It does, Oscarmax.
Thanks for that Wigwam, I was looking through the road test report last night the journalist just don’t have the slightest clue as regard how to drive and operate these PHEV.
Our Outlander PHEV if you press the charge mode at speed over 45mph it make absolutely no difference to onboard fuel consumption plus you have the benefit of a free battery charge.
However under 45mph it make a slight reduction in fuel consumption, but you are still adding a battery charge so it all evens out.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
