One thing to keep in mind with 38 miles of range even if you have a 50 mile commute is that every single day you will use that 38 miles and then only do 12 on gas. If it gets 24mpg after the EV range then you'd only use 0.5 gallons a day for 50 miles which works out to 100mpg. In a 7 passenger big heavy brick shaped vehicle that's amazingly impressive.
What? That's miscalculation. .. You are using only gas usage in calculation but while calculating mileage you added ev km also to wrongly calculate 100mpg... You should say 100miles per $ amount (both ev charging cost and gas cost)
@@akhere07 While true,home electricity is vastly cheaper than gas for propulsion. So in my example, in order to go 38 miles you need to use about 18kWh of electricity. At the national US average of about 13.5 cents that would cost $2.34, or 6.2 cents a mile for that 38 miles. That same 38 miles with the 23mpg the gas Outlander gets in the city at $3.50 a gallon would be $5.76. Which means the PHEV saves you $3.42 a day, or on 6 days a week (work plus one shopping day) saves $20.52. at 50 out of 52 weeks a year that's 1026 bucks. Now comes the problem. The gas edition with AWC comes in at about 32k. The PHEV, more like 40k. That means about 8 years to pay the difference with just that much charging. Now you know why PHEVs aren't popular unless they get significant rebates. In Canada some provinces the PHEV gets 10 grand off making it the obvious choice. The only way it makes sense is if you can force other people to pay some of it for you.
Don’t be conned by the 7 seat stuff. Have you seen the legroom, or tried the headroom? It’s a marketing gimmick. It’s not quite so impressive when you consider that you can only carry very young children in that third row.
38 mile EV range is good for my daily use. I used to own a 2014 Chevy Volt with 38 mile range and I only needed the engine once per month or two. Yet I still could take a long road trip using the engine instead of the fast charging networks that we have today.
Since the battery is only 20kwh (less than an original Leaf), just charge it at home overnight and save time, money, and hassle. If you’re trying to quick charge a PHEV, you’re wasting your own time. That’s what the gas engine is there for.
I am getting 107 mpg in my Audi Q5 PHEV. Six days a week I drive just below the battery limit. My previous car was a BEV and I have no regrets switching to a PHEV.

@Jethro Stuff Not Enough...that's for sure. My sister was in an accident almost a year ago on Feb 6th and has been on life support in Vancouver Washington, I live in Joshua tree so I make the 2k round trip quite frequently. Approx.15 hrs straight through and 1,012 miles one way. Had BMW I3 and loved it but not good for a road trip like this. So phev splits difference for me as I commute locally otherwise for college and work.
@Jethro Stuff Small world! Beautiful place beside the Hayden island Bridge. Hahaha I commute from hillsboro when I'm up there so that Bridge is the bane of my existence currently. Below is my sister crash story. I share it in hope to find what caused accident. Was inconclusive Last night, Portland Fire & Rescue (PR&R) responded to a rollover accident at 10:00 pm around 3400 SW Scholls Ferry Rd. American Medical Response (AMR) arrived first on the scene and treated a female victim about 30 feet from the damaged car. When PF&R’s Truck 4 arrived, they assisted with moving the victim further from the car, which had caught fire and started to burn through the power lines above. PF&R's Water Tender 16 arrived and worked to extinguish the fire, which had burned through the power lines and started arcing on the ground near the car. Fire crews, along with AMR, were then able to assess the victim away from the dangers of the burning car, due to the bravery of two Portland citizens - Eli Bowden and Michael Hartung. Before Crews could arrive, these two young men were parked near the accident, waiting for rescue crews when the car caught fire. Without concern for their own lives, they pulled the one victim from the car and took her to a safer place away from the car so she could be treated. The victim was critically injured during the accident and was unconscious when Eli and Michael pulled her out of the burning car. Because of their courageous acts, she has a fighting chance to survive. The accident victim was quickly assessed by AMR and was entered into the Trauma System. The condition of the victim is unknown at this time. PF&R would like to thank both Eli and Michael for their bravery!
Not really, EA gets a bad wrap because they are the most used and largest CCS charging network in the US. Yes I agree that third party charging networks are crap compared to Tesla's super charging network that is why more Manufactures are building their own. If and when super charger open up to non Teslas I think you will see similar issues because all though the CCS plug is standard though out the US each car manufacture uses different software to charge, again I could be wrong.
@@andreiionescu205 I think there a West coast-based company, they don't do a lot of DC fast charging to my knowledge they are mostly focused on home AC charging. I think one of the chargers in Alaska that used was a flow DC charger
Phev's aren't designed for fast charging. The battery is too small to take 50kw for a long period of time. Total EV's don't stay at peak charging rates long.
I'm all for larger battery size and faster charging rates in PHEVs. Land Rover PHEVs have 38 kWh batteries now, for example. RAM 1500 Revolution with range extender may be considered a series PHEV, with battery capacity over 100 kWh, most likely. Great evolution and options for people like us in mountain regions where PHEV gives us the natural backup plan.
@@ThatGrizzlyGuy They're not portraying to be experts. They're just taking us along for the ride. If you're so angry with TH-camrs, maybe you should get rid of TH-cam.
In the news today, last quarter of 2022 it cost more to charge an ev (even charging at home) than fill a gas tank! Just as predicted by the “conspiracy theorists” a decade ago! LOL!
this is so bad you guys dont understand charging curves....no, that is the real dcfc speed for that size pack at that state of charge with no preconditioning.......its for once not the station....
The new Outlander PHEV is amazing. All the reviews I've seen can't believe how well it handles for a mid size SUV. I wouldn't worry much about reliability - the only thing that went wrong with my 2014 was a dodgy cruise control switch over 8 years and 108,000 km. With a genuine 38 miles of EV range most will do 90% of their driving in EV mode and that means the gas engine is only on a 10% duty cycle. It's a shame it's a bit overpriced.
So what's your point?? You installed 220v charger, why don't you say results of charging of 220v??? Or differents between charging times of 110v and 220v???
@@momcilopucar8749 You may want to consider something less aggressive next time, like “how have you liked the 220? What differences have you noticed? Thanks!” That’s all. Have a nice day. 😊
I recently bought a Jeep GC 4xe with a rated 26 miles of EV range. After roughly 1000 miles, it's still showing 160 miles of range on the gas engine. I think this is the sweet spot between gas vs electric for now. As the Cannonball run(s) showed, road trips in an EV aren't there yet. Sure, there is the added complexity and weight, but the PHEV has a lot of advantages.
i gotta say, i'm impressed with this PHEV, especially for the size. If you have a shorter commute or need a weekend warrior car, you could likely drive without gas for months.
Had mine for 5 years and most of the time it was town driving so always electric, but when I wanted to hitch up my 1.5t caravan and head away it was using the gas and electric combination with none of the range limitations of a pure electric. Made it a great choice for me.
The max charging speed for gen.4 Outlander PHEV when using CHAdeMO charger is ~38 kW, but that is only the max while the typical charging speed typically will be smaller. However, the car is rated to be able to charge from 0% to 80% in ~38 minutes. Moreover, when charging with CHAdeMO charger the car should stop charging at 80%. Going past 80% is not recommended, because the charging speed will fall down significantly which is what it can be seen in the video where it shows only 6 kW charging.
I came to say the same thing. This car will NOT charge at 50kW. And EVERY EV slows down drastically at 80% on a fast charger. In addition, you're driving in 33F temp, so unless you turn the interior heat completely off, you're going to run the heat pump to keep the cabin warm. There's no way to get full range with the heat on. You don't seem to know anything about the car you're testing. It doesn't make your review very valuable. You need to research the vehicle you're testing before you embarrass yourself like this. I am glad to see the car can perform as well as it did for the weather conditions and terrain it was driven in. 2.6 miles per kWh is pretty good for a car this size, the weather conditions, and I'm assuming you had the heat running the entire time.
Loved my 2015 PHEV. Absolutely no problems other than front callipers seizing through lack of use (common on electric/hybrid). Would have bought another but no longer selling in U.K. ☹️
38 miles of range is insanely good. What's even more amazing is that it uses chademo, which is basically level 3 charging speeds. I haven't seen another PHEV that does level 3 charging speeds. The chademo charger gives a ton of options. Let's say you have a 70 mile round trip journey and the place you're stopping has a chademo charger. Well you can stop, charge and do the entire 70 miles on battery. Level 2 chargers aren't plentiful and I feel that more PHEVs should still give access to level 3 charging, but just lower the charge rate. Anyway, this looks like a great compromise for those that live in an apartment and might not always have access to a charger.
Why wouldn't it be... It's a PHEV, by design the gas engine will kick in to help get to speed and then shut off. That's exactly how my 4XE works, it spends about 60% of it's time in all electric and only 40% running the engine.
chademo, CCS, doesn't matter, it's too expensive to pay for a fast charger on a 20 kWh battery. But the chademo does allow for V2H charging to provide emergency energy to your home if needed.
This vehicle is made for Japan with no extra cost to provide Chademo in worldwide sold cars: it is simpler to keep it on together with AC plug rather than remove it and leave just an AC port the way most PHEVs are built.
You only get 38 pure electric miles when you run the battery from 100% to 0% (VERY bad for battery life) AND it 's warm out AND you're not on the highway. Double the battery capacity and you've got something close to right. That way you'd get 40-50 pure, real-world electric miles between charges without buring it down to 0%. Most folks would at that point only run gas on road trips.
Mitsubishi outlander Phev is most sold in my area right now like local deal sold 20 in a week including mine 😀 crazy also you get a 7000 rebate from my local and provincial government
The charger is fine, it's the car, batteries only charge at top speed if two conditions are met, first they are at low state of charge, 2nd they need to be inside a particular temperature interval, usually between 20°C and 40°C. Neither of those conditions were met in this test so the speed obtained is what is to be expected.
Nice Video. Ok guys I know you know how batteries charge but I will explain it too you again. You plugged in at 57% which is on the down side of the DC charging curve so you were never going to see max charge rate. Than you tried to charge it to 100% on a DC fast charger knowing that the car and the charger will drastically drop down charging speed at 80% to protect the battery. It may drop even slower because it is only a 20 KW battery. I'm in know way saying that EA doesn't have its own issues. I'm complaining because TFL for the most part focuses on the negative not the positive and does not explain why things maybe happening. Here is my take, charging may be slow because as you said it was cold so the charger was cold and the battery was cold. My guess is because an PHEV does not use its battery all the time so the battery may never get warm especially if it is not in the engine bay. You plugged in at 57% on the down side of the charging curve, the battery is small so it probably peak charging only happens below 25%. Then you tried to charge to a 100% on a DC fast charger. A PHEV with a DC port is stupid the best way to charge a PHEV in my mind is on ac with at least a 7.2 KW on board charger.
@@RichardJoashTan okay my reasoning why a DC fast charge is stupid on a plug-in hybrid, if you just want to run on battery only for longer trips why not just buy an EV. With a plug-in hybrid with a DC fast-charge all you're doing is carrying around an extra drivetrain. I wouldn't buy one
I thought you guys were supposed to know about EV'S. Looks like you guys need to watch some TH-camrs that know about EV'S! You do Not DC fast charge plug in hybrids.
"Just say no to CHAdeMO." For the life of me, I can't comprehend how difficult it could possibly be for Nissan to convert the Leaf and this vehicle -- and any others in its world-wide product line -- from CHAdeMO to CCS. CHAdeMO at this point will always be an exercise in watching charging stations evaporate over the coming years. As for the "carrying around a heavy engine" talk, there is virtually nothing in the automotive world heavier than "a battery pack." There just can't be any doubt whatsoever that "carrying around a bigger battery pack" for more range will be much heavier than "carrying around a combustion engine" -- and, of course, the combustion engine will likely provide somewhere around twice the range that any "bigger battery pack" ever would. And, also of course, it just won't take a half an hour or an hour or however long it will take to charge that bigger battery, to "fully charge" that combustion engine's fuel tank. A plug-in hybrid makes plenty of sense for a lot of people.
As a reference: Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 2 door coupe with V8 engine is almost 4200 pounds. Other Mustang GT coupes are almost 4,000 pounds. Tesla Model 3 Long Range 4 door sedan with large trunk is about 4,000 pounds. With a 350 to 400 mile range, drive for 4 or 5 hours, stop to plug in, take a piss, eat a snack or have lunch while charging to 80%. Drive an additional 3 hours and 200 miles and stop at the hotel to call it a day. How many 1,000 to 2,000 mile hurry up vacation road trips do most people take in a year?
In the U.S. and Europe, correct. Chademo is still widely used in Japan. It’s unfortunate that they don’t offer a non-Japanese version with CCS, but that would add a lot of design and manufacturing cost.
If you do away with Chademo plugs just imagine how many 350kW CCS units will be clogged up with slow charging PHEVs using them. I have recently seen 2 Land Rover PHEV owners being berated by Tesla owners (we have no superchargers in this part of Scotland so Tesla owners have to use the local 50kW DCFC) for plugging in their 50kW capable cars that take less time to charge than a Tesla a 50kW unit due to the LR’s smaller battery pack. I have to declare ani Teresa - I own a Mini Cooper SE (BEV) and a diesel Land Rover Defender- before you ask the price of the Defender PHEV is ludicrously high here in the U.K. - it costs me less to own a BEV and a diesel 2020 Defender than to buy the Defender PHEV.
Great review! you covered both the pros and cons. Really enjoyed the video. Also driving on b5 was a great idea (there's a sweet spot on the accelerator where you don't use energy at all and just coast along that's the best for downhill sections at lower speeds. But you can also drive as a normal person and let the computer think of all the hard stuff)
@Zoltán Kárpát it does in my area, there are no fast charges and heading to our family's cottage we would get there with not much range left in the winter time. And we usually have several vehicles and we all couldn't charge once we get there. Maybe in a few more years the dc charging station drought will change and a bev would be the way to go.
I chose a PHEV because the charging infrastructure in my area is abysmal. In the summer I get well over 100mpg. In the winter it's more like 60-70mpg because it idles the gas engine to get heat. I also do very regular 500 mile day trips through the spring to the fall so charging would be a huge hassle. When I trip I can just gas and go like a regular car and then all my around town and daily work commutes can be in EV mode. The main drawback with PHEVs is the extra cost will only pay for itself in gas savings after many years, so it's a hard sell. People need to think of these as gas mitigation gas powered vehicles, like a hybrid with an advantage, rather than a short range EV with an extender. For any advantages you really do need to plug it in religiously.
Given how cold it was, I'm surprised you got the range that you did. I'm hoping to see other reviews in milder climates getting closer to the full range. I still don't quite understand why the MID said 38 miles on 90% charge. I wonder what it would have said if you had been able to top it off to 100% charge.
The new outlander phev has a heat pump, like the rav4 prime. So cabin heat is from the battery. Unlike the hyundai/kia offerings which require the engine to run for heat.
People that are going to commute for short runs a EV vehicle is the way to go but they are useless on cross country runs unless you want to waste a lot of you time waiting for a charge.
Ok so I have a 2023 Outlander GT. Some points: A) city driving is beautiful. Plug in at home use no fuel. B) Except when it’s real cold. The engine will come in fairly regularly to generate heat. C) I suspect the car did slow down the fast charging at 80% as that saves your battery life. D) the overall value of this vehicle is also based on your need for comfort and luxury. Which this vehicle has. People miss that the Rav4, doesn’t even have real leather. E) overall I’ve been very happy with my 2023 Outlander. The car feels excellent, and the warranty is fantastic.
I'm getting between 45-55 miles on EV around town and close to 50 when going on the interstate. Zero gas in the last week. If you really floor it then the engine kicks in for a little while. The comments about weight didn't include a comparison of the weight of what a 300 mile battery would be.
Come on guys… charging curves. There is no issue, it only charges at 50 Kw for the first few kWh. Phevs are compliance cars that made sense with the tax credit but now it doesn’t qualify so it’s DOA.
I daily commute short distances my mileage always average 43miles to 60miles consistently currently total 7000KM averaged at 3.9L/100KM 6 times visited petrol pum at 360L approx. between battery depleted on a full tank I got average of 6.6L/100KM
Three weeks into ownership, my fuel gauge has not moved and the consumption reads 0.7l/100km. My commuteallows near 100% EV. Local fast charge gives first 7kW free. Took 30 min, starting at 20kW/hr and finishing at 10kW/hr. Personally, with a big PV, home charging suits me better.
Look how frustrating electric drivers are… waiting around to charge because chargers don’t work.. and everyone by. 2030 should be driving electric? Yeah right….
Bear in mind that most BMSs (battery management systems) slow down the charging rate of a public fast charger as the battery gets near full because ideally they don't want you to charge above 80% with a lithium-ion battery or let charge drop much below 20%. I think that's the issue you were experiencing during charging on this video, not a grid problem or a charger problem.
Thanks for the review: CHADEMO works like this post 50% battery it does slowdown the charge because 50% of lithium Ion got enough energy to create resistance for ion flow o load new energy, So Mitsubishi got its own mechanism. 38KW first 50% of battery post 50% based on the battery temperature it slows to approx 27KW post 80% it slows to approx 15KW ~ 10KW Overall time to reach first 50% 15 mins 80% 30 mins 100% 55 mins Total KWH it might take is 16 to 17KWH
@@KalleSWBeck Pretty simple reason... More opportunities to charge and get "bonus" Electric Mode driving when we happen to encounter a good charger near our destinations, even when stopping only for a smaller amount of time. L3 could be 5x faster than L2 -- even just 3x faster would be of value, to reduce charge time from 2 hours to 40 minutes hour for example. More like it! L3 chargers are available by the Clark Planetarium, for example.
How absolutely crazy and stupid of nissan to still be building cars with CHAdeMO. This hints as to why all automakers are so far behind Tesla and will remain behind until they start trying to be better.
Was the heater turned on or off during this test? And btw, it doesn't have a transmission 😂. The gasoline engine is directly coupled to the front wheels at a certain rpm.
9:56 I grew up in Southern California and when I graduated high school in 2004, someone gave me a gift certificate to In-N-Out. I moved to Colorado Springs a few days later and never got the chance to use it. Well, I still have the gift certificate and now Colorado has In-N-Out.
Nice video, but pls note, you would have come even further by cruising on B0, and 14.35 into the video, it's not RPM you see it's actually x10KW so how much power the ICE uses. When the battery is depleted, the car run in hybrid mode, so you still get efficient driving, reducing the total amount of fuel used.
Why are you guys surprised? Charging at a higher state of charge with a fairly small battery (20kWh), the charge rate will be lower than the peak rate. It will slow down as it tops off.
sorry guys but for whatever reason Outlander PHEV despite saying supports 50kw charging you be lucky to ever hit over 20kw charge rate. Mine has never bounced over 20
Definitely something fishy going on with that charge scenario. If both the car and station should get 50kW, but its only getting 18kW and then 6kW... that's not right. The few times I used fast chargers for our eGolf we always charged around 40kW.
The main issue with this car from many reviewers is the harsh ride over pot-holes. There is a sharp shudder. If they work on that for the next model I'll buy one. It's a good value car. Though I'd prefer a 5 seat model too. And one without that horrible orange strip in the interior would be even better.
Dude it’s not just really good that they includes a S AWC on the vehicule , it is actually the very first AWD SUV plug in hybrid that came out 8 years ago in Europe and made a killing
is there a screen to tell how many kw is left in the battery when the ice kicks in?-- ie with the chevy volt-- the battery charge will say 16+ kw on full charge and then ice kicks when the battery is around 5 to 6kwh--- thanks
What is the difference between 110v and 220v charging. I hread that 220v charging is about 30 minutes and 110v needs overnight charging. Is that correct??????

@@kristianmurin3696 Wow, sorry to hear that. Also, how strange is this: I live in Vancouver, WA.
@Jethro Stuff Small world! Beautiful place beside the Hayden island Bridge. Hahaha I commute from hillsboro when I'm up there so that Bridge is the bane of my existence currently. Below is my sister crash story. I share it in hope to find what caused accident. Was inconclusive
Last night, Portland Fire & Rescue (PR&R) responded to a rollover accident at 10:00 pm around 3400 SW Scholls Ferry Rd. American Medical Response (AMR) arrived first on the scene and treated a female victim about 30 feet from the damaged car. When PF&R’s Truck 4 arrived, they assisted with moving the victim further from the car, which had caught fire and started to burn through the power lines above. PF&R's Water Tender 16 arrived and worked to extinguish the fire, which had burned through the power lines and started arcing on the ground near the car.
Fire crews, along with AMR, were then able to assess the victim away from the dangers of the burning car, due to the bravery of two Portland citizens - Eli Bowden and Michael Hartung. Before Crews could arrive, these two young men were parked near the accident, waiting for rescue crews when the car caught fire. Without concern for their own lives, they pulled the one victim from the car and took her to a safer place away from the car so she could be treated. The victim was critically injured during the accident and was unconscious when Eli and Michael pulled her out of the burning car. Because of their courageous acts, she has a fighting chance to survive.
The accident victim was quickly assessed by AMR and was entered into the Trauma System. The condition of the victim is unknown at this time.
PF&R would like to thank both Eli and Michael for their bravery!
Awesome, more details please. Does yours have the 1500W AC outlets?
Electrify America is the worst enemy of the automotive electrification in America!
Not really, EA gets a bad wrap because they are the most used and largest CCS charging network in the US. Yes I agree that third party charging networks are crap compared to Tesla's super charging network that is why more Manufactures are building their own. If and when super charger open up to non Teslas I think you will see similar issues because all though the CCS plug is standard though out the US each car manufacture uses different software to charge, again I could be wrong.
@@andreiionescu205 those are for your house
@@andreiionescu205 I think there a West coast-based company, they don't do a lot of DC fast charging to my knowledge they are mostly focused on home AC charging. I think one of the chargers in Alaska that used was a flow DC charger
I agree!!
You can thank Volkswagen for Electrify America because of the diesel emissions scandal.
Phev's aren't designed for fast charging. The battery is too small to take 50kw for a long period of time. Total EV's don't stay at peak charging rates long.
You’d think people with an EV channel would know basic EV stuff. But as proven daily, TH-camrs don’t know as much as they portray.
I'm all for larger battery size and faster charging rates in PHEVs. Land Rover PHEVs have 38 kWh batteries now, for example. RAM 1500 Revolution with range extender may be considered a series PHEV, with battery capacity over 100 kWh, most likely. Great evolution and options for people like us in mountain regions where PHEV gives us the natural backup plan.

@@ThatGrizzlyGuy Mitsubishi literally says you can fast charge this vehicle.
In the news today, last quarter of 2022 it cost more to charge an ev (even charging at home) than fill a gas tank! Just as predicted by the “conspiracy theorists” a decade ago! LOL!
Actually, the electric motors are running all the time in the Outlander PHEV.
this is so bad you guys dont understand charging curves....no, that is the real dcfc speed for that size pack at that state of charge with no preconditioning.......its for once not the station....
The new Outlander PHEV is amazing. All the reviews I've seen can't believe how well it handles for a mid size SUV. I wouldn't worry much about reliability - the only thing that went wrong with my 2014 was a dodgy cruise control switch over 8 years and 108,000 km. With a genuine 38 miles of EV range most will do 90% of their driving in EV mode and that means the gas engine is only on a 10% duty cycle. It's a shame it's a bit overpriced.
Overpriced?
Definitely not overpriced. Let me know, I can get you the lowest price. 😀
42 miles for burgers??? Hopefully they were good.
Very impressive
We need an off-road comparison test to the RAV4 Prime.
The outlander is just better at off road...
I bought a 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV in 2021 in Denver. It's been a great vehicle for the time I've owned it. I installed a 220V in my garage.
So what's your point?? You installed 220v charger, why don't you say results of charging of 220v??? Or differents between charging times of 110v and 220v???
@Momcilo Pucar 120V charge time from 10% to 100% is about 7-8hrs. 220V charge time from 10% to 100% is about 2h to 2h 45min.
@@momcilopucar8749 You may want to consider something less aggressive next time, like “how have you liked the 220? What differences have you noticed? Thanks!” That’s all.
Have a nice day. 😊
The peak dc charging speed is actually about 22kw
I recently bought a Jeep GC 4xe with a rated 26 miles of EV range. After roughly 1000 miles, it's still showing 160 miles of range on the gas engine. I think this is the sweet spot between gas vs electric for now. As the Cannonball run(s) showed, road trips in an EV aren't there yet. Sure, there is the added complexity and weight, but the PHEV has a lot of advantages.
i gotta say, i'm impressed with this PHEV, especially for the size. If you have a shorter commute or need a weekend warrior car, you could likely drive without gas for months.
which means you dont need gas......which means this is the wrong choice.
Had mine for 5 years and most of the time it was town driving so always electric, but when I wanted to hitch up my 1.5t caravan and head away it was using the gas and electric combination with none of the range limitations of a pure electric. Made it a great choice for me.
The max charging speed for gen.4 Outlander PHEV when using CHAdeMO charger is ~38 kW, but that is only the max while the typical charging speed typically will be smaller. However, the car is rated to be able to charge from 0% to 80% in ~38 minutes. Moreover, when charging with CHAdeMO charger the car should stop charging at 80%. Going past 80% is not recommended, because the charging speed will fall down significantly which is what it can be seen in the video where it shows only 6 kW charging.
I came to say the same thing. This car will NOT charge at 50kW. And EVERY EV slows down drastically at 80% on a fast charger. In addition, you're driving in 33F temp, so unless you turn the interior heat completely off, you're going to run the heat pump to keep the cabin warm. There's no way to get full range with the heat on.
You don't seem to know anything about the car you're testing. It doesn't make your review very valuable. You need to research the vehicle you're testing before you embarrass yourself like this. I am glad to see the car can perform as well as it did for the weather conditions and terrain it was driven in. 2.6 miles per kWh is pretty good for a car this size, the weather conditions, and I'm assuming you had the heat running the entire time.
How many people have you a dirty look because you were charging a PHEV?
It Beats the rav 4 version in features unction size and 4wd performance which other channels have already done...next
Loved my 2015 PHEV. Absolutely no problems other than front callipers seizing through lack of use (common on electric/hybrid). Would have bought another but no longer selling in U.K. ☹️
38 miles of range is insanely good. What's even more amazing is that it uses chademo, which is basically level 3 charging speeds. I haven't seen another PHEV that does level 3 charging speeds.
The chademo charger gives a ton of options. Let's say you have a 70 mile round trip journey and the place you're stopping has a chademo charger. Well you can stop, charge and do the entire 70 miles on battery. Level 2 chargers aren't plentiful and I feel that more PHEVs should still give access to level 3 charging, but just lower the charge rate. Anyway, this looks like a great compromise for those that live in an apartment and might not always have access to a charger.
Chademo is also bi-directional and so can do vehicle to home and vehicle to grid.
Would love to see if that electric motor is still strong after 7 people and luggage, would love to see that test!
Why wouldn't it be... It's a PHEV, by design the gas engine will kick in to help get to speed and then shut off. That's exactly how my 4XE works, it spends about 60% of it's time in all electric and only 40% running the engine.
I think it's 230HP or so, should be no problem for a car that size. Not super fast but not underpowered.
@@whidbeyhiker4364 just thought it would be a cool video
It has 248HP and 332lb-ft, it won't struggle as much as the gas version and also instant torque.
Why are new vehicles tested,tested and tested? There’s no guessing in car production!
I'm getting 40-50miles per charge, according to the computer. I'm still under 500miles though. Just picked her up in December!!
Bought a 23 Niro PHEV, fortunately have a commute that takes advantage of most of the EV only mode. I did over 800 miles on one tank (8.5 gallons).
same but 2022, bit smaller battery but in 11 months of ownership, it's been 4 fill ups.
CHADEMO dead man walking..... No one should buy a new Chademo equipped car. It's like buying a new VCR.🙄 EA is removing it from their chargers.
chademo, CCS, doesn't matter, it's too expensive to pay for a fast charger on a 20 kWh battery. But the chademo does allow for V2H charging to provide emergency energy to your home if needed.
If everyone took your advice you would have Chademo to yourself!
This vehicle is made for Japan with no extra cost to provide Chademo in worldwide sold cars: it is simpler to keep it on together with AC plug rather than remove it and leave just an AC port the way most PHEVs are built.
Awesome, can you guys do a long trip with the car? The epa gas combined rating seems to be much less than the competition's
EPA numbers are almost never right
These is a car that makes a lot of sense it most of your trips are 20-40 miles the just gas efficiency isn’t great
You only get 38 pure electric miles when you run the battery from 100% to 0% (VERY bad for battery life) AND it 's warm out AND you're not on the highway.
Double the battery capacity and you've got something close to right. That way you'd get 40-50 pure, real-world electric miles between charges without buring it down to 0%. Most folks would at that point only run gas on road trips.

The charger is fine, it's the car, batteries only charge at top speed if two conditions are met, first they are at low state of charge, 2nd they need to be inside a particular temperature interval, usually between 20°C and 40°C. Neither of those conditions were met in this test so the speed obtained is what is to be expected.
I don't see the point of DC fast charging a PHEV, especially the abandoned Chademo standard. Gasoline is the 'fast charge' option for a PHEV.

Nice Video. Ok guys I know you know how batteries charge but I will explain it too you again. You plugged in at 57% which is on the down side of the DC charging curve so you were never going to see max charge rate. Than you tried to charge it to 100% on a DC fast charger knowing that the car and the charger will drastically drop down charging speed at 80% to protect the battery. It may drop even slower because it is only a 20 KW battery. I'm in know way saying that EA doesn't have its own issues. I'm complaining because TFL for the most part focuses on the negative not the positive and does not explain why things maybe happening. Here is my take, charging may be slow because as you said it was cold so the charger was cold and the battery was cold. My guess is because an PHEV does not use its battery all the time so the battery may never get warm especially if it is not in the engine bay. You plugged in at 57% on the down side of the charging curve, the battery is small so it probably peak charging only happens below 25%. Then you tried to charge to a 100% on a DC fast charger. A PHEV with a DC port is stupid the best way to charge a PHEV in my mind is on ac with at least a 7.2 KW on board charger.
Not me. A PHEV with a DC charge port is pure GENIUS, AND I WILL BUY A FULLY LOADED 2023 OUTLANDER PHEV ANYWAY!
@@RichardJoashTan okay my reasoning why a DC fast charge is stupid on a plug-in hybrid, if you just want to run on battery only for longer trips why not just buy an EV. With a plug-in hybrid with a DC fast-charge all you're doing is carrying around an extra drivetrain. I wouldn't buy one

"Just say no to CHAdeMO." For the life of me, I can't comprehend how difficult it could possibly be for Nissan to convert the Leaf and this vehicle -- and any others in its world-wide product line -- from CHAdeMO to CCS. CHAdeMO at this point will always be an exercise in watching charging stations evaporate over the coming years.
As for the "carrying around a heavy engine" talk, there is virtually nothing in the automotive world heavier than "a battery pack." There just can't be any doubt whatsoever that "carrying around a bigger battery pack" for more range will be much heavier than "carrying around a combustion engine" -- and, of course, the combustion engine will likely provide somewhere around twice the range that any "bigger battery pack" ever would. And, also of course, it just won't take a half an hour or an hour or however long it will take to charge that bigger battery, to "fully charge" that combustion engine's fuel tank. A plug-in hybrid makes plenty of sense for a lot of people.
As a reference:
Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 2 door coupe with V8 engine is almost 4200 pounds. Other Mustang GT coupes are almost 4,000 pounds.
Tesla Model 3 Long Range 4 door sedan with large trunk is about 4,000 pounds.
With a 350 to 400 mile range, drive for 4 or 5 hours, stop to plug in, take a piss, eat a snack or have lunch while charging to 80%. Drive an additional 3 hours and 200 miles and stop at the hotel to call it a day.
How many 1,000 to 2,000 mile hurry up vacation road trips do most people take in a year?
Nothing wrong with chademo you fool
In the U.S. and Europe, correct. Chademo is still widely used in Japan. It’s unfortunate that they don’t offer a non-Japanese version with CCS, but that would add a lot of design and manufacturing cost.
If you do away with Chademo plugs just imagine how many 350kW CCS units will be clogged up with slow charging PHEVs using them. I have recently seen 2 Land Rover PHEV owners being berated by Tesla owners (we have no superchargers in this part of Scotland so Tesla owners have to use the local 50kW DCFC) for plugging in their 50kW capable cars that take less time to charge than a Tesla a 50kW unit due to the LR’s smaller battery pack. I have to declare ani Teresa - I own a Mini Cooper SE (BEV) and a diesel Land Rover Defender- before you ask the price of the Defender PHEV is ludicrously high here in the U.K. - it costs me less to own a BEV and a diesel 2020 Defender than to buy the Defender PHEV.
Great review guys
Fast charging on a PHEV is… just pointless
Great review! you covered both the pros and cons. Really enjoyed the video.
Also driving on b5 was a great idea (there's a sweet spot on the accelerator where you don't use energy at all and just coast along that's the best for downhill sections at lower speeds. But you can also drive as a normal person and let the computer think of all the hard stuff)
I had a similar experience trying to Fast Charge the outlander PHEV. But the fast charger I was using was junk. It cost me a lot too.
At that point, would it be cheaper to just drive it as HEV and skip the charger?

@@bartz118 AND I WILL BUY A FULLY LOADED 2023 OUTLANDER PHEV ANYWAY!
@Richard Joash Tan. Hahaha! Good for you.
I chose a PHEV because the charging infrastructure in my area is abysmal. In the summer I get well over 100mpg. In the winter it's more like 60-70mpg because it idles the gas engine to get heat. I also do very regular 500 mile day trips through the spring to the fall so charging would be a huge hassle. When I trip I can just gas and go like a regular car and then all my around town and daily work commutes can be in EV mode.
The main drawback with PHEVs is the extra cost will only pay for itself in gas savings after many years, so it's a hard sell.
People need to think of these as gas mitigation gas powered vehicles, like a hybrid with an advantage, rather than a short range EV with an extender. For any advantages you really do need to plug it in religiously.
Components are "cross pollinated" with Nissan... Good phrase choice

The only thing I hate about this car is that dumb electric sound. All other brands have a pleasant music like sound. This one sound like a warehouse 😢
Given how cold it was, I'm surprised you got the range that you did. I'm hoping to see other reviews in milder climates getting closer to the full range. I still don't quite understand why the MID said 38 miles on 90% charge. I wonder what it would have said if you had been able to top it off to 100% charge.
considering all the weight in passengers its very good
Does the cabin heat come from the battery or the gas engine? Did TFL drive this test with the heat off?
The new outlander phev has a heat pump, like the rav4 prime. So cabin heat is from the battery. Unlike the hyundai/kia offerings which require the engine to run for heat.
That outlander is so sharp
People that are going to commute for short runs a EV vehicle is the way to go but they are useless on cross country runs unless you want to waste a lot of you time waiting for a charge.
I have 220 volt in my garage, this car would be perfect for me
Absolutely luv these. Great job guys.
That last 20% is always very slow. The fast charge is only up to 80%.
Ok so I have a 2023 Outlander GT.
Some points:
A) city driving is beautiful. Plug in at home use no fuel.
B) Except when it’s real cold. The engine will come in fairly regularly to generate heat.
C) I suspect the car did slow down the fast charging at 80% as that saves your battery life.
D) the overall value of this vehicle is also based on your need for comfort and luxury. Which this vehicle has. People miss that the Rav4, doesn’t even have real leather.
E) overall I’ve been very happy with my 2023 Outlander. The car feels excellent, and the warranty is fantastic.
I have one also in Sydney Australia the highest trim Exceed Tourer. I agree all your points and also buyer's regret.
What is real leather?
Do you use 3rd row?
Btw, is it worth the pay extra CAD9000 for phev if my driving is very less and mainly happens over weekend?
38 miles just for hamburgers!
I'm getting between 45-55 miles on EV around town and close to 50 when going on the interstate. Zero gas in the last week. If you really floor it then the engine kicks in for a little while.
The comments about weight didn't include a comparison of the weight of what a 300 mile battery would be.
Then you have a HYBRID which is not an EV.
talk km not miles, you are in the wrong century. Kiwi
Come on guys… charging curves. There is no issue, it only charges at 50 Kw for the first few kWh. Phevs are compliance cars that made sense with the tax credit but now it doesn’t qualify so it’s DOA.
I daily commute short distances my mileage always average 43miles to 60miles consistently currently total 7000KM averaged at 3.9L/100KM 6 times visited petrol pum at 360L approx. between battery depleted on a full tank I got average of 6.6L/100KM
Having that almost obsolete Chademo charger is practically a deal breaker.
Going to hardly ever use the DCFC though. Most of the time, you will just be charging at home on L2.
Not quite. As long as it has a J1772 connector alongside it.
Three weeks into ownership, my fuel gauge has not moved and the consumption reads 0.7l/100km. My commuteallows near 100% EV. Local fast charge gives first 7kW free. Took 30 min, starting at 20kW/hr and finishing at 10kW/hr. Personally, with a big PV, home charging suits me better.
Look how frustrating electric drivers are… waiting around to charge because chargers don’t work.. and everyone by. 2030 should be driving electric? Yeah right….
Bear in mind that most BMSs (battery management systems) slow down the charging rate of a public fast charger as the battery gets near full because ideally they don't want you to charge above 80% with a lithium-ion battery or let charge drop much below 20%. I think that's the issue you were experiencing during charging on this video, not a grid problem or a charger problem.
Give it a 60 kwh battery and you can drive ev only for a whole day.

@@bigdavedayday1581 cant drive a 100 MWh battery. That is 1 million pounds.
Thanks for the review: CHADEMO works like this post 50% battery it does slowdown the charge because 50% of lithium Ion got enough energy to create resistance for ion flow o load new energy, So Mitsubishi got its own mechanism.

I love PHEVs with Level 3 DC Fast Charge capability, like this one and the new Land Rover PHEVs (which have CCS).
Why?
@@KalleSWBeck Pretty simple reason... More opportunities to charge and get "bonus" Electric Mode driving when we happen to encounter a good charger near our destinations, even when stopping only for a smaller amount of time. L3 could be 5x faster than L2 -- even just 3x faster would be of value, to reduce charge time from 2 hours to 40 minutes hour for example. More like it! L3 chargers are available by the Clark Planetarium, for example.
How absolutely crazy and stupid of nissan to still be building cars with CHAdeMO. This hints as to why all automakers are so far behind Tesla and will remain behind until they start trying to be better.
The Outlander PHEV has both, not just the CHAdeMO.
Was the heater turned on or off during this test? And btw, it doesn't have a transmission 😂. The gasoline engine is directly coupled to the front wheels at a certain rpm.
9:56 I grew up in Southern California and when I graduated high school in 2004, someone gave me a gift certificate to In-N-Out. I moved to Colorado Springs a few days later and never got the chance to use it. Well, I still have the gift certificate and now Colorado has In-N-Out.
Nice video, but pls note, you would have come even further by cruising on B0, and 14.35 into the video, it's not RPM you see it's actually x10KW so how much power the ICE uses. When the battery is depleted, the car run in hybrid mode, so you still get efficient driving, reducing the total amount of fuel used.
I’ve just bought an outlander phev. I get it in sept here in New Zealand. Really looking forward to it! 😊
Why are you guys surprised? Charging at a higher state of charge with a fairly small battery (20kWh), the charge rate will be lower than the peak rate. It will slow down as it tops off.
seatbelts on the Cheeseburgers 😀
Does the Outlander heat the cabin with electric, or did it have to run the engine for that?
It must be electric because the motor wasn't running.
electric main drive batteries 🔋 true a heat pump like tesla heat up faster
It has a heat pump
On very cold day gas engine will come up to heat cabin. Ut does have a heat pump. Very efficient ,
has electric heat, previous generation and this one.
sorry guys but for whatever reason Outlander PHEV despite saying supports 50kw charging you be lucky to ever hit over 20kw charge rate. Mine has never bounced over 20
Definitely something fishy going on with that charge scenario.
If both the car and station should get 50kW, but its only getting 18kW and then 6kW... that's not right.
The few times I used fast chargers for our eGolf we always charged around 40kW.
The main issue with this car from many reviewers is the harsh ride over pot-holes. There is a sharp shudder. If they work on that for the next model I'll buy one. It's a good value car. Though I'd prefer a 5 seat model too. And one without that horrible orange strip in the interior would be even better.
Dude it’s not just really good that they includes a S AWC on the vehicule , it is actually the very first AWD SUV plug in hybrid that came out 8 years ago in Europe and made a killing
5-40% got me in 10 minutes, but then speed drops drastically. No point paying for fast charging after 60%
The Outlander PHEV is super appealing in every way but one. I would like it to be the size of a Highlander Or Pathfinder.
At 31cents/kwh before tax, its not going to be any cheaper than just running a gasoline engine. Luckily it should be WAY cheaper at home.
is there a screen to tell how many kw is left in the battery when the ice kicks in?-- ie with the chevy volt-- the battery charge will say 16+ kw on full charge and then ice kicks when the battery is around 5 to 6kwh--- thanks
What is the difference between 110v and 220v charging. I hread that 220v charging is about 30 minutes and 110v needs overnight charging. Is that correct??????
I have seen other reviewers complain about the brake pedal. How has TFL's tester been? Has the brake pedal been going to the floor also?
Seems like all these videos I've watched of you guys with EVs half the time their is issues with the chargers. It takes longer than filling up a gas car already but adding in issues with changers seems frustrating
Chademo can go up to 400 kwh. just the EA provider nuked chademo on purpose. There are other chargers in the world besides EA.
Best demonstration point in video is how sufficiently wide the new OL is when accommodating two “wide-ish” adult males side-by-side. 😮
Kind of like my 2014 BMW i3 (Rex). I’ve been able to drive it to TX from WA and back a few times easily.
So having a plug-in EV is expensive because u have to spend in gas & also electricity?
use the fast charger from 20 to 80 % only, the lower the state-of-charge, the higher the charging speed is…
