The electric adventure is gaining momentum on Quebec roads, and for owners of electrified vehicles, understanding charging options is essential. At Mitsubishi, the transition to electromobility is designed to be simple and efficient, thanks to the various charging stations available. Whether you own a pioneer like the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV or are considering switching to electric, knowing the charging levels (Level 1 and Level 2) will help you make the most of every kilometer.
The Level 1 charging station is the starting point for electromobility. It uses a standard 120-volt household outlet, the same one you use for your home appliances. For a Mitsubishi vehicle like the Outlander PHEV, this means unmatched accessibility: simply plug the cable provided with your vehicle into any wall outlet.
Its setup is the most economical, requiring no special installation beyond the existing outlet. Charging speed is modest, providing around 6 to 8 kilometers of range per hour of charging. It’s perfect for charging your Outlander PHEV overnight if your daily commutes are short, or for a top-up at the office. This is a simple and practical solution to maintain your vehicle’s charge.
The Level 2 charging station is the most common and efficient residential and public charging solution for your Mitsubishi vehicle. It requires a professional installation of a 240-volt circuit, similar to that of certain large household appliances.
These stations are significantly faster than Level 1, typically delivering 6 to 12 kilowatts of power. For a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, this translates to a full charge in about 4 to 8 hours, depending on the battery’s state of charge. This is the ideal solution to fully recharge your plug-in hybrid SUV overnight, ensuring you start every morning with maximum electric range. In Quebec, Hydro-Québec’s Electric Circuit deploys a vast network of public Level 2 chargers, and government grants are available to help with home installation, making this option very appealing to all EV drivers.
Comparing Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations for your vehicle comes down to balancing convenience, speed, and cost.
Understanding these options allows you to plan your charging strategy effectively, making the most out of your electric vehicle. Our Mitsubishi experts are here to answer all your charging questions and guide you toward the perfect vehicle.
