Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Charging Cables

Mitsubishi's UK plug-in range is small, and the cable choice is correspondingly simple: the current Outlander PHEV and the Eclipse Cross PHEV both charge on the universal Type 2 (Mode 3) connector at 7kW or below, which is the same lead nearly every other modern EV in the UK takes.

Connector check: early Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs use Type 1 (J1772). Newer Outlanders and the Eclipse Cross PHEV use Type 2. Check your model year before ordering.

Choosing the right cable for your Mitsubishi

Mitsubishi's UK EV history is dominated by the Outlander PHEV, the best-selling plug-in hybrid in the UK from 2014 to about 2020. Cable compatibility for Outlander owners depends entirely on which generation: Mk1 (2014-2018) is Type 1 + CHAdeMO; Mk2 (2019-2024) switched to Type 2. The other Mitsubishi EVs in UK history are smaller-volume but still on the road.

Connector spec by model

  • Outlander PHEV (Mk1, 2014-2018): Type 1 AC + CHAdeMO DC. AC capped at 3.6kW (16A single-phase).
  • Outlander PHEV (Mk2, 2019-2024): Type 2 AC + CHAdeMO DC. AC at 3.6kW.
  • i-MiEV (2010-2014): Type 1 + CHAdeMO. 3.6kW AC. Pure-EV city car, low-volume.
  • Eclipse Cross PHEV (2021+): Type 2 + CHAdeMO. 3.6kW AC.

The Outlander PHEV Type 1 vs Type 2 cliff

If you have a Mk1 Outlander PHEV (2014-2018), you have Type 1, the older square 5-pin plug. Quick check: open the front-left charge port flap and look at the connector shape. Square = Type 1. Hexagonal = Type 2. The 2018 facelift switched everything to Type 2, so Mk2 Outlanders (2019+) need Type 2 cables.

3.6kW AC max: the Outlander limit

Every UK Outlander PHEV (both generations) caps at 3.6kW AC (16A single-phase). Don't buy a 7kW or 22kW cable expecting faster charging, the car's onboard charger is the bottleneck, not the cable. A 3.6kW cable is the right pairing: same physical Type 1 or Type 2 connector, just lower current rating, lower price.

3.6kW means about 12-15 miles of range per hour added at home. The Outlander PHEV's 13-15kWh battery (depending on year) refills 0-100% in about 4 hours on a 3.6kW wallbox. PHEV owners typically don't need overnight charging windows; the battery is small enough to top up after work.

CHAdeMO DC charging

Both Outlander generations use CHAdeMO for DC rapid charging, getting a 0-80% top-up in about 25 minutes. CHAdeMO is being phased out across the UK rapid network as new chargers move to CCS. As of 2026, finding CHAdeMO-compatible rapids requires Zap-Map or Plugshare filtering. For Outlander owners on long journeys, plan rapid stops in advance.

See our CHAdeMO cables for legacy support.

Length recommendations

Outlander charge ports are at the front-left under a flap. Cable runs are slightly different from typical rear-port cars:

  • 5m if the wallbox is forward of the parking spot.
  • 7.5m for typical UK driveways with a garage-mounted wallbox.
  • 10m+ for awkward layouts.

What we stock for Mitsubishi

  • Type 1 cables (5-25m) for Mk1 Outlander, i-MiEV.
  • Type 2 cables (5-30m) at 3.6kW rating for Mk2 Outlander, Eclipse Cross PHEV.
  • 3-pin granny chargers: Type 1 and Type 2 variants. Useful PHEV backup for second homes.
  • CHAdeMO cables and adapters for legacy DC service.

PHEV-specific charging strategy

The Outlander PHEV is unusual in that it's a PHEV with both Type 2 AC and CHAdeMO DC, most UK PHEVs are AC-only. This makes the Outlander surprisingly versatile for occasional long journeys (top up at a CHAdeMO station instead of running the petrol engine). For daily home use, a 3.6kW wallbox is plenty, overnight charging on Octopus Go's 5p tariff costs ~30p for a full charge.

Questions

Will this cable work with my Mitsubishi?
Check the port before you order. Mitsubishi is one of the few brands where it genuinely differs between models: the Outlander PHEV uses Type 1 (square, 5-pin), while the Eclipse Cross PHEV uses Type 2 (hexagonal, 7-pin). Look at the inlet on the car, or put your registration into the finder at the top of this page and we will read it from DVLA data.
What length cable should I get for my Mitsubishi?
10m suits most UK home setups. 5m if your wallbox is right next to where you park. 15-25m for awkward driveway layouts.
What rating? 7kW or 22kW?
Match to your wallbox. UK home wallboxes are mostly 7kW (32A single-phase). 22kW only relevant if you have a three-phase supply.
Do you sell granny cables for this car?
Yes: see our granny chargers range. Order the one that matches your car's port - Type 1 for the Outlander PHEV, Type 2 for the Eclipse Cross PHEV.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock items ship same-day if ordered before 16:00 on a working day. Standard delivery is next-working-day across mainland UK. Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and remote Highlands take 2-3 working days. Free delivery on orders over £150.
