Driving the Future Forward.
Plug in Hybrid EV
Clean, efficient and built for Australia.
Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid EVs give you an electric driving experience, with the reassurance of a hybrid petrol engine, plus the power of both when you need it. Plug in, charge up and zip around town electrically with zero tailpipe emissions, or use petrol power for longer Australian-made expeditions with remarkable fuel efficiency. You choose the energy, then enjoy the ride.
Worry Free
Never worry whether you have enough charge or fuel, with 2 independent power sources you have double the security and twice the driving fun.
Charge More Ways
Fast charge with a standard Type 2 connector at available public charging stations, plug into any standard domestic power outlet, or charge as you drive with regenerative braking.
Pure Power
Our electric drive motors deliver incredible torque and performance with zero tailpipe emissions.
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
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.
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.
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 driving.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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
