The plug-in hybrid powertrain in the Eclipse Cross PHEV is excellent. It has been well-optimised to favour electric propulsion for every-day driving, which delivers excellent fuel economy and produces fewer emissions. Meanwhile, the internal combustion engine offers the benefit of range, reliability, with the contingency of being up to fill-up with petrol if you find yourself in a pinch.

A PHEV, or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle is a vehicle that has both a traditional combustion engine and electric motors. The electricity to drive the electric motors is stored in a battery that is able to be charged from an external source. It also is capable of using the combustion engine, braking and decelerating to charge the battery.
A PHEV is the best of both worlds, capitalising on the strength of both an EV and a classic hybrid. An EV has no combustion engine, and relies solely on the electricity stored in its battery. This means their practicality is limited by the range they are able to travel before needing to be plugged in to charge. A classic hybrid may have an all electric mode, but this is usually reserved for short distances at slow speeds (i.e. parking lots). They have a combustion engine, but lack the ability to be plugged in to charge, so rely on the engine solely to recharge their relatively small batteries.
To fully charge a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV at home takes about 7 hours and costs around $1.40 - $2. Fast Charging stations are about 25c per minute plus 25c/KWh, and would be required for 25 minutes, meaning it would cost approximately $10.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV has an EV range of up to 55km, allowing you to drive on battery power alone without the need for petrol. With support from the combustion engine, this is significantly extended, achieving a combined range of up to 660km.
No, the Eclipse Cross does not come in a classic hybrid, but comes in a PHEV, Plug-in Hybrid Electric version.
Using a standard NZ home power outlet, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV can be fully charged in approximately 7 hours. A fast charger will take about 25 minutes to charge the battery from 0 to 80%, and up to an hour to achieve a full charge.
