Hi folks, Just want to share my thoughts on my new Model Y compared to my PHEV 2019 which I still own. It might help others if you are considering what's it like to make that first leap to a full EV. But first why a full EV and why a Tesla Model Y for my family? I have always considered the...

Hi fellow Phevers, As can be seen here : https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiXxvKP9LH0AhU2kmYCHeDpAh4YABAAGgJzbQ&ae=2&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAASE-RoJt1VEtvW4z7s0XNE3IMUvkc&sig=AOD64_3Kot1dmdwZXrGrdTLNCgTSDdRHMw&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwjB2eqP9LH0AhU6SmwGHXKHA5oQ0Qx6BAgDEAE...

Hi Folks, Just a quick birthday review of my PHEVs. Now for people that do not know me I own 2 PHEVs. I bought one of the first PHEVs that were available for sale when released locally here in Australia in early April 2014 and bought another new one in April 2018. So from me Happy 5th...

Hi folks, I have seen some differing opinions about how you enter EV priority mode in the newer PHEVs. From having 10 sec to press the EV button while being in Ready mode to stop the petrol motor starting in cold weather to pressing the Ev priority mode button and power switch at the same time...

Now as the title says Evbatmon and Phev watchdog is showing the wrong SOH amount. Now that is IMHO. Why do I think this? Well lets get some history on how they are working it out first. I will bring in a quote from anko from another thread that I started: Now as anko states both are using 38...

Seen this online. From Green Car Congress: "The engine is a 2.4L gasoline unit designed for the PHEV system. In series hybrid mode, the engine acts as a high-output generator and achieves a high regeneration rate, while the larger displacement makes for quieter operation and better fuel...

Hi folks, Been asked by dogman12 this in another topic: Hi dogman12, So we are talking about S-AWC and Regen. Lets deal with S-AWC and what it is which according to Wikipedia: "S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) is the brand name of an advanced full-time four-wheel drive system developed by...

Hi again folks, Now I wrote this in another topic I stated: and ThudnBlundr replied. I hope ThudnBlundr does not mind me quoting him here: To which I replied: So those tests I have done I wish to show in the one thread here. Lets start with my first on Wed Mar 04, 2015 under the title...

Hi folks, Now from reading some of the comments here I get the impression that some think that B0 on the paddles is using no energy from our drive batteries ie B0 = no regen, so no power in or out of the drive (or traction) battery. Now I can see why people would think that because some of our...

Hi again folks, As some would know here I have been communicating (or lately trying to) with MMC Japan. But it has just occurred to me I have not said I am representing a forum of owners of the PHEV, which may help our clout with them , because it would feel too presumptuous of me to say that...

As the PHEV has now been on sale for 6 years (late Jan 2013) when it was first sold to the Japanese market I wish to say. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. :D And I hope you have many more. I think you are giving your best and I would not worry too much about us whingers. ;) You...

Hi folks, Now in May 2015 I discussed this topic over in the Technical section when my 1st PHEV (bought new) was about 1 year old so remember my drive battery was in a better condition than now but I still think the information is relevant. Now some of this is just copied and paste from that...

Hi, So the question is for this topic: Should you get your BMU (Battery Management Unit) recalibrated? I will try to give a simple answer that is IMHO. If you are worried about the capacity or State Of Health (SOH) of your traction battery ie as seen on a app etc I would honestly say yes ie...

Hi folks, In my dealings with Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (been communicating with them for about a year) I have now access to people that deal directly with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in Japan where the engineers that designed and build the PHEV reside. The emails I am getting from...

Hi everyone, Ok, still seeing some people here worried about degradation of the drive battery and I am not just talking about any particular person. Hell even I think about it as I am at the moment dealing with Mitsubishi Australia to hopefully get mine replaced under warranty. But to me its...

As I think it is a interesting topic I wish to discuss Hybrid Electric Vehicles. You never know we all may learn something. I know I love learning. :D Now lets start with a definition of HEVs. Wikipedia states: "A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle that combines a...

Ok folks My New Year's resolution is. You watching? This is important. I will not write serial mode it is series mode. I will not write serial mode it is series mode. I will not write cereal (oops :oops: ) serial mode it is series......... I hope I remember. :? Anyway all the best for the...

Hi folks, As my old degradation thread is now 36 pages :shock: long I will start a new one here as the old one has a lot of out of date information. Now just to catch up of where I am currently with my oldest PHEV's drive battery which my oldest son now drives is we had below 80% SOH (about...

I am sure people have noticed Telsa get mentioned around this forum sometimes. This comparison with the Phev and particularly with the tesla model x which is AWD and a SUV like our Phev is what I wish to discuss. Now firstly from my point of view the model X is nothing but a novelty. For the...

Hi, As some know on here know I hardly ever get to drive the PHEV even though I own 2 of them. Wife and oldest son get to drive them mainly and they love them. Me, well I mainly get to drive a Ford Courier diesel ute for work. This has a manual gearbox, manual windows, 4wd with high and low...
