Hi,
I've ordered myself an Outlander Phev Dynamic which is due collecting at the start of July. As I'm in the UK it unfortunately isn't the 2022 model.
There's just one thing i would love to know more about and thats the B0 to B5 settings. Does this function keep the EV battery charged or is it more so to allow eg air conditioning, heated seats to operate without draining too much from the battery.?
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere and thank you in advance for any information given

Welcome to the forum @Ian16! The B0 - B5 settings help keep the EV battery charged to get as much range as possible. Is this your first hybrid vehicle?

The B settings control regeneration force. Higher the number, the harder the force. In B5 you hardly need to touch the brake pedal the force is so strong.
