The advancement in automotive technology moves at an incredibly fast pace. Every year that ticks by, vehicles of all shapes and sizes are becoming smarter, safer, more efficient, and more powerful. While this is true across the broad spectrum of vehicular technology, there's no doubt that electric vehicle technology has been a particularly exciting area of development.

With each passing day, it's becoming easier to envision an all-electric future for the cars on our roads.

Mitsubishi has been a key player in the electric vehicle market since the early days, and they continue to lead the pack in innovation with their PHEV technology. As early innovators, they have continued to improve and evolve their PHEV technology with every new iteration improving on the last. In their present state, traditional combustion engine vehicles are becoming harder and harder to justify over a PHEV. Choosing to go electrically powered used to require compromising on performance, price and driving range. This is no longer the case - for most consumers, a PHEV just makes sense.

The Benefits of Owning a PHEV

One of the main stumbling blocks for people looking to buy an electric vehicle is their driving range limitations. This concern is so common it has coined its very own term - "range anxiety". Range anxiety refers to the fear of running out of electric charge before reaching your destination, leaving you stranded on the side of the road.

PHEVs elegantly solve this problem. By relying mainly on their electric motors, they provide the ability for drivers to achieve their day-to-day commute purely off their battery power. However, PHEVs do have a trick up their sleeve that separates them from a fully electric vehicle - they are able to support their electric-powered motors with a combustion engine. This means that they are capable of driving in full-electric mode (EV mode), with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and Eclipse PHEV providing 84km and 55km EV range respectively, while also being able to run in parallel with the combustion engine which provides incredible fuel economy while having a combined range of 800km and 660km respectively.

This allows drivers to have all the cost-saving benefits of a full EV while removing the negatives associated with a purely battery-powered car. Mitsubishi's range of PHEVs can be charged from a standard NZ home power outlet, meaning it's just a matter of plugging it in overnight so that it's ready to go the next day. If you need a quicker charge, they can also be charged at a Fast Charge station, providing an 80% charge in 20-25minutes. Battery power is also reclaimed when running the combustion engine and braking.

Combine this with the low emissions from Mitsubishi's PHEV range and the lower lifetime maintenance cost of PHEVs when compared to traditional combustion engines and EVs, and all the benefits of PHEVs continue to pile up.
