The point was more about how an alternate manufacture treats their customer in relation to battery life and replacement.

From what I can gather reading the numerous complains on various forums, the reduction in battery capacity seems uniform across the traction battery pack. The majority of the taxi's these days in Australia are Toyota Prius, Hybrid Corolla, or Hybrid Camry. In chatting to the drivers, they...

This is probably a bit late for the OP ... I too live in Brisbane, Australia. I had an Outlander PHEV from 2014 to 2017 under an operating lease. I declined the option to purchase the car at the end of the lease and I returned it back to the leasing company. In the three years I had the...

The three year lease on my PHEV concludes this week, so I am getting the vehicle ready for hand back. I want to delete my travel history from the maps and phone contacts for privacy reasons. I have done a system reset on the entertainment unit, a reset on the dashboard menu, and unpaired all...

The A/C in my PHEV gets very cold. So cold that I often have to run it at 25C and/or turn it into economy mode. I would have to say that across the ten or so new cars I have owned in the last 20 years, the PHEV has the best A/C of the lot. And this is not in a mild climate like the UK. This...

I should add that as of the 21 May 2017 the vehicle has done 37007 km and used 1026 litres of fuel.

I took part in some research with the local electricity utility on PHEV electricity usage and off-peak tariffs. The utility installed a dedicated digital kWh meter that recorded information in one minute increments (kW, kVar, volts, and amps). The meter was installed on 9 September 2014. As...

Thanks for that ian4x4. Much clearer now.

I am trying to figure out the various "full power" modes available to the PHEV. Are the following statements correct? 1. Pure EV - 60kW max (battery limit) 2. Series mode - 120kW max (limit of electric motor front and rear limit) 3. Parallel mode - 147kW max (petrol motor front and electric...

Thanks for info on the process to follow. Just to be clear, I am an electrician and the electricity meter that I am using to capturing charging data on my side of the socket is an EDMI Atlas Mk7C (the same one as used by electricity utilities). The distance of the daily commute is such that it...

I have had an Outlander PHEV for over a year and it has done just over 14,000km. It is a great vehicle and I love it. It used daily to drive to and from work, plus a few long country trips. The PHEV is connected to a dedicated power circuit that has a utility grade meter for capturing...
