I’m coming aboard
Hi everyone
just thought I would post and say I am coming aboard with a 2017 hybrid. I’m new to these so this thread has been very helpful. The car we bought has only 53,000 kms and well optioned. Only missing the onboard fast charger hopefully some here can give me guidance if I want something faster.
I should have it by next week. Here’s the options.

The onboard charger is what determines how much power the car will accept. It's either the stock 3,6kW or optional 7,2kW. No way to make it charge faster than that, even if you have wall charger capable of giving 22 kW, you still only charge with limit of the onboard charger. The charger is literally part of the car, not the charging cable.
Charging times:
3,6 kW ~3h
7,2kW ~1,5h

Thanks Umber, I appreciate the info. The 220v plug for the universal charger was still wrapped up and in the back, I don’t think it was ever used. It looks like the previous owner just charged it on 110v. I want the option for a bit faster charging than 110v and I already have 220v to the garage so I will be adding a 220v outlet.

Recently I got into running the numbers to see how much I save when using electricity vs gas. I live in one of the most expensive states for electricity, so unfortunately the savings aren't as big as I had hoped (maybe 30% cheaper). I would suggest anyone looking to do a pricey 240V install (or even considering buying a plugin hybrid), they run the numbers and make sure its worth it (of course, if installing the 240v for future proofing, its probably better to just bite the bullet and do it).

Given the short e range in the 2017, I found a 240V charging set up key so that I could run errands just hours apart on electric instead of having to wait the 10-12hrs to recharge when 110V charging. I was lucky that I was able to run the 240V line myself, saving some money (an electrician wanted $1,000 for a pretty straightforward 14 ft run where the walls for the run were already open due to a renovation). I saw a while back earlier in this thread someone said they were quoted $4,000 for an install. That seems really high but then again, not all jobs are equal in terms of supplies and ease.

Hi All,
It's been awhile since I've checked in here.
I have a 2016 S-E Hybrid that I bought certified used form the dealer loaner fleet when it had 5000 miles.
I've been putting around 15K miles per year and it now has 83,000 miles on the odometer.
I would guess the ICE has about 55,000.
How are the 2016's holding up (2nd gen)?
I love the car (esp the dashboard and console layouts) and am not in a hurry to upgrade other than worry about various failures as age and mileage advance.
Appreciate the thoughts of other owners.
Thanks

1. How does your GL diesel start in -40?
2. Cold kills batteries. I'd think it's pointless to have an electric or hybrid in a place with -40
3. I'd go with v6 or v8 in that weather and I'm kind of a hater of v6 in general. Every v6 I've owned gave me issues. I'm strictly v8 from there.
Where you located, Antarctica?

End of warranty
My 2016 SE Hybrid (bought as dealer demo, certified used) has a 5 year/100K warranty that I just realized expires later this week.
Should I just go unprotected from here on out or is anyone recommending any additional warranty coverage given the complex drivetrain, battery,
etc?
Appreciate any input.

My SE hybrid has been trouble free so far.
I'm typically a fan of self insurance over extended warranty but certain cars (like my early Tesla Model X) are the exception.
higher mileage may also be the exception.
