Hi Mark, That's not my experience. If I use the brake pedal then I am definitely using the brake some of the time, whereas if I set the regen to B5 and just use the accelerator pedal then I am definitely not using the brake pedal at all. In other words that is the difference between how I was...

Hi Goldie I guess that when I took delivery of the PHEV I was driving it more like a conventional car and using the brake a fair amount. What I find myself doing these days is hitting the regen braking paddle soon after starting off, so the PHEV is in B5 for city traffic, and using the...

There has to be more to it than that. An ICE doesn't start just because you activate the fuel injection. I am guessing that what you meant to say was that when the Outlander is moving forward if you engage the clutch that connects the ICE to the front axle ( parallel mode) and at the same time...

Re resistive heat or ICE heat. I took delivery of my PHEV, with resistive heat option, in January. I live near Amsterdam. I don’t imagine that the weather here is so different to Glasgow. It’s not easy to figure out what is working when. Mitsubishi have done an excellent job in making...

@ Lindsay. There seems to be some confusion surrounding the quality that Mitsubishi is now planning to manufacture. Earlier reports said that they were upping the capacity to 4000 from 2000 in September which is the only way I figure they can possibly deliver 7000 to The Netherlands before the...

There are news reports that indicate that the production of the Outlander PHEV restarted today Monday 19th of August. http://news.cnyes.com/Content/20130819/KH9P6DLLU02UF.shtml?c=industry If anybody has any more definitive information I'd be interested in learning about it.

There have been a rash of press reports about Mitsubishi planning to base the next generation of the EVO on the Outlander PHEV technology, meaning a PHEV with serial/parallel hybrid electric/ICE propulsion...

I keep seeing a block diagram on web pages, that I assume was published by Mitsubishi, that doesn't make any sense to me so here is my take on how the different parts are connected. I make the following assumptions, that of course could be wrong. 1) Mitsubishi is using Synchronous AC...

Bob, I don't think this is the correct, is it? What I understood is that there were two seperate issues. The li-ion battery production problem, which did not require a recall only a change in the production process, and a firmware/software issue in the control of the two electric motors. Just...

I can only give you a link to the Dutch brochure. You will find the different versions on page 6 http://www.mitsubishi-motors.nl/uploadedFiles/Parent_Site/General_Contents/Outlander%20PHEV%208%20Leaflet%20low%20pix.pdf Standaarduitrusting = standard equipment The Instyle has extra equipment...

The smartphone app is part of the Instyle package. I found a picture of it on this page: http://www.glynhopkin-mitsubishi.co.uk/innovation/outlander.aspx

The Dutch brochure says this:- Branstofverbruik ( gecombineerd) 1.9 l/100km - combined fuel consumption Branstofverbruik in hybride modus 5.4 l/100km - combined fuel consumption in hybrid mode Actieradius elektrisch 52 km distance in electric only mode...

Mitsubishi specs 11 seconds for zero to 100km/hr This video suggest that under eight seconds is possible. http://youtu.be/ZTy1OHLGQb4 You can see when they hit the peddle because the camera jerks upwards. I wonder if Mitsubishi limits the current to stop the batteries catching fire and...

I'm near Amsterdam. In fact November suits me fine.

The Dutch brochure says this for the Instyle: "Dual-zone climate control met elektrische verwarming en standkachel functie" which I understand to mean it has both electrical heating and the parking-heating system . No indication of whether the "standkachel functie" (parking heating), is...
