The internal combustion engine is connected to the rotation of the front wheels using a continuously variable gearbox, the gear ratio of which corresponds to approximately the fifth or sixth gear of conventional gearboxes, so it only comes into operation at high speed.
The rest of the time, the Outlander PHEV runs on electric traction, which, of course, can and should be replenished. To do this, a traction battery with a capacity of 12 kW / h, consisting of 90 cells, is hidden in the floor of the SUV. It can be fully charged from a network with a voltage of 220V and a current of 10 amperes in five hours. It is possible and faster – in three hours, but for this you need a special 16-amp charger. Well, at a 300-volt station, you can charge the battery by 80% in just 30 minutes.
Everything seems to be the same as before, but the Outlander PHEV has at least one major innovation. The Japanese equipped it with a bidirectional power supply system based on V2H (Vehicle to Home) technology, which combines the home network and the electrical system (a parked car can be used to supply electricity from a traction battery to the home network). What’s more, by connecting the Outlander PHEV to a source of solar or other renewable energy, you can use electricity in your home more environmentally and efficiently.
