As some of you know my PHEV was supposed to receive a new drive battery under warranty. Warranty replacement was granted on January 25th. But on March 20th the battery hadn't even shipped from Japan. After waiting for more than two months and with at least two more months of waiting ahead of me...

Guys, I thought it was time for me to go 100% ev, so my Outlander is for sale. New drive battery will be installed in March (factory warranty). https://www.autoscout24.nl/aanbod/-68e2e480-0fa8-2e5a-e053-e350040a8b31?from=ww3.autoscout24.nl

In the Netherlands, capacity is guaranteed to be 65% of 40 Ah = 26.0 Ah for MY14, MY15 and MY16 and 70% of 40 Ah = 28 Ah for MY17 and MY18. Both during 160.000 km / 8 years (whatever comes first). It is clear some countries do better, some do worse. I am aiming to build a list per country...

After a discussion on a FB page, I did some experiments to determine: - Does coasting in B0 consume energy from the battery? - Does the choice of B level remap the throttle? I monitored several parameters and recorded my findings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQeMVTG77OQ&t=165s Please read...

Hi all, This summer we will be visiting Ireland with the PHEV + caravan. We will be taking the 'Land Bridge' (take boat from Hoek van Holland to Harwich, spend one night on the East coast, one night on the West coast and then take boat from Fishgaurd to Rosslare). After spending a few weeks in...

Hi Jaap, I and many others with me have made a mess of this forum in the last few years. Thank you for your efforts to straighten things out, time upon time. BR., Anko

Since a couple of days I have noticed the car pre-heating spontaneously (sometimes in the middle of the night, which I deducted from the graphs from my charging unit). Also, I have 'caught' the little light on the FOB blinking quickly for a while at a few occasions, as if it was warning me for a...

More than once, it has been discussed here (mainly by me ;-) ) that the PHEV is not capable of maintain SOC when towing a decent size caravan. In short, it has to do with the long gear ratio when in parallel hybrid mode. The RPMs associated with caravan speeds are so low that the ICE simply...

Not an issue AT ALL, but yesterday I realised you cannot start or end a phone call using the buttons on the steering wheel when the car in in Reverse. Took me more than 4 years to discover this :mrgreen:

My rear parking sensors do not react to near objects anymore. Instead they beep twice every two seconds from the moment I shift to R. When I shift back to D, P or N, the beeping stops. Any thoughts?

Several times, I have said that (IMHO) the biggest issue with towing a big trailer is how to maintain a decent SOC for when you need it. Cause: in parallel mode the engine can not / will not produce enough power (due to limited RPMs associated with towing speed) to propel the car + trailer and...

Any suggestions on how to open the J1772 (car side) plug on the factory supplied 10 amps charge cable, in such way that it can be properly closed again? Doesn't have to look as new, but should work and be safe ;-) Thanks.

Anybody any experience with one of these two charge boxes? Thanks, Anko

Since a couple of days I havre been using this beautiful plugin for Torque Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pjt.realtimecharts_v1 or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CO1qz7XPvQ&feature=youtu.be Allows you to define and chart 8 different sensors in real time. Zoom in and...

Every once in a while, people have issues with the Ready light not coming on and not being able to move the car. I experienced such issue the last couple of days, and discovered why. Thought it could be helpful to one or two to share. I have a dealer installed after-market alarm system (Cobra)...

There was some discussion back and forth today, regarding the off the line performance of the E-motors. It was said that measurements were no good as long as we could not plot the development of output over time. SO, I spent a little time building a dedicated logger for: - Front motor RPM -...

Picked up a rumour on the Dutch forum that I would like to verify: Is the heater automatically switched off after every trip in an MY16 model? Thanks.

Next time we have a discussion about how much the heater consumes ..... BTW: I've seen higher values, so apparently it is not simply on/off per element.

Since yesterday, I am able to monitor individual wheel speeds. Perhaps interesting for off-roaders? Or people with replacement tyre issues? Below graph shows a red trace for overall speed (maxes out at approx 80 km/h). Other traces are difference between overall speed and speed per individual...
