I was going to visit the security show at Olympia, but someone has gone on holiday, so instead I'm doing phone support. During the day, I saw bits of the video so many times on BBC news 24, but I didn't link the timing of this to the timing of the show. I guess lots of their potential customers...

I don't see any vehicle that can do everything, specially for everybody all the time. For me, the choice of the Phev was because it ticket more of the boxes than any other car (fossil or Ev) at the time If the tesla 3 had been available it would have ticked a few more. And missed on some...

When I stopped at the services today, both rapids were already in use by an old and new Outlander. While waiting for one of them to finish, I had a little chat with the "knowledgeable" driver of one. I said that as well as the little odds and sods that got changed on the 2016 model, Mitsubishi...

My Andriod app says it is now 1.4.0 I'm sure it used to say 1.3.soemthing, I dont' remember that updating. A couple of days ago it said there was an update for the car, but I said "do it later" I did it this morning. It was a bit worrying when it got to around 70% ish and my phone received an...

one of the things that non EV drivers say is "what about when the batteries need replacing?" my company is making the payments to purchase the GX4 which I currently have as a company car, one day, once the finance is paid off, I'm planning on buying the car from the company, and running it...

I've had my gx4 for 5 months I charge at home on cheap rate night electric I do a regular commute to an office 15 miles away, where I park for the day, no charging facilities, then 15 miles home to begin with, most days I did it all electric and still have 2 or 3 miles of range remaining...

Hi 4 months ago, I got my GX4h as a company car, I had to do all the research and paperwork, I'm doing a salary sacrifice, so I wanted it as cheap as possible. the Mitsubishi web site sent my details to the 2 nearest dealers, who were quoting me the RRP, less the £5k olev discount I filled...

I read some of the manual when I first got the car. Mine might get the odd day or two when it isn't used, or may be a week, so I didn't worry about the long term non use bit. I thought the manual said the 2pm top up of the 12V battery was only if it wasn't used that day. And if it didn't get...

I was ok with the 13amp socket in the garage, and dangling the plug back over the fence, but since the government are paying most of the cost (at the moment) I went for a 32amp type 2. I'm hoping the phev will last 10 years. When the other half's Honda dies it will probably be replaced with...

I know what you mean .. When I first got the car and paired my phone, it worked fine. then I did a family outing with the kiddies, and I let my daughter pair her phone, so that she and the kiddies could listen to her music, which worked fine on the day. now, when I push the voice control...

On the road that I live, someone at the bottom of the hill was first with a White PHEV. I was the 2nd, I went for Grey. There is usually a Black one at the top of the road. Earlier in the month I saw a different white one, and a blue one for quite a few days. When we are out, my son used to...

sounds like a lot of money to spend on developing a new technology, when there is an existing method that already works fine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantograph_%28transport%29 :lol:

It's the same chicken and egg as public EV charging stations, and what sort of connector should it be. If there were enough roads that had it, in enough Countries around the world, to make it worth the manufactures makign it an option to fit on the cars, so that we picked the option, then it...

Such a simple questions, but there is no simple answer. or rather as a PAYE employee in the UK, the answer is (probably) "NO" in my case, I am the employee, and I am also the main decision maker at the employeer, and my business address is also my home address. so I have the ability to ...

I've tried doing trips with, and without, to see if I can notice any difference. Usually the return leg, in the hope that there might be enough range to get back home on battery. Without proper measurement, I haven't really noticed any difference so far. The only time I do notice, is when I'm in...
