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 one-minute interval data. When the PHEV was new, it was taking on board 10kWh of charge when flat. Of late, the PHEV has been arriving at home with the petrol engine running (due to an empty battery) and only being taking on board 9kWh of charge each evening. I appreciate that battery capacity will decline over time, but this seems to be somewhat excessive. Do any other owners have a similar experience?
