Good evening. First post !
I bought Mitsubishi PHEV 2019 last weekend from Cazoo and I'm torn at the moment because I love the car but I'm bit disappointed with EV Mode.I drive to school, work and back home in the suburban city, around 20-25 miles daily and my aim is to use as less petrol as possible. With my Outlander after 5 hours of domestic charge I can only achieve 15 miles in the EV mode. Yesterday it was raining in the morning, it was 10 degrees C and I completely drained battery on my way home so I had to charge the car in evening again. Today after the charge battery range was shown as 15 miles on the monitor again however I was switching between modes while driving, used some petrol as well and I managed to add some charge and now on monitor there is 7 miles left but I also used 6 miles woth of fuel. I'm not satisfied as I was hoping to have at least 20 miles range (that was my entire daily round trip today) or bit more on the single charge in pure EV Mode. So my question is is it possible that battery isn't performing as it should on this car because it's 4 years old? It has 55k mileage, regular service history and one previous owner. I have only 3 days left to call Cazoo whether I want to keep the car or return it. Diagnostic tool would be handy to check the battery but I'm still waiting for it's arrival.
