    2016 37k Miles Battery Health

    Elm, thank you for taking the time to give a clear view on options to extend range. I'm on the fence on the BMU reset, if it were easier I suspect I'd have done it. I know there is alot written on the subject but what is the easiest way to try to reset the BMU pls?

    2016 37k Miles Battery Health

    Really good points Mr Dwarf, thanks for your input. I find the technology at my very basic level really interesting. I've enjoyed owning the PHEV and the change its had to my driving style, getting very tempted by the Kona

    2016 37k Miles Battery Health

    Interesting JAAPV, is that the same principle as "useable battery" where I understand only 75% of the PHEVs batter is usable, versus about 90% of the Leaf? Does this imply the Leaf's battery is better quality and could it be that degredation occurs slower on the Lefa battery as a result? All...

    Stolen Charger

    I worry they'll just rip the "petrol" cap off with the cable! I planned to padlock mine to a u bolt on the wall at home but haven't got round to it

    2016 37k Miles Battery Health

    If it helps, I bought a late 2015 about this time last year and it had 85% so I feel like it's reasonable to have 88%. You will get slightly better mileage on EV as you get used to it but unfortunately 20 miles range isn't unreasonable this time of year. I'd say preserve the battery as best...

    Unwanted/needed engine start

    Just a tad dismissive there little scrote! :) I'm going to throw out some solidarity here as I too get irritated when ICE kicks in when I feel it isn't needed. I'm not experiencing the problems OP is, just instances where I turn the heat up too much etc. I also have concerns about the impact...

    Electric shock when charging?

    Anyone able to comment on IF this shock is coming from the drive battery whether the OP would be alive to be commenting about it on this forum? :) Maybe a wiire from the 12V starter battery is exposed, touching the frame and causing the shock?...not sure if you can tell but my username isnt...

    North city are a Mitsubishi dealer right? Not sure about others but I got quoted £640 from memory for my 60k mile service from Maidenhead, same with Winchester It's about 1/3rd of the price with my local non-mitsubishi dealer who I've always found amazing. No brainer for me, they're not...
