The 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander’s big battery makes it a BEV alternative

Charge it every night and you may only ever run the engine on road trips.

@arstechnica Interesting although I was a bit surprised at the (to me) low miles/kwH. My RAV4 Prime has been turning in 3.2 to 3.3 since purchase.

Also I second the caution that you need to run a tank of gas every 3 months or you risk really messing up your engine.

@arstechnica 20kWh is still small for a BEV, so I’m not sure if it really changes anything compared to other plugin hybrids, which also need at-home charging to be practical.

@arstechnica Not sorry, the light and grille design look like a goatse.

@arstechnica the gas will go bad and you need to change the oil. It is such a complex setup.
