FAQ about Plug-In Hybrids with the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV
Hi everyone so I’m here with the brand new 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid at Bramton Mitsubishi Ontario’s number one volume dealership by the way uh and we’re going to be taking a look at uh what makes this the bestselling plug-in hybrid SUV in Canada so this is
The 2024 model this is on the brand new body design for the Mitsubishi Outlander this going to have two electric motors plus the gas engine so what this car is going to be able to do is act as a full electric with a large capacity battery which allow you to drive the vehicle
Upwards to 80 km an hour when the weather’s nice and beautiful like it is today in the Colder Weather come the winter time you will see a little bit drop in range and around the 60 km range so obviously with every Mitsubishi vehicle you’re going to have this
Dynamic shield design so again it’s flanked by these two beautiful Chrome pieces and we have it finished here in our titanium gray this one being our top trim level the GT we’re going to be able to show you off all the little quirks and features of this car so this is an
Alltime all-wheel drive so this has both an electric motor in the front of the car and in the back for both rear uh both wheels so in this case even when it’s cold out if you don’t have the gas engine on you’re still going to have that all-wheel drive capability that
Mitsubishi is well known for with our super all-wheel control this car is obviously finished in our beautiful 20-in alloy wheels again available both on the plug-in hybrid and on the gas model now you might be thinking well Sergio I’ve seen this car around before you’re right this is exactly what the
Gas Outlander looks like and the idea was is Mitsubishi made the vehicle look essentially just like the gas model so there’s no real discernable difference between the two other than a few badges around the car and the fact that it doesn’t make any noise whatsoever this is standard now as a
Seven passenger vehicle so just like the gas Outlander it finally joins it and having three rows of uh seating obviously see with the GT trim you got a plethora of features in it like Safety Systems like blind spot monitoring and all the Advanced Driver AIDs that way obviously beautiful
Panoramic roof electric trunk now there are some questions that people have regarding hybrids or plug-in hybrids or electric vehicles for that matter so we’re going to touch on a few of them now uh so when it comes to this kind of vehicle a lot of people’s concerned is
Well what happens when the battery dies do I have to do anything the answer is no this car is fully automatic which means that there’s nothing have to do the car is smart enough to be able to turn on the gas engine the moment that you need it so that first initial drive
Your local driving going to the store going to work going to your everyday normal things that electric range that you have will be able to cover you but if you want to go on a longer distance Journey you have that 2.4 L gas engine to help as a generator to make more
Electricity if you need to or to rely on the gas engine help move you as well so there’s nothing that you need to do to automatically uh uh kick in the gas engine it’s all there working in the background seamlessly for you so another question we usually get here regarding
The plug-in hybrid Outlander is what kind of speed can I go just using all the electric is there enough power to kind of go around or is it really just City use it’s a great question so because this car has two pretty powerful electric motors both front and rear the
Gas engine doesn’t have to come in to help at all until about 130 km an hour now most hybrid vehicles where other hies that are just regular hybrids usually their hybrid system or the electric motor doesn’t do anything after around 60 or 70 km an hour so if you’re
Getting into one of those or considering one of them and you do a little bit higher speeds or a little bit more highway driving the hybrid isn’t doing anything for you and you’re running that vehicle just on Street gas whereas the plug-in hybrid again with that much stronger electric motor you’re going to
Be able to go to about 130 km an hour just on the electric only no gas assistance another question people have is how do I charge it this is a plug-in hybrid SUV so that means I have to plug it in somewhere well good news again Mitsubishi has you covered so this is
The only plug-in hybrid SUV on the market that has all three levels of charging there’s level one level two and level three pretty straightforward your level one charging is what comes standard with every Mitsubishi Outlander plug-in hybrid that’s going to fit a regular wall plug that you have at home
A regular 110 volt car comes with the cable you plug it in and Away you go once you go to the level two charger those are the common Chargers that you find locally things at your grocery store the shopping center um City Hall places like that that have any kind of
Charging infrastructure this car will be able to plug into it now unique to the plug-in hybrid Outlander is that you can get level three charging typically that’s reserved for only the full electrics and that allows you the fastest charging speed possible so on this vehicle particularly you can go
From 0% to 80% battery and a roughly 30 minutes which is very very quick considering the size of the battery now a question might come up well are all the chargers the same technically yes all the Chargers are exactly the same every manufacturer now is agreed to use the same plug
Except for the Teslas the Teslas have their own unique plug but every other vehicle whether it’s all electric or a plug-in hybrid we all use the same connector that’s something that you can install yourself at home there are lots of different companies that you’re able
To add those types of uh charg to your home and all it’ll do is it’ll increase uh the charging speed which means it decreases the charging time so another question that people have regarding the plug-in hybrid is well I have to plug it in is it going to cost me much more the
Good news is is this has a a charge timer on so you can tell the car when and when you don’t want it to charge now obviously we all have Smart Meters in Ontario and you get charge different rates depending on the time of day ideally it’s best to charge it overnight
When the electricity is the cheapest now because it’s only a 20 k K hour battery you’re only using about 18 KW and again the average price is around 79 per Kow so you’re looking at less than $2 to charge this thing up fully to get you that full range other common
Misconceptions with it is that it’s much more expensive it’s more costly to repair the battery so yes Battery Technology is expensive but remember that you’re getting the longest warranty in the business with Mitsubishi products just like before and on every Mitsubishi vehicle you have that standard 10-year powertrain warranty with the plug-in
Hybrid it’s no different you get the same 10-year powertrain warranty that covers that gas engine but it also includes both electric motors front and rear and it includes that large Drive battery underneath so if you ever have any concerns of gosh that battery sounds very expensive I’ve seen some other
Videos and some Horror Stories the batteries are very expensive you’re not wrong the batteries are expensive but you have the longest warranty in the business to make sure that should anything go wrong we have your back just like we always have other than that this is a pretty
