That's correct - electric handbrake. It seems then that Mitsubishi are not so good at supporting older versions of their App/in-car software as you've said. Maybe when they bring out "Remote App III" for the MY2019 I'll have the same problem as you !! :D Rich

I have recently upgraded to Oreo (Android V8) running on a Samsung S7 with Remote Ctrl App Version 2 and this works fine. I normally check my wifi is on and start the connection to the car first and then click to start the App. This ensures I'm connecting to the correct network as the App is...

It is worth noting that on newer models (mine is MY2017) there is a button on the side of the remote (circle with clock) which overrides all timers and will start charging immediately. I believe you need all doors closed as this also locks the car when it starts the charge. I use this for any...

In the Android Auto settings you can setup so that wifi is turned off if connected via USB to the car. This ensure you have mobile data available for maps, etc. Once you disconnect from the usb, your phone wifi will turn back on (assuming it was on when you connected). Rich ** Sorry correction...

Charge points in lamp posts...the next big thing for EVs :D https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44759150 Rich

I can confirm I'm looking at the MMCS page for the charge measurement. The main dash (above steering wheel) on the 2017 does not show a scale on the power meter. The top section is ECO/Power and when the needle drops it goes into the charge section but neither has a scale. I don't have...

I have the MY2017 version. The scale goes up to 60 kw, with half way being 30 kw. I believe this can be set in the MMCS, certainly the scale for how much cumulative regen can be changed between 3/6/12kw for the journey. I descend down a step hill for approx 1 mile, starting at around 30 mph. I...

Sorry re-read the last page. It looks like Anko already confirmed that would be the case. Rich

I am reading this thread with interest, it is very informative. You guys have obviously done a lot of research. I make a trip around once a week which involves a steep downhill section of around one mile. I normally paddle up to D5 and then still need to apply the brakes at a couple of bends...

ThudnBlundr, do you pay Council tax to Leeds or another local authority? I suspect they probably do have a list of authorized postcodes but you never know. It is very quick and free to apply online, they can only say no!! Rich

I thought I'd post this after being inspired by another thread on here. If you drive a PHEV/EV and have a Leeds postcode you can apply for an Ultra low emissions vehicle permit. This means you can then park in any council car park or on-street meter parking in Leeds for free. The permit is...

I would think home charging will continue to be the most convenient, cheapest and reliable source of energy for most of us. As you've said there are issues with some types of housing that make this impractical but they don't seem impossible to overcome. Given that the average trip length in...

At the risk of talking to myself!! I was just thinking that they have a lot of the infrastructure in terms of garage sites so their cost and speed to roll out should be dramatically reduced vs new start-ups. I don't think they would accept the current levels of downtime and time to fix either...

I had the same issue last night on a 2017 Juro model. I think only the center console went blank, I did not notice any other display dimming. I had my phone connected using Android Auto so I wasn't sure if that had crashed and caused the reset. The pop sound was similar to headphones being...
