Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV EV charger: which one fits best?
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV charges at home at a maximum of 3.7 kW, through a Type 1 connection. That is a deliberately calm charging speed. The battery holds 13.8 kWh, so it is full again in about four hours. A heavier charger does not charge this car any faster.
This page covers the generation sold from 2019 to 2022, with the 13.8 kWh battery and the Type 1 inlet. See all Mitsubishi EV chargers in our overview.
For the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV we recommend a charger from our 7.4 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger fits the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV?
Because the Outlander PHEV never charges faster than 3.7 kW, you are not buying speed. A single-phase charger from the 7.4 kW class already delivers everything the car takes. Single-phase means the current comes in over one wire, which is what this car uses.
Do you expect a fully electric car in the next few years? Then an 11 kW EV charger is worth considering right away. It charges your Outlander at the same 3.7 kW, but it is ready for a faster car later. That does require a three-phase supply at home, so check your fuse box first.
Pick a charger with a built-in MID meter either way. That is a certified kWh meter which records exactly how much you charge. From 2026, private drivers in the Netherlands earn back up to 500 euros a year through their energy supplier. That only works with such a meter, and the scheme runs in the Netherlands only. Elsewhere the certified reading is what your employer or leasing company accepts.
Start with the 7.4 kW EV chargers. You can filter on the certified meter directly in the chargers with a MID meter. For a first installation without complications, the home chargers are the simplest starting point.
Important for this car: the Outlander PHEV has a Type 1 inlet, while chargers use Type 2. Choose a charger with a socket rather than a fixed cable, plus a matching type 1 to type 2 charging cable.
How long does the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV take to charge?
A full charge takes roughly four hours on a 3.7 kW charger. Through an ordinary wall socket at 2.3 kW it takes longer, around six hours. Plug the car in during the evening and you drive off fully electric the next morning. The battery is small, so the difference between a wall charger and a portable one is modest. The convenience of a fixed unit on the wall is the real gain.
Other versions and Mitsubishi models
Do you drive a different Mitsubishi? Wallbox Discounter also has charging information for the other models:
- Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV, the newer plug-in hybrid SUV
- Mitsubishi i-MiEV, the compact fully electric city car
We always advise having the connection made by a certified electrician. That is safer and it matters for your insurance. In the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium you order the charger including installation. For Germany you request a free quotation first. We ship worldwide, but in other countries you arrange a local electrician yourself.
Frequently asked questions about the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV charger
Does the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV need a three-phase connection?
Not for the car itself. The Outlander PHEV charges at 3.7 kW over a single phase at 16 A, which any standard fuse box handles. Three phases only pay off if you buy a faster car later, or if you install an 11 kW charger now for that car.
Why does a MID meter matter for my Outlander PHEV?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter inside the charger. It shows exactly how much power your car takes at home, separately from the rest of the household. In the Netherlands private drivers need one for the national scheme that starts in 2026. Employers and leasing companies accept the same certified readings for reimbursement.
