hybrid highway: all-wheel pheving

Mitsubishi Olander PHEV is about to land in Canada and will be the first 4x4 plug
Mixed CUV in Vancouver
A small group of car writers on the West Coast had the opportunity to accept Canada\'s top four promises last weekwheel-drive plug-
The hybrid CUV made a turn around Stanley Park.
Although the route is short, the sky is gray and the vehicle is European.
It looks quite different from the spec models that will be sold here later next year, which is still an exciting experience.
Really.
Mitsubishi Olander plug-
In hybrid vehicles, most of its power system technology is based on the iMiEV of the car manufacturer.
Different from all this.
Electric vehicles, in addition to the four electric vehicles, Olander PHEV also has a gasoline engine
In this case, a 2. 0-litre four-
Similar to the cylinder used in RVR and the cavalry.
Olander PHEV was listed in Japan in last January and is currently available in Asia, Russia and Europe.
As of June, about 33,000 vehicles had been sold, accounting for more than half of Europe.
John Arnone of Mitsubishi Canada believesC.
It will be the strongest European PHEV market in the country.
\"The British Columbia Bucks team is the national sales trend, with outsiders ranking first in the province.
He said he pointed out that in other parts of the country, RVR followed lanther. B. C.
In particular, the Vancouver Metro is also a strong market for all kinds of electric vehicles,
This is evidenced by the expanding network of charging stations.

PHEVs is not fresh for Canadians as some automakers have been selling plugs
Hybrid cars are now more than a year old.
Including Chevrolet Volt, Cadillac ELR, Toyota Prius PHEV and Ford, C-
Here are Energi and Fusion Energi.
The new feature of this car is all-
Wheel Drive aspect, provided by an electric motor connected to all four wheels.
The rear motor is the same as the one used on the iMiEV, while the front motor is specifically designed for CUV.
Different from the traditional
The wheel drives the vehicle and there is no drive to connect the front and rear axle, which means that the mechanical loss is reduced.
PHEV, a foreigner, has three features.
Driver Mode automatically selected by PHEV computer system.
In pure electric mode, the battery supplies power to the four motors that drive the wheels, and the total horsepower output is calculated to be 80.
The electric vehicle model is suitable for urban driving with an hourly speed of 120 kilometers. under these conditions, the electric vehicle will keep driving about 52 kilometers (
Note: This number is 2014 euros-
Specification model, Mitsubishi is not able to determine the range of 2016 Olander PHEV that will be sold in Canada. )
After the battery has dropped to about 33 cents, the gasoline engine will start to charge all vehicles to keep the electric car mode.
This situation describes the second drive mode, in series hybrid mode where the four wheels are still driven by the motor and the battery is charged by a generator driven by a gasoline engine.
When it takes more than 80 hp at speeds below 120 km/h, this mode starts
A hard acceleration that is stationary or accelerated on a highwayramp —
When the battery is dead, the vehicle is traveling at a speed below 64 km/h.
The maximum horsepower output in the series hybrid mode is calculated up to 160.
The third mode is a parallel hybrid mode in which the gas engine powers the front wheels directly and the rear motor is used for additional power and acceleration.
The calculated horse force in this mode is 200 and engages at a speed above 120 km/h, and when the battery is empty, engages at a speed above 64 km/h.
Like all hybrid cars, CUV also has regenerative braking, but thanks to the motor of four wheels, it is more powerful than the system of two wheels
Wheel Drive PHEVs.
Again, a unique and intelligent paddle
The shift brake system allows the driver to manually select the strength of the regenerative brake in the range from zero to five.
Most of Mitsubishi\'s I-
MiEV motor system in the Outlander PHEV.
The optional PHEV features of other drives include two buttons on the center console: battery save mode and battery charge mode.
The former keeps the battery charging at the ideal level for optimal electric vehicle driving, and when the charging level drops below that level, the gas engine turns on and the engine turns off when that level is reached.
The latter, when pushed, will automatically start the gas engine, charging up to 80 cents for the battery.
As for the time spent charging on a 120 v system using an external power cord at home or charging station, its 6. 5 hours;
Work 4 hours on 240 v charger;
It takes only 30 minutes to get on the dcadvv charger.
As mentioned, we only did a few kilometers in the euro.
Spec models, all of which are below 65 km/h, which means that pure electric car mode is the norm unless we press the battery charge button or really step on the throttle.
Although the driving time is short, it seems that Olander PHEV is a very delicate and good one.
Handling vehicles, no lack of acceleration when needed, and a good quiet driving experience.
All in all, a very neat PHEV system and a package that will attract those looking for a very economical working day commuter who can go to the mountains as a solid and capable weekend fighter
The price and specifications of Canadian models will not be available in another year, and it is expected that the first models will be launched in the exhibition hall in the fall of 2015.
