The Outlander PHEV's Battery in the Sonoran Desert
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV uses a large lithium-ion battery pack to provide its impressive electric-only range. While Mitsubishi's thermal management is capable, the sustained high temperatures of a Phoenix summer put a unique strain on the system.
Frequent fast-charging or heavy EV use during the hottest part of the day can cause the battery to hold onto heat longer, which may lead to a temporary or permanent reduction in overall capacity and driving range.
Signs Your Mitsubishi Battery is Failing
Outlander owners should watch for a significant drop in their usual EV range or the 'EV System Service Required' message. If your car is frequently switching to the gasoline engine even when the battery indicator shows plenty of charge, it's a sign of a struggling pack.
You may also notice that the battery takes longer to charge than usual or that the air conditioning system (which is critical for cooling the battery) is not performing as well as it should.
