Posted by digital sspm on January 18th, 2021

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a plug in hybrid SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) intended for exploring semi-off-road terrain. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a vehicle that uses a combination of an electric motor and a 2.0 liter petrol engine.

PHEV stands for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, the hybrid system in PHEV is a battery that can be charged by plugging electricity directly into the car using a charger. This plug-in hybrid system allows the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to run purely on batteries. Of course, with a note, the battery is always ready to supply power to the electric motor.

The battery capacity is 12 kWh which can be charged in 25-30 minutes or reaches 80% battery capacity with the quick charging version using the Quick Charger which is also a feature of this vehicle. The quick charging system on the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV already uses the CHAdeMO (charge de move) system or protocol. This is the global quick charging standard used by many electric car manufacturers in the world.

There are two electric motor units on the Outlander PHEV, each embedded on each side of the wheel (front and rear). These two motorbikes can provide 164PS of power, while the gasoline engine unit can produce 118 PS of power. So the total power that can be generated to all wheels when the gasoline engine and electric motor are combined reaches 200 PS. With a combination of performance and super sophisticated technology, the price of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV car is priced at 1.3 billion rupiah.

How do the electric motors and gasoline engines work on the Outlander PHEV? Mitsubishi Motors divides it into three systems. The first is EV Mode or purely electric, here the car can be sped using a battery that drives an electric motor without involving a gasoline engine. So the car will feel like an electric car without any engine noise. In this mode, the Outlander PHEV can shoot up to 120 km / hour.

The second is Hybrid Mode, in this mode the electric motor is still the main driver, but the engine will turn on to become a battery charging generator. The third is Parallel Hybrid Mode, in this mode the gasoline engine is used to drive the car as well as charge the battery. Usually this condition works when the car is accelerating or is facing an incline. All of these systems can be selected independently by the driver or automatically.

The Outlander PHEV is also equipped with an S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) drive system which you can get in cash or Mitsubishi car credit through an official Sun Motor dealer. As a hybrid car line that combines the power of two batteries and fuel, of course, has a different treatment method.

The Outlander PHEV itself has a feature that can gradually lower the battery level. This feature serves to prevent battery damage. For this reason, Outlander PHEV owners are expected to check the energy level meter every three months.

Car owners also have to keep charging the battery or can adjust the power supply mode. For battery charging, you should also use low current (home charging) when the car is only parked for a long time. Meanwhile, the use of quick charging or high currents can be minimized. If you can only use quick charging, it is recommended to use normal-charge at least once every two weeks.
