Replacement rechargeable battery?

I own a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV new March 30th 2015. The battery life is fading, and has reduced from 32 to less than 20 miles in 4 months. Is this a common problem? Should Mitsubishi replace the batteries? My daily mileage is around 20 and local. For the first month I only used petrol on longer journeys.

Might be the way you are using the car. First check out with other owners on the forum at: www.myoutlanderphev.com/ May be that something needs adjusting or reprogramming. May even be your home charging point.
