2019 OUTLANDER PHEV FAQ

At home, you can charge Outlander PHEV using a standard 120V household outlet (level 1 charging), or a professionally installed 240V charging station (level 2 charging).

When you’re on the go, you can power up at a 240V public charging station (level 2), or at any DC Fast Charging station.

It takes less than 8 hours to fully charge the Outlander PHEV with Level 1 charging through a standard 120V outlet, and less than 4 hours with a dedicated Level 2 charger. DC Fast Charging charges the battery up to 80% capacity in about 25 minutes.

Level 1 and 2 charging uses the left electric charge port on Outlander PHEV. Level 1 uses 120V, while Level 2 uses 240V to cut the charge time in half. DC Fast Charging uses a gas pump-sized charger at stations for a quick boost of up to 80% charge in 25 minutes.

Level 1 and Level 2 charging require use of a dedicated charger to ensure safe charging of the Outlander PHEV.

Outlander PHEV can use Level 1 and 2 charging plus DC Fast Charging. Level 1 and 2 charging is standardized, but DC Fast Charge varies from each charging station. Outlander PHEV is only compatible with charging stations for DC Fast Charge.

Mitsubishi recommends charging your Outlander PHEV as needed to maximize the efficiency and power of the electric battery and eco-efficiency feature.

No, standard 120V household power outlets can charge Outlander PHEV to full capacity in less than 8 hours. A professionally-installed 240V at-home charging station, however, can reduce charging times by half. And in certain states, energy companies may even provide discounts to homes with a level 2 charging station.

The Outlander PHEV can travel up to 22 miles in pure EV mode. Range, however, can vary depending on usage or situations. For example, higher speeds and frequent breaking may reduce range, while driving in Eco mode and using regenerative breaking to help charge the battery may increase it.

Outlander PHEV’s standard S-AWC system was specially developed for its unique, separately mounted Twin Electric Motor configuration. By optimally managing AYC (Active Yaw Control), ABD (Anti-lock Braking System) and ASC (Active Stability Control) with TCL (Traction Control Logic), the integrated PHEV system maximizes performance, efficiency, and safety. For enhanced traction and stability, press the 4WD LOCK button and the system will optimally distribute torque to all four wheels.

The PHEV system utilizes a high-capacity 12kWh lithium-ion main drive battery developed specifically for Outlander PHEV. It provides power directly to the front and rear motors for electric driving. It also powers the two AC outlets on GT models, for a combined 1500 watts.

Yes, Outlander PHEV needs gas, but it first derives power from its 12kW-h rechargeable main drive battery.

Outlander PHEV uses a highly efficient 2.0L gas engine, combined with two high-performance electric motors. This produces an amount of power similar to what’s available with the current Outlander’s V6 engine, and gives you the freedom to pursue all types of adventures.

The high-performance generator transforms engine power into electricity to recharge the drive battery and assist the motors when needed.

The Outlander PHEV can tow up to 1,500 lbs with the towing package.

Outlander PHEV has 66.6 cubic feet of cargo space, and the rear seats can be folded down to make room for any extras you may want to bring along.

Outlander PHEV has three drive modes: EV mode, Series Hybrid mode, and Parallel Hybrid mode. In EV mode, the electric motors power the vehicle using electricity from the battery. Series Hybrid mode uses electric power with engine assistance when you need it, such as when entering the freeway or going uphill. In Parallel Hybrid Mode, the engine powers the vehicle with assistance from the electric motors when extra power is needed. Excess energy can also charge the battery while driving.

Outlander PHEV will automatically use the optimal drive mode for the way you’re driving. EV mode, with its all-electric performance, is enabled when driving in residential areas or at low speeds. You can select all-electric mode with the EV switch for zero fuel consumption and a quiet ride without engine noise. If needed, the gas engine will kick-in to provide more power.

Yes, the driver selected modes of Battery Save mode, Battery Charge mode and EV Priority mode enable you to choose your preferred power source for driving with the Outlander PHEV.

Battery Save mode forces the engine to turn on, stopping the use of the main drive battery. It is best used for the highway, where gasoline is most efficient.

Battery Charge mode forces the engine to charge the lithium-ion battery pack up to 80 percent capacity, in approximately 40 minutes.

EV Priority mode uses power solely from the main drive battery for all-electric driving via the Twin Motor S-AWC.

Yes, you can install the Mitsubishi Remote Control on your smartphone to access Outlander PHEV functions. The app allows you to schedule charging times, pre-heat or cool-down the cabin for a comfortable drive, and more — all from your phone!
