Yep we noticed the build up early on with our PHEV.. good to know about the HVAC circulation thing... Its the same with any car i've had its just that this PHEV does'nt have an obvious recirculation button to flick, so just means your building up humidity from your breath with each journey...
Hmm.. :unsure: I actually wrote to pod point (email) to get them to correct this info some months ago as I too found it confusing when my car would only charge at 3.6kwhrs... Glad they took notice then...:sneaky:
Yep I think that's the point with PHEVS they're not so eco on longer journeys albeit the comfort level is amazing.... My old cactus would achieve 55mpg if I didn't push it.. but the ride was never something I wanted to do a lot of in it..
In my PHEV local journeying (which is 90% of what we...
For anyone wondering about Long journey HS PHEV Fuel economy....
Had a long trip (mostly motorway and dual carriageway) this week around each way 208 miles
Outbound
Took it slow as wanted to see how careful driving would make a difference.
Journey took 5 1/2 hours (mix of careful speed and...
Spoke to support (answered quick and v helpful) seems its a known issue with a recent update.. although the app shows the car stuck on 'preparing' it does actually charge as per set schedule. Tested and it did work.

when you wrote 7kw did you really mean 3.5kw... if its only drawing 3.5 kw the 7kw capability is a bit of a mute point isn't it? or am I missing something?
I've been pondering upon the idea of using EV mode on my PHEV for local journeys.
Each time I do that I end up having to run to a full (or 80% charge) more often and i'm wondering does that mean i'm going to be putting my battery through more cylces per mile than a full EV?
The answer is...
Ha that happened to me with a Vauxhall Crossland that I'd all but put my signature to, but then my Wife said she couldn't cope with the seats... No such problem with the HS PHEV though thankfully 🙏
Interesting thread...
I'm just in the process of signing up to the Go tariff (already with Octopus)
All energy suppliers have hiked up their pricing.... and when I realised the granny charger is effectively running at the rate of an electric kettle for 4 hours.. I needed to look the same as...
