brilliant, and for the same unit no cost. So now I have to consider do I go for the 16 Amp Charge Unit or the 30...
