PolishPilot questioned in PM if it is secure of using such box („what if it behaves like american Toyota and set full throttle”). Suggested solution is to use brake.
It is proven, that calling the police or fire brigades and crying, that car accelerates without driver's will is not a good idea. Also publishing that at Facebook or tweeting about while accelerating. Use brake instead. Applies to all cars
, not PHEV only.
We use automotive elements and IP67 chasis, so even splashing box with water cannot cause any strange behaviour. Also any misrecognition of signals by PHEV ecu causes power demand reduction to zero. Producing automotive products from 1998 we have never have such issues like "self accelerating". Some older IP44 boxes used in diesel tuning were flooded and stopped working, but that caused engine power reduction.
Second his concern was: what about insurance if there is an accident? To be honest I have never heard of Mitsubishi experts running to any collision or cullet :roll: . Box looks like any other controller in the car. Also it can be removed in one minute. In many cars additional controllers for audio, security or whatever are installed.
As it is not possible to have pure EV PHEV just by praise, cry, magic etc, it must be something installed. PHEV ECU reflash, CAN bus controller, or such box. You cannot have your cake and eat it too, so I think the only solution in that case when you are afraid of any modification (even box) is to stay with factory PHEV. But this even does not give you warranty that all will be running well (see Toyota) or according to the law (see Volkswagen) or without any issues (see Alfa Romeo). :shock:
