What is Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid EV?

Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicles are an advancement of traditional hybrid cars, allowing you to charge the electric battery from both an outlet and through regenerative braking. Think of it as having an extra fuel tank that you can fill up at home.

Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid EV
Fully Electric (EV)
Traditional Hybrid

Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid EV

Gives you the best of both EV types, with a battery supplying energy to the electric motors, backed by an engine. The battery is recharged by plugging into a power source, and can also charge via regenerative braking while driving. The engine can also act as a generator to charge the battery while driving, powered by fuel.

Plug-in Hybrid EV Technology

Fully Electric (EV)

A battery supplies energy to an electric motor. The battery is recharged by plugging in to a power source, and can also charge via regenerative braking while driving.

Plug-in Hybrid EV Technology

Traditional Hybrid

Fuel supplies energy to an engine that drives the wheels, accompanied by an electric motor. The electric motor is powered by a battery, which receives charge from the traditional engine and regenerative braking while driing.

Plug into the new standard

Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid EVs combine the best of both Fully Electric and Traditional Hybrid EVs so you have complete confidence on the road and flexibility wherever you go. Range anxiety is now a distant memory.

All of our Plug-in Hybrid EVs use AC Type 2 charging connector (also referred to as Mennekes or IEC 62196), which has been adopted as the industry standard across Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Lightning Fast Charging

Plug-in Hybrid EV Technology

Fast Charge

Quickly recharge your Plug-in Hybrid EV to 80% capacity in as little as 25 to 38 minutes (depending on model) using a DC public charging station.

Plug-in Hybrid EV Technology

Charge Anywhere

Charge at your destination using a dedicated Mode 3 AC charger and supplied Mode 3 cable, or Plug in to any domestic 240V power point using the supplied Mode 2 cable to charge your Plug-in Hybrid EV overnight.

Plug-in Hybrid EV Technology

On-board generator

In addition to plug-in top ups, your Plug-in Hybrid EV can use the on-board petrol generator to charge the battery off-grid while driving and when stationary.

Zero Tailpipe Emissions

Zero tailpipe emissions in EV mode

When driving in EV mode, you can go about your day knowing that you’re not producing any tailpipe emissions on your commute. Pair that with a solar charge system at home for the cleanest, most sustainable way to power your drive.

Plug-in Hybrid EV Technology

Bi-directional charging

Available in the new Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV and the Eclipse Cross Plug-in Hybrid EV

Bi-directional charging is an emerging technology that allows two way sharing of stored energy from an Electric Vehicle on-board drive battery to an external energy consumer via a compatible bi-directional charger.

This technology enables energy sharing applications such as Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Vehicle to Home (V2H).

Mitsubishi Outlander and Eclipse Cross PHEV’s are Bi-directional capable via the CHAdeMO DC charging system, however to utilise this capability an approved Bi-directional charger is required which is sold separately to the vehicle. Currently, Bi-directional Charger manufacturers have not given any set dates for hardware release into the Australian market.

So whilst V2G and V2H have amazing future potential, they are still an evolving technology and their deployment is still very much the domain of pilot and demonstration projects, such as MMAL’s pilot V2G installations at our Australian Head Office in Adelaide

Frequently Asked Questions

How far can I drive my Plug-in Hybrid EV?

The Eclipse Cross Plug-in Hybrid EV has an all-electric range of 54km and the all-new Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV has an all-electric range of 84km.

Both vehicles have the reassurance of a petrol hybrid engine that provides complete confidence for longer trips.

Electric range figures are based on sample vehicle testing in accordance with ADR 81/02. Actual results will vary depending on traffic conditions, vehicle conditions and driving style. Lithium-ion cells degrade over time, and any decrease in battery capacity will reduce range.

Are Plug-in Hybrid EVs good for the environment?

When in all-electric mode, Plug-in Hybrid EVs allow you to drive with zero tailpipe emissions.

Can I use my Plug-in Hybrid EV to power appliances?

The all-new Outlander Plug-in Hybrid EV provides vehicle to load capability, which means it can be used as a mobile battery to power a range of appliances. It has two 220-240V AV sockets with a maximum combined 1500W on-board.

Do Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid EVs offer bi-directional charging?

Mitsubishi PHEV’s are Bi-directional capable via the CHAdeMO DC charging system, however to utilise this capability an approved Bi-directional charger is required which is sold separately to the vehicle. Currently, there are no Bi-directional Chargers available to consumers in Australia, and Bi-directional charger manufacturers have not given any set dates for hardware release for consumers into the Australian market.

When will an approved Bi-directional Charger be available in Australia?

Currently the Wallbox Quasar 1 is the only certified bidirectional charger in Australia – with conditional approval to install and operate only in the state of South Australia. Wallbox have advised that production of the Quasar 1 has been discontinued and is no longer available for consumers purchase.

No other Bi-directional Charger manufacturers have given any set dates for hardware release for consumers into the Australian market.

When will Bi-directional charging applications such as V2G be available in Australia?

On 9 November 2024, Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Chris Bowen, said that an important milestone in the Consumer Energy Roadmap has been achieved – Standards Australia has approved the new standard that will allow vehicle to grid charging in Australia. “The process from now is that those manufacturers that enable vehicle to grid charging and those charging companies that enable it can register their products with the Clean Energy Council and get approval for each particular product”. Minister Bowen added that “we’ll be able to have bi-directional charging a reality by Christmas this year.

How do I charge a Plug-in Hybrid EV?

Using the vehicle’s dedicated charge port and cable, the drive battery can be recharged by one of these methods:

  • Normal Charging (AC 230-240V / 10A) with a standard domestic power point
  • Normal Charging (AC 230-240V / 15A) using a home or public charging device (EVSE)
  • Quick Charging at a public charging station

You can also charge while you drive using the Regenerative Braking System.

How long does it take to charge a Plug-in Hybrid EV?

  • Approximately 9.5 hours using a standard domestic power point (AC 230-240V / 10A)
  • Approximately 6.5 hours using a home or public charging device (EVSE) (AC 230-240V / 15A)
  • Approximately 38 minutes for an 80% charge, using a public charging station

Does the drive battery degrade over time?

Gradual capacity loss of the drive battery over its lifetime, known as degradation, is a normal characteristic of this technology and is not caused by defects in materials or factory workmanship. As such, degradation is not covered under the New Car Warranty. 

From 22MY Outlander Plug-in Hybrid vehicles onward, The Drive Battery Capacity Care Program provides for protection against degradation. Subject to the terms of the Program, when fully charged, if the battery does not retain at least 66% of its useable energy capacity Mitsubishi Motors will (at its sole discretion and election) repair, replace or otherwise treat the drive battery without cost such that it retains at least 66% of its useable energy capacity.

The Drive Battery Capacity Care Program will apply from the date of first registration for the warranty period of 8 years or 160,000kms (whichever occurs first). ⋄1 

To claim under the Drive Battery Capacity Care Program, you are required to present your vehicle to an authorised Mitsubishi Motors Dealer.
