We are able to connect to the Pool Pump Tariff here in QLD, so we are paying 20c /kWh & have power for about 18 hours / day

Mine is on all the time while the charge plug is in its socket

I had a 15 amp socket installed We also had it connected to off peak power also, the power is available for 18 hrs a day. It works well with us as the PHEV is out most days Enjoy the sound of quiet motoring PS I am in Port Douglas Qld

I cannot comment on the heater as living in Port Douglas Qld, Aus, we get a min of 15 deg C & at the moment the temp varies between 25 deg C & 36 deg C :lol: On the regen braking, I use a lot of between B3 & B5 for control of speed going downhill. I have found that the A/C used a lot more...

I have taken mine up the Bloomfield track. This is between Cape Tribulation & Wujul We did have some feedback in the steering however no more than expected. Here is a youtube video that someone has taken in the past to give you an idea. A couple of the climbs approach 18%...

I had mine delivered with Roof Racks, & they whistled- we collected the car on a Saturday & there was no one in the workshop. When the racks (Genuine) were fitted, they had forgotten to install a rubber strip on the under side We love our PHEV

For your info I am getting 43 kms with the air conditioning running (30 deg C temp) There is about 50m of rise & fall, so relatively flat 20kms is at 95kph the rest is at 50kph with standard country stop start. There is 6 kms to go when I get home Edit- 4 leaves

Enjoy your new car. It is hard to drive & keep your eye on the road with all the information that is available to you
