Re: Outlander PHEV BMU update/loss of range /kermit

If you contact Andreas Kirch from Qld who did the tube series on this, he will give you a definite answer. He's a nice guy, however he's now sold his PHEV and moved on to a Tesla. If you can't contact him, send me a PM and I'll put you in touch.

Did you run Canion prior to running EvBatMon? You can only connect 1 App to your OBD, so try restarting your phone and then running EvBatMon first, incase Canion is blocking access to the OBD.

However, if you have had EvBatMon working with your iMiEV before, the reason for it (and Canion) not to work now will p...

Re: Outlander PHEV cycles between ICE and battery

see no benefit for this and some downside. Downside is poorer fuel consumption due to energy loss in generation "Normal mode" means running down the battery and then using the ICE. Driving over different gradients involves different energy requirements, and the PHEV in parallel mode has a...

Just wondering if there has been any more success in 2021.

Re: PHEV Loss of Km Range with Battery.

But, the average life expectancy of most cars is close to 20 years and even then the fuel consumption and features should be close to new. If the Outlander PHEV only has a useful life of 5 years an a PHEV and then becomes just a HEV the extra weight of he battery now increases fuel consumption. It ...

We had our 2014 Outlander for 5 years.

Questions: To preserve the battery long term, can the Outlander be set to stop charging at 80 or 90%? No, however there are top and bottom SOC buffers built into the battery charging to supposedly make this unnecessary. Has the battery changed from 12 to 13.8kWh at the same time as the 2.0 to 2.4L ...
