The main issue with these Outlander PHEVs seems to be that they can't start when they sit outside cold. Reportedly the cutoff is -20C, but people are also saying it varies. And apparently leaving the charger plugged in + block heater for the ICE doesn't help. There are a lot of complaints out there about it.
The "solutions" are to either wait it out or tow into a garage lol.

That's a great tip, thanks I'll try that next. The other thing I'd noticed was that I can almost never manually put the vehicle in EV mode. Keeps saying "EV mode unavailable". Maybe it's because I've always had the HVAC set to 17C lol.
25C seems pretty toasty, but it's worth a shot!

Well, thanks to our snow peso, it was a matter of time.
And wait for all the other manufacturers to follow suit. They all hedge their currencies vs. USD since most parts are priced in USD.

Time to just buy used local or JDM import. I doubt it makes sense to justify ev now with no discounts + higher price and high %

if you have it set to 28c and above, the ICE engine rarely shuts off
theres 2 ev modes, the button is used when your engine is already warm and you press it, only good for parking lots and low speed stuff and the other ev mode is when your cruising below 65km/h and light load and the ICE will turn off and become EV mode

It's been popular in Europe for about a decade now; seems fine if not a bit underpowered on highway.
It supports 60kw DC fast charging so it refills in 30 minutes; compared to RAV4 Prime doing 3kw fast charging for 5 hour refill.

The Macan EV is not selling at all. I was visiting PCV to inquire about the GT3 Touring (400k after taxes WTF) and the sales I know said there's almost no interest in the Macan EV. But there also isn't much advertising of it.
Other than the Taycan, which also isn't selling, Porsche hasn't done much to put their electric offerings on the front page.

only the old farts in HK prefer the Chinese brand EV.
Toyota (gas), Mercedes (gas) and Tesla are still the top choices here.

Canada has a 106.1% tariff on China EV's.
As of October 1, 2024, Canada has a 100% tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs). This tariff applies in addition to the 6.1% Most-Favored Nation (MFN) import tariff
