The PHEV system fitted to the Outlander PHEV is one of the most advanced available today. It
utilises three distinct driving modes that are automatically selected depending on the driving
conditions and the battery charge level. The changes between modes are virtually seamless, so the
instrument cluster in front of the driver includes a display showing when each mode is engaged and
the flow of energy.
WHAT ARE THE KEY FEATURES OF THE PLUG-IN HYBRID EV SYSTEM?
EV DRIVE MODE
The vehicle is driven purely by the electric motors using the electricity
stored in the drive battery. The driver display uses an arrow to indicate
the flow of energy from the battery to the motors.
SERIES HYBRID MODE
When the drive battery level is low or when powerful thrust is required
during rapid acceleration, the battery is supplemented with electricity
generated by the petrol engine. The flow of energy in Series Hybrid
mode is displayed on the instrument cluster.
PARALLEL HYBRID MODE
During high-speed driving the petrol engine operates more efficiently
than pure electric power, so the front wheels are driven directly by the
engine and assisted by the electric motors. The arrow on the display
changes colour to indicate that the petrol engine is directly connected
to the wheels.
PLUG-IN HYBRID EV SYSTEM
REGENERATIVE BRAKE SYSTEM
Similar to engine braking on traditional vehicles, the motors act as
generators when the accelerator pedal is released while driving. Kinetic
energy produced during this process is used to charge the drive battery.
This is particularly useful while driving downhill.
PLUG-IN MAINS CONNECTION
The drive battery can be charged by the petrol motor during normal
driving, but to obtain the most efficient and cost effective performance
the drive battery should be charged from the mains supply before your
journey. Additional charging during longer journeys, though not
necessary, will improve efficiency savings even further.
The drive battery can be charged via a dedicated 240V/13 Amp socket,
or preferably a professionally fitted 240V/16 Amp charge point.
Alternatively, the battery can also be charged to 80% capacity in 30
minutes utilising public rapid charge points that comply with the
CHAdeMO standard.
ROLES OF MOTORS AND ENGINE IN VARIOUS MODES
The intensity of regenerative braking can be increased or reduced
through six levels using the steering column-mounted paddles, or three
levels using the joystick selector lever.
In addition to these three main drive modes, the Outlander PHEV also benefits from two other important
features that improve driving efficiency even further.

CCID CONTROL BOX SUPPORT
When charging the Outlander PHEV using the cable supplied with the
vehicle, it is very important not to leave the control box hanging
from the plug – doing so can cause damage to the cable and the control
box itself. The loop on top of the control box should be used to safely
support its weight on a suitably positioned hook. Never use extension
cables or multi-plug adapters for charging your Outlander PHEV.

In addition to using the engine to charge the drive battery, it can also be charged from a charging source
using one of the three methods shown below, using the dedicated charge port on the vehicle.
*1: Charging time may vary depending on the condition of the battery, driving environment and the
specifications of the rapid charger.
*2: EVSE = Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment.
4. Insert the plug on the normal/fast charging cable into the mains supply (Fast charging stations may have
a tethered cable).
Avoid ‘top-up’ charging when the drive battery is already close to fully charged – repeatedly doing so can
reduce the efficiency of the battery.
5. Open the cap on the charge connector. Hold
the handle of the connector and, without
pressing the button, insert the connector until
it clicks.
Note: During charging the cooling fans under the bonnet may operate automatically even if the power switch is set to OFF.
6. Switch on the power at the mains supply. The
charging indicator on the instrument cluster
should illuminate. The charging indicator goes
out when charging is completed.
2. Insert the rapid charge connector into the rapid charge port to start charging. Follow the instructions of
the rapid charger manual for correct connection and disconnection of the charger.
3. The charging indicator on the instrument cluster should illuminate. The charging indicator goes out and
charging stops when an 80% charge level has been achieved.
