Hello everyone!
I'm a newbie kn the ev world but a few days ago a friend gave my his outlander PHEV for a test drive and I am completely in love with the idea of having one
For what I've seen and my budget I can stretch to 2013 models with 60 to 80 k kmts at around 25000 nzd
With that in mind my daily commute is 26 kmts with a few hills but nothing major so in theory i should be able to do it always 100% EV?
I've read that Mitsubishi UK offers 8 years warranty or 100000 miles (1600000 kmts) so, doing some math if I buy a 60000 kmts and do another 100000 kmts I would just reach what's on warranty (of course the 8 years would be already long expired)
100000 kmts in my current car is 10000 lts at 2,4 dls per litter would save me around 24000 nzd wich is mostly what I'm paying for the car
Now comes the questions:
1) until how many kmts is the battery reliable? I don't mind loosing a few kmts range with battery degradation but does it get so bad to the point that the car won't run anymore with an exhausted battery or in worst case will still work as a normal hybrid with small battery like a Prius?
2) how many more services are needed after the 60k mark and how much do they cost?
3) is there any REALLY good improvement in newer models? I could expend a bit more if there anything significantly better
4) where do I get the watchdog Hardware? Is it easy to connect that no owner should say no to do it before buying?
Any other help or suggestion is warmly welcome
Cheers!
