Mitsubishi Hybrid and Electric Vehicles FAQ
At Peterborough Mitsubishi, we believe that the future of the automotive industry is electric. In its efforts to pave the path, Mitsubishi has introduced several electric and hybrid vehicles throughout the past decade. At our dealership in Peterborough, Ontario, we strive to keep you informed and answer every question regarding Mitsubishi hybrid and electric vehicles. Here are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions!
What’s the Difference Between Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, and Electric Vehicles?
An electric vehicle (EV) is powered solely by an electric motor, allowing it to run on battery power alone and produce no carbon emissions. A hybrid vehicle utilizes both a traditional engine as well as an electric motor, with the battery being charged through regenerative braking. A plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) is similar to a hybrid; however, the battery can be charged by plugging the car into an outlet. PHEVs usually have more electric-only driving range than hybrid vehicles.
Are There Any Electric or Hybrid Mitsubishi Vehicles?
Mitsubishi has been ahead of the game for decades. In fact, Mitsubishi introduced its first electric car in 2009! Today, Mitsubishi offers the 2023 Outlander PHEV, an all-new plug-in hybrid SUV with all-wheel drive, exceptional capability, reduced charging time, improved range, and incredible fuel efficiency.
How Long Does It Take to Charge an Electric Car or PHEV?
With Mitsubishi’s constant innovations, there has been enormous development in its PHEVs. For instance, the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV only takes around 38 minutes to reach 80% battery capacity with a DC quick charger.
