newbie question, just bought my first outlander GX4 PHEV AUTO , and i have a charging quetion, when i am driving and put the car in charging mode by pressing the charging switch , on the dash it shows what milage i can expect to get correct? but this only goes up to 14 miles when the battery indicacator showes full, i was told i should be able to get up to 30 miles on a full charge how do sort this out please?

 

How old is your PHEV?

 

it is a 2014

 

If its 8 years old then I would be thinking along the lines that the batteries are coming to the end of their life, or at least hallway through their life. The only way to get the stated 30 mileage out of the PHEV would be to get a new battery pack installed.

 

Exactly

 

thank you for your replies, where can i get this done and how much will a new battery pack cost ?

 

Probably have to go to a Mitsi dealer for that and I suspect it wont be a cheap item to replace.

 

Not sure about europe prices but here in Australia they are around $8-9000 AU. So yeah, not cheap

 

Dibby Dibby......I think you just gave BigMac a heart attack with that $8-9k figure, as he has not replied back.
BigMac.....what do you think? I tend to think that you should just keep with the batteries you have, use it as-is a couple more years, then decide what to do.

 

sorry for late reply, just ben have a pacemaker installed after Dibby Dibby's responce , i think i will carry on with original batteries as 1960StudebakerHawk has suggested
