Electric technology. It’s in our DNA
EV HISTORY
Electric past, present and future
We are pioneers in vehicle electrification
In 2009, we launched the i-MiEV, the first ever mass-produced electric vehicle. More recently, we’ve been developing plug-in hybrid technology. A hybrid electric vehicle uses both a petrol engine and an internal battery as its main sources of power. But a Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV) has a battery which can be recharged from the mains. Our research and development in this area resulted in the 2013 launch of the OUTLANDER PHEV. In 2017 we introduced the e-Evolution concept car, which shows we’re already thinking about the future.

PHEV SYSTEM
A vehicle that thinks for itself
PERFORMANCE
Cleaner. Quieter. Smoother
Better for the environment
Because our PHEV system harnesses electric power more often, and the 2.4-litre atkinson cycle engine is highly efficient, our PHEV vehicles have ultra-low CO2 emissions: 40g/km (NEDC) and 46g/km (WLTP).
S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control)
This integrated control system is only available from Mitsubishi Motors. It delivers incredible power and control by managing several on-board systems all at once: AYC (Active Yaw Control), ASC (Active Stability Control) with Traction Control and ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). This means the Twin Motor 4WD system is working at its best, without compromising safety, comfort or fuel efficiency.
A new Drive Mode makes S-AWC even better because it lets you choose the best setting for your road conditions:
Less noise. More green

Ways to Charge
Charging is easy
4HRS
Dedicated Home Charger
A dedicated home charger is one that is installed outside your home by a trained electrician.
5.5HRS
Regular Charger
The drive battery can be charged via a standard Irish wall socket via the 3-pin "Granny Cable" charger which we recommend uses a dedicated electrical circuit, checked by a qualified electrician. 7 hours for 230V 8A.
25MINS
Quick Charger
A fast charger can provide up to 80% charge in as little as 25 minutes, making them the quickest way to charge in Ireland. Commonly found at motorway service stations and close to major roads.
4HRS
Public Charger
You'll find Public Chargers in supermarket car parks, shopping centres and anywhere else a car can be left for an extended period – sometimes even workplaces.
The ESB Charging Station Finder App
Recharge your batteries while the car recharges
The ESB Charging Station Finder App (ecar connect) will help you find your nearest charging location. If you hook up to a rapid charger, you can stop for coffee or a bite to eat and 25 minutes later, you'll have up to 80% charge.
The easy way to find charging stations
Find more than 40,000 charging points across Europe with the latest available information. The EV Charging Station Finder App works on your iPhone*. It works on AndroidTM smartphone as well, and also through Android AutoTM on the on-board MMC Smartphone Link Display Audio (SDA). You can either search for chargers based on your current location or by choosing a location. The app will also tell you whether the charging point is available or occupied.

Innovation
See what the future holds
We've been pioneers for over 100 years, it's part of our DNA. So too is the need to innovate. This means we'll continue to develop greener, more sustainable vehicles which offer greater protection and make driving fun and pleasurable. Just like our e-EVOLUTION concept car.
