Hi, I bought one a few months ago, and I don't have any regrets! It drives really well and I'm averaging 33 km per liter now, including slow charging at home. I'd say get yourself a bluetooth or wifi OBD dongle and download the PHEV Watchdog app on your phone, see https://phevwatchdog.net/ for...

Wow, I completely missed that fact, I didn't think about comparing the amp hours, instead I've tunnel-visioned on the state of health. But you're right, it says "battery capacity sustainability". I've never heard of that before, and they definitely sold it to me as a state of health, as that was...

Hi, Let me show you the battery test report the dealer gave me. I reckon they took an old one and removed the manufacturing year, type and VIN from the form. Anyway, I'm this turned out all right, but I won't be buying another car from them! Just an FYI, I love the car, it's going great! No...

Thanks Daixiwen! I haven't driven it for 50km purely electric yet, so I'll see if I can get a number on actual driving range on the battery. For what it's worth, the board computer tells me I've got 51 km range when it's fully charged. I think I found the sticker you were talking about, hope...

@jaapv, I did not know that, that would indeed explain what would have happened. Do you know roughly what that procedure would look like, or where I can find out? Just curious to hear more about it. I think that solves the mystery =) Thanks everyone!

Hi, I found out that the OBD dongle still reads the same 91% SOH, so it doesn't seem like the battery pack has been swapped. So, that boils down to the big question: why does the battery check from the dealer come back at 76% SOH, while the OBD read-out shows 91% SOH? I have to admit that I'm...

Hi, thanks for the replies, awesome to hear your view on things. Just to get back on some of your comments. @Amiraldar The dealer didn't say anything about the SOH when I came in for a test drive. I plugged in the dongle and read 91% SOH. I asked for a battery check (I never used the watchdog...

I'm currently in the process of buying a 2013 Outlander PHEV. I brought an OBD dongle with me for the test drive and plugged it in. I was surprised to find a state of health of 91% (!!!) It has 36.6 Ah left. Maybe it had the batteries replaced not long before it got imported? I used the PHEV...
