FAQ
1. What modelyears and versions of Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is PHEV Box compatible?
All. It does not matter if it is first (up to 2015) or second gen (2016+) of PHEV. The only difference is for using „ICEheaterStop” option in cars, where there is no electric heater.
2. Can it be detected by the dealer/car manufacturer?
No. There is no risk for warranty as it is undetectable.
3. Is that difficult to install PHEV Box?
No. You can do that within few minutes, without any car modification. Box uses factory plugs.
4. Is there any risk for battery?
No. Battery works with same maximum current as designed by factory. In fact, smoother power control and low speed reduced energy drain in ECO mode helps battery to be more durable (and thus – increases range). Using box is good for battery life.
5. Is the range increased?
Yes. You will observe up to 8% better range in pure EV mode. This is caused by more sophisticated and precise electric power applying. Battery is not drained to lower level, than factory designed (around 30% of real capacity).
6. Is there any gasoline saving in hybrid mode?
Yes. Because of re-programmed throttle curve, you will notice better mileage. Difference depends on style of driving, but is easily noticeable.
7. What is „ICEheaterStop” option?
ICEheaterStop optional connector samples internal temperature of the cabin and by controlling load demand for ICE it massively reduces ICE starts for heating in cold weather. Gasoline engine will work less than 30% of time, that it was working before. In many cases it won’t start at all. It is especially efficient if you commute – you will notice huge fuel savings. It is easy to install, no car modification is needed.
8. Can I add ICEheaterStop later?
Yes, all PHEV Boxes have port to connect ICEheaterStop optional unit.
9. Is that legal to use PHEV Box or ICEheaterStop option?
As there are no car permanent modifications, modifications of power, emissions, safety – there are no reasons for such solutions to be illegal (like for car alarms or other additional equipment).
