Learn How to Charge Your PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle)
A PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) combines a gas combustion engine with an electric motor to offer hybrid power, increased efficiency, and exceptional fuel economy. At Bow Mitsubishi, we have a wide new inventory of PHEVs available at our leading dealership in Calgary, Alberta. Unlike conventional gas cars, PHEV owners have various sources to charge their cars. If you're wondering how to charge a Mitsubishi plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, here's all you need to know!
Charge at Home and On the Go
Charging your PHEV at home is convenient and relatively affordable. You can achieve PHEV home charging using a professionally installed charging unit. Ensure you are parked and the vehicle's ignition is switched before you plug in the charging cable. To charge, plug your charging cable in the inlet, usually found on the left-hand like on the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Your vehicle will start charging and will automatically stop when complete. You can also stop the charging process at any time by unplugging the connector from the charging port. Alternatively, you can charge your PHEV using your regular domestic plug. Simply connect the standalone charging cable to the domestic socket and plug it into the vehicle's charging port. Proceed to switch on the plug, and your car will automatically start charging. The charging will vary depending on the home charging method you use. Usually, this duration varies from three to seven hours to achieve a full charge.
Charge at a Public Quick Charge Station
You can also charge your PHEV at a public quick charge station. Before you begin to charge, ensure you park and turn off your vehicle's ignition. It is important to remember that you shouldn't turn on your ignition throughout the charging period. Swipe your access card, remove the connector from the station, and plug it into the right-hand charging inlet. This method is convenient for rapid charging, only requiring about 30 minutes to charge from empty to 80%. Using a combination of quick public charging and at-home charging keeps your battery in the best condition.
