Electric Cars & Hybrid Models
For decades, Mitsubishi has been at the forefront of creating emissions-reducing technologies, electric cars, and hybrid vehicles designed to preserve and sustain the global environment. In recent years, with the production of Outlander PHEV, Mitsubishi has focused on Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle technology—pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with hybrids.
Mitsubishi i-MiEV & Our Eco History
In 2009, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV was introduced to multiple markets worldwide as the very first highway-capable electric car. This unique Mitsubishi electric car made its U.S. debut a short time later, in 2012, under the name Mitsubishi I, and was named “Greenest Vehicle of the Year” by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy.
The i-MiEV was named after the technology that helped bring the car to life: Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle (MiEV) technology. The result of four decades of research, MiEV technology is an integrated management system that optimizes the flow of energy throughout the car, distributes incoming energy from the regenerative brakes, and continually regulates the output from the battery.
Simply put, MiEV is an automatic co-pilot that ensures all systems are, well, green. While the Mitsubishi i-MiEV is no longer available in North America, Mitsubishi is proud to continue its sustainability efforts with Outlander PHEV.
Why Go Electric
Environment is generally top of mind for most Mitsubishi electric car and hybrid vehicle drivers—and for good reason since they cut emissions significantly—but the lure of electric cars doesn’t stop there.
Cash Savings
With fewer fill-ups, tax incentives, and a higher resale value, hybrid and electric cars save you money over time.
Instant Torque
With electric drivetrains, there’s no need to rev up an engine. Torque is instant. And so is acceleration.
Quiet & Smooth
In electric cars—or hybrids running in EV mode—a faint hum replaces engine noises. Talk to passengers in your inside voice.
HOV Lane Access
In many states, EVs and hybrids—including Outlander PHEV— qualify for the carpool lane. Enjoy your commute!
