I had started another post 'freeway charging' but it seemed to take a bit of a left turn so thought to start a new one.
History: I took delivery of a used 2020 Outlander PHEV early January and drove it home 1092klms during which I saw after dividing drive settings and habits a battery mileage climb to 66klms remaining. Very pleased.
However, since then the cars been doing all the short trips around where I live which is why I got rid of the gas guzzling ICE only car and went to the PHEV - three days or so of EV and lower petrol requirements.
I've charged the car with its provided single phase unit a couple of times. The most charge I seem to get out of it is 33klms.
By using the B5 setting while driving and turning on Charge, the most i can get the battery up to is 24klms and this shows an almost full battery gauge and I can feel the B5 isn't as strong which the forums tell me to expect when the battery is getting full - ie: regenerative braking dials itself back.
So in this respect its disappointing. I thought with a full charge I was supposed to get about 50 - 60klms EV?
Its the 2.4l motor with the 13.8kW battery pack.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there something I need to do to get my EV klms back?
The vehicle has just turned 32,000klms and is like brand new.
