If Electric Vehicle could master energetic performance of SUV, it will develop fun of the car of all sorts. Such idea has resulted in this Plug-in Hybrid EV with powerful twin motors. Large capacity battery brought quiet and clean driving of Electric Vehicle in various scenes. Driving range become much broader with the petrol engine, which generate electric power and also assists driving powerfully. Plug-in Hybrid EV expands the potential of automotive, going further with gentle driving of Electric Vehicle and reliable performance and utility of SUV.
In daily life scene, it drives in EV mode with large capacity battery. On suburban long touring for weekend, engine generates electricity and occasionally drives directly on high speed. Mitsubishi Plug-in Hybrid EV system expands the driving range of Electric Vehicle.
-
- In residential area, quiet EV mode works with noiseless twin motor. On daily use such as shopping or commuting, it works as Electric Vehicle.
-
- When traction battery is getting low or charge-mode-switch is on, engine start to generate, that drives motor and charges battery while driving.
-
- On high speed, engine drives the vehicle directly. Occasionally twin motor assists driving with the electricity of traction battery to achieves powerful driving for long distance.
