Are you a new owner of an EV or plug-in hybrid? Youâre probably overwhelmed with new information, like how your new vehicle works. It can be an adjustment to swap out fuel stations for charging stations; after all, thereâs a fuel station on nearly every corner of a city. Public charging stations are being built every day, but they arenât quite as visible as a large gas station. But that doesnât have to mean theyâre difficult to find! Finding your nearest EV charging station is fast and easy - and you can do it all right in your EV.
Steps for Finding a Public Charging Station
Brands like Mitsubishi want to make it simple for you to charge your EV or plug-in hybrid EV.
Before visiting a charging station, there are some things about your vehicle you should know. Most EVs and plug-in hybrid EVs use a universal charger, but certain automakers use their own specific charger cable. There are also different charging levels, and depending on which trim of Outlander Plug-In Hybrid you drive, you might need either a Level 2 or DC Fast Charger. Each level has a different charge time, so youâll need to plan your trip according to how long it takes your vehicle to charge. Once you know more about your vehicle, itâs time to start searching!
If youâre driving the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid, use the touchscreen display to find a charging station near you. First, go to the home menu. Then, tap on Info and locate EV. From there, you can find information about your vehicle, including charging stations. Tap the Charging Stations icon, which will bring you to the navigation screen with a list of all the nearest charging stations. Tap on the one you want, and youâre all set! Your built-in navigation can take you to your chosen station.
Some home charging brands will also give you access to their network of public charging stations, offering discounts and member-only access for shorter waits.Â
