Here's what battery degradation for 25k per year, fully charging twice a day, and plenty of fast DC charging on road trips looks like.

I had problems at several ChargePoint stations recently. The session will end after about 4 seconds of charging. So I've also had a feeling that something about the Outlander PHEV CHAdeMO protocol isn't quite compliant with the standard.

I've traveled all up and down the west coast of the USA and all the fast DC stations (except Tesla Superchargers) I've visited had one, and only one, CHAdeMO plug. Many time that one plug has been blocked by someone charging with the CCS plug even when there were plenty of other CCS plugs that...

Can you point me at the aftermarket CHAdeMO converters? I've been looking and haven't found anything.

Also looking at the resale value boost of having upgraded the battery and done a conversion.

I've got a <$100 USD adapter that allows me to charge at level 2 destination chargers. What I talking about is a conversation that would allow charging at CCS and (eventually) Tesla fast DC charging stations.

Has anyone done, or even investigated doing, a full on conversation to CCS or NACS (aka Tesla)? I have an older Outlander PHEV (2018 NA) with 115k miles. Tha battery has been abused charging twice a day for most of those miles. I starting to find more charging stations that do not support...

What about a full on conversation to CCS or NACS (aka Tesla)? I have an older Outlander PHEV (2018 NA) with 115k miles. Tha battery has been abused charging twice a day for most of those miles. Rather than a simple OEM battery replacement, has anyone gone to a shop that converts ICE...

I've already picked up a couple yards of S-glass, epoxy resin, and tools to make a temporary repair. If the local truck customization shop wants too much to fabricate a real skid plate, I'll probably layup a couple additional layers of aramid (Kevlar) . The OEM material isn't traditional...

I recently "ran over something" and tore off the aerodynamic cover / belly pan below the engine of my 2018 Outlander PHEV GT (North America). Images below. It seems to be made from sort of compresses glass fiber mat (with little or resin to hold it together). Glass filled paper pulp? :? I...

I've got a 2018 GT Installed the front plate by screwing into the front bumper with a pair of #10x1/2" self tapping screws. @generaltso -- Thanks for the hint on the index dimples.

@jdsx - Can you please provide a link to the specific product you're talking about?

jaapv -- Thanks for the info. And I understand about the upper and lower charge limits (cell voltages) to protect the longevity of the batteries. (Like I said I'm an engineer with experienced with power electronics and automated control systems.) But what I'm really looking for more on what the...

I'm looking to buy an Outlander PHEV this summer and will probably also buy a plug-in JuiceBox Pro 32 (mostly for getting a full charge for my commute home while I'm at work). Does anyone have experience charging while camping? Good, bad, ugly? In the US, newer campsites with power hookups...
