New to Mitsubishi

Looks great! Congratulations. I've been looking at the Outlander a bit. I'm curious, what other vehicles were you considering and what tipped it to the Mitsubishi for you?

Welcome to the forum @brentjs121. Congrats on the Outlander! What do you like/dislike about it so far? Has range been decent since you took delivery?

We, more like I, looked at the RAV 4 Phev, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq5, Volvo Phev, etc. What we really liked about the Outlander was the 38 mile range (my wife's office is 33 miles away-and has free level 2 charging ), the styling and most importantly, the SWAC. My wife loves it (it's her car). I love it too, but the type of work I do requires lots of driving to multiple locations. She goes to one place and then comes back home.

Thank you. I think we picked it up on April 7th. So far, the only dislike is the long time to charge. The included charger takes a long time, almost 14 hours to charge when the range is less than 9 miles. We took care of that yesterday though. We had a 240V/50 AMP line installed yesterday along with a Lectron 32A level 2 charging station-I know that is probably overkill, but better to use a charger that is not getting maxed out. That thing is great. It now takes between 4 and 6 hours to fully charge. On the likes, we like the massaging seats, panoramic roof, SWAC, Bose sound. etc. Mitsubishi knocked it out of the park on this one and I'm a Honda guy. I've owned 4 Ridgelines, 3 Accords, 1 Pilot. Honda's electronics can't touch this by a mile.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the 3rd row. That thing is a JOKE, LOL

Good stuff thanks for sharing. I think the onboard PHEV charger maxes out around 3.3 or 3.6kwh, so that is an EVSE that is 16A on 240V. But good to have an EVSE to future-proof yourself!
