I did mine on my drive and it was about 7 hours but I did have a lot of interruptions from kids (dad, can you do.....) and from locals passing, stopping and chatting (a bit of an occupational hazard as I work in the village too). I think it would have been quicker if I hadn’t read the...

Thanks for the thoughts Mr Pastry, I’m leaning towards a flange bar to put a bumper protector behind it. Box and single horse should be well within PHEV capability (1250kg in total), I won’t be towing it with two though! I will have a look out for a witter .

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I am looking at buying and self installing a towbar and wondered what the thoughts are for the best options out there. I don’t want to cut the bumper, I know that much, and did think a removable unit would be best but I have to wonder if we would ever remove...

Ahhhhh, I see.

Where are you maby. Perhaps we could swap! :lol:

Exactly the same for me and I've had no response from either EV charging centre or Chargemaster!

Sorry, no, I'm afraid not. As was mentioned in the previous post, the PHEV cannot make use of the additional power from a 7kw charge, so the only benefit is possible future proofing. The PHEV can rapid charge using the second charge point and the Phase 3 rapid chargers from the likes of...

We'll I'm still waiting to get mine finalised so it looks like I will be using an outdoor 13 amp socket and the standard charger having had problems with pod point, british gas, chargemaster and then EV charging centre. I genuinely didn't think it would be this difficult :shock:

Well, after some more phone calls to EV charging centre I spoke to a call centre manager earlier in the week and he confirmed that 'human error' meant that my installation was not added to the job sheet for the contractor last week. I accepted that (with good grace as we all make mistakes) and...

There are a fair number of people buying this car and coming from the 'premium' German brands. I wonder if Mitsubishi saw that coming! I bet the motoring press didn't, though I appreciate a lot is to do with the company car benefit advantages.

I've been on the phone to them today and it is a company in Nottingham called EV charging centre (evchargingcentre.com) that is supposed to deal with the chargemaster installs. I spoke to a lady called Vicky who I believe was the same lady that I spoke to before as she said she had some...

Hi Chris, being a small business owner myself in a business that is often derided (I will say no more!) I feel your pain for being 'tarred with the same brush' as the bigger operators (apologies for that inference it was just the name was similar but I cant remember it as I didn't think i would...

Sounds great Chris but since I can't get people to call me back or, it seems, turn up as arranged (Chargemaster installer due to come tonite but didn't turn up & no call to say why-could that have been EV charging solutions?) I'm wondering what I need to do to get one of these mythical charge...

Don't forget the 4 will have a higher residual value in years to come. Not an issue if you plan to keep it forever, but the £600pa will be less by the time you consider residual value of a future trade in or sale.

I thought I would share this with everyone as I thought it might bring a smile. I've struggled to get a charge point installed, I first contacted pod point as there is a local installer that put me on to them. He gave me the forms he had and I filled them in scanned them and sent them back...

It was a Nottingham number that I was dealing with and I'm in Oxford, so probably it's the same central office number.

The car will automatically run the engine to prevent stale fuel in the tank. IIRC it will run the ICE unless you add 20 litres of fuel over the course of 6 months and it will continue to do that until you do add 20 litres of fuel.

Holidayed there myself a few times, good to know my car is having a nice summer break! more than i managed!!! :D :D

Just found this online. Pretty good for info and concept, though not really saying anything we don't know. http://www.mitsubishi-outlander-phev.com/Documents/EN/01.Outlander%20PHEV_E.pdf

Does Oxford count?
