And this includes: 1. Leaving the vehicle outside and trying to start it after a few hours 2. Using the heater to warm up the cabin via the App (when below -15C) 3. Showing us how it handles sending warm air through the rear AC vents
Big improvement over the MY2018, where you can't run the car while having it plugged in to use any HVAC. The only "get around" I found was to turn the car off, lock yourself inside and then activate the WiFi phone App and run a heating/defrost cycle, which just cranks it up to 11 for the next 10~30min. Bad part is you have no control over the temperature setting, and opening any door immediately cancels the whole operation. As an addendum: does this same design work during CHAdeMO DC fast charging?
answered my question perfectly, i guess you would have to play with the settings to figure out what you need etc. we're thinking of buying one for road trip, sleeping in the car at caravan sites, plug in the car to charge battery while we sleep with minimal aircon great to know :)
So useful thank you! I never used to use the manual but with these new cars, you almost need to. Now, can you heat the car when you're not plugged in (say in a parking lot) with battery only, AND without using the app. For example, if I decided not to renew app, can I still run to the car and warm the cabin without starting the engine?
Wow very informative, got me wondering if charging outside during winter will that increase your charging time and does it shorten your electric range during the winter ?
batteries dont like either too hot or too cold temps. both impact the charge times and range. Easiest test, when its below 10 in winter try charging your phone from say 30% to 80% note the time down. Now try same test while inside your warm dwelling. You will see the difference right away. Once charged to 80% take your phone outside start watching some videos see the charge drop in 30 mins and try same activity inside your dwelling same videos etc. when phone is warm, you will get your answers, easy test without needing to even own a phev. Vehicles have battery warmers/cooling systems built but to run those need source of energy it either comes from battery itself or gas, so all in all things get impacted by temperature for charging times and range.
Great video, thank you. Now, does the 2024 also use a heat pump or is the heater resistive. If heat pump, is it pute heat pump or is resistive heating also used?
@@PauloOliveira-C4G If the Heat Pump does not work at temps below -15'C, then how does one Heat the interior when the temp drops to -30'C? I live in Winnipeg. Will the 2023 and 2024 be able to be driven at Temps below -20'C? I have been reading that both the 2023 and 2024 are not drivable at low Temps. That even the ICE will not turn on. I owned a 2018 and now a 2022 and am able to drive even when it hit -35'C the last couple of years. I have been away to Mexico in Jan for 1 month, leave car unplugged and the Battery heater works well, Automatically. When I return 1/4 of my battery SOC is used up and there are icicles present at the front of the rear Drivers side tire, under the read door. Does the 2023 or 2024 keep tge Battery warm in cold Temps, or does the car turn into a brick. This concerns me as I was thinking of upgrading but I will not upgrade to a brick when the Temps drop to less than -20'C. Can someone chime in please? Is this true?
Hello, great video! A quick question: does the 2024 PHEV Outlander contain a battery heater, a much-needed component for cold climates to ensure the vehicle turns on. Though the Mitsubishi’s website advertises a battery heater with the 2023 Outlander PHEV, owner’s manuals may indicate that the battery does not come with a battery heater. If a vehicle’s battery is too cold, the absence of a battery heater may prevent the vehicle from starting up or turning on even the ICE. Thank you. I haven't found an owner's manual online for the 2024 to check on this. I'd appreciate your opinion on this. Cheers.
It does not, and I don't think Mr. Mitsubishi will even reply to your message OR express his thoughts about the below average performance of this vehicle in extreme Canadian cold weather.
Hi. Can you please make a video and show us what's the difference between 2023 and 2024 SEL models. Any major changes? I am getting a great deal on the closeout 2023 model.
I went to dealer yesterday and was told that 2024's have better tires. All 2024 models comes with Bridgestone tires. Previous models had cheap Toyo tires
can the outlander pHEV run heat or AC without charging the battery without turning on the engine (assuming the "drive battery" is 100% full) kinda of like the Rav4 Prime (room mode) ..
depends entirely on how expensive electricity is where you live but 2 bucks a month is ludicrous unless you can charge it for free 95 percent of the time. where I live, electricity is fairly pricey (around 25-30 cents/kWh CDN) so a full charge is right around 5 bucks give or take. still much cheaper than gas and once a week or so I can usually find a place to charge it for free or cheap.
@@drzoidberg1The heat pump will work until -15C outside - but I agree it's not useful at all for many parts of Canada where temperatures will definitely go below this during parts of the winter season. This alongside the fact that this vehicle won't start at all when temperatures are below -27C makes me wonder how on Earth Mitsubishi engineers thought this could be a suitable car for Canadian weather (ask Albertans and Manitobans how many of them got stranded because of that during 2023/2024 winter season).
You can definitely turn the HVAC on from the app. But there's a catch: under -15C the heat pump won't start, so if your vehicle is outside you will get to it and it will be freezing cold inside. The car doesn't have the ability to automatically turn the engine off to produce heat if the heat pump is unable to work (as mentioned, under -15C).
Yeah, the big transformer thingy at the male end of the plug is quite robust and waterproof. All the same, I actually made a small wooden cover for mine, as it has to sit sort of close to my eavestrough and I didn't want it to freeze to the ground. But I definitely wouldn't worry about it getting rained/snowed on. The "car" end of the cable is pretty standard plastic and clicks into the port nice and snug, though there is no other covering for it (which is the same as any other electric/PHEV I've seen). I went online and got a fabric sort of sock cover that shields the whole charging port and the cable, just to keep the snow out of it, it was like 30 bucks.
Please, now take the Outlander PHEV to a -30C place in Northern BC and show us how it can handle extreme cold!

1. Leaving the vehicle outside and trying to start it after a few hours

Thank you so much for answering my question!
Just bought a 2024 from these guys. If you're on the fence, go for it. Loving this car so far.

glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching.
Is this true for the older version of the Outlander PHEV?
Thank you for sharing precious infos.

I’m curious if you can turn the ac/heater on for the whole night like tesla’s camping mode.
I don't think so. There is no special mode for it.
@@mr.mitsubishi are there any workarounds? With the settings in the video, will the AC/Heather work the whole night?
Is there any indication on the dashboard regarding the progress of the battery charging
How long does it take to start blowing out heat compared to a standard non ev/phev vehicle?
Timed charging possible on this new PHEV? Please do.a video
You can schedule it, yes.
Great video, thank you.

By the phone app, Can you heat by using the charging energy only without using the battery?

same cars
same car only difference is that you get kick tailgate on the sel in 2024
I went to dealer yesterday and was told that 2024's have better tires. All 2024 models comes with Bridgestone tires. Previous models had cheap Toyo tires
2 things: hand free power tailgate and wireless charger on the 24s starting from LE
Oh another, around $1150 MSRP more than 23s.
In the summer, is it normal for the battery to start/run a bit warmer - e.g. above the mid point.
Probably
Can you use the app to start the engine while charging ?
Yes
My 2023 seems to always start engine when heat is turned on. Is that only true if in auto?
Weird..
can the outlander pHEV run heat or AC without charging the battery without turning on the engine (assuming the "drive battery" is 100% full) kinda of like the Rav4 Prime (room mode) ..
Not sure, haven’t tested that
Whats the best way to only use battery when heating?
have a nice warm blanket, and hot coffee and run only music off the battery !
Great feature if you are doing car camping
Absolutely
Can you use both lvl 1 and 2 chargers at the same time?
1 at a time :)
does it cost that much to charge a phev? I'm seeing comments that it only costs roughly $2 a month? is this true?

@@adamcoe do you notice if the consumption increase in winter month?
But you can't turn the heat on from the phone app so the usefulness of this ability is really limited.
Uh, yes you definitely can.
The phone app turns the heat pump on but it's not rated to provide heat in sub zero temperatures. So the usefulness is limited in colder climates.

Only works if you're in the car. Will not work from the phone app
