How often does a hybrid need a battery replacement? At 40,000 kilometers, it currently shows insufficient charge and cannot switch to EV mode.

If you are experiencing an issue with your Mitsubishi Galant where holding the lock button causes the yellow light to come on and the window control buttons become unresponsive, here are a few steps you can try: 1. **Reset the System**: Sometimes, simply turning off the car and restarting it can reset the electronic systems, including the window controls. 2. **Check the Fuses**: Locate the fuse box and check if any of the fuses related to the power windows or central locking system are blown. Replace any blown fuses with the correct type and rating. 3. **Inspect the Battery**: Ensure that your car battery is not low on charge, as insufficient power can cause electronic systems to malfunction. 4. **Consult the Manual**: Refer to your vehicle's owner manual for any specific troubleshooting steps related to the power windows and central locking system. 5. **Visit a Technician**: If none of the above steps work, it might be best to consult a professional mechanic or visit a Mitsubishi service center to diagnose and fix the issue. Please do not attempt to fix any electrical issues if you're not familiar with car electronics, as it might lead to further damage.

How's the range efficiency of this car? Is the charging really as fast as advertised? Are there any issues with driving it currently? I'm a blue plate Model S owner, and I'm considering switching to either the Model X or the Eletre. The Eletre does appeal to me a lot, but Tesla is still the leader in electric cars with its stable products (despite some minor build quality issues, but no problems while driving). Can any owners share some insights or pitfalls?

Does your car battery often run out of charge?

Here’s the situation: I just replaced the battery, but it's dead again. After starting the car, after a while, it reports a battery charging fault. Then the ABS and airbag lights also come on. When idling in place, after a while, the car will automatically shut off. When driving, it feels like it doesn't shift gears automatically, and I can't switch to manual mode either. Vehicle: Peugeot 207 1.6 Automatic. The battery wasn't great initially, and I didn't pay much attention to it, usually jump-starting the car. A few days ago, I replaced the battery. First, during driving, it started showing a battery charging fault. After a while, the ABS light came on, then the airbag light lit up as well. It's like a parade of warning lights. Now I'm wondering if it's worth repairing. What could be the issues?

I currently drive an eight-year-old Nissan Sunny 1.5 with a fuel consumption of 6.5 L/100km and have driven 50,000 km. I have a parking space at home where I can install a charging station, and I don't drive much on highways. Is it necessary to switch to an electric car? My main considerations are saving money and having shelter from the elements. I don't drive the petrol car much because I don't need to and the fuel is expensive, so I prefer using an electric bike. It would be different if I switch to an electric car, right? What car would you recommend?

Is there anything other than a battery issue that could cause the auto start-stop to show the battery not fully charged on a three-year-old car?

Hi everyone, I've been having issues with my Hongqi H7 where the side mirrors often don't fold when I lock the car and the seat adjustment occasionally fails too. I noticed these problems tend to occur together. I had the wiring checked and charged the battery, which fixed it for a while, but then it started happening again. I thought it might be the battery losing charge, so I replaced it. It was fine at first, but then the problems came back. The mirrors fold manually without any issues inside the car; it's just when I lock the car that they don't fold, and the seat adjustment also fails!

Has any owner of the 3-motor version of the XP noticed a 4% drop in battery health after six months? I personally feel that I've taken good care of the battery, usually charging between 50% to 80% (slow charging), rarely using fast charging, and charging to 100% no more than five times. When not in use, I keep it plugged in and haven't driven aggressively or used the straight-line speed mode. Despite this, the battery health has still dropped by 4% in six months. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

When will the hybrid version be available? I've seen many people saying the current range is poor. If it doesn't come out soon, I might have to switch to something else.
