What is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s battery degradation rate?

I am considering purchasing a used 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, but I’d like to know roughly how much capacity the battery has lost since the vehicle was built. What is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s battery degradation rate?

In the case of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, expect a battery degradation rate of anywhere between 2% and 4% per year.
In the official sense, Mitsubishi estimates that the battery in the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will lose roughly 20% of its total charge capacity within the battery’s projected lifespan of 8 to 10 years, making for a degradation rate of about 2% per year.
Unfortunately, this isn’t often the reality, as many customers have seen between a 30% and 40% drop in capacity during that very time frame, which would push the degradation rate closer to 4% per year.
Of course, the rate of battery degradation depends on several factors, including:
  • Driving/charging habits
  • The local climate
  • Typical driving conditions
Which means the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s battery degradation rate can vary drastically even between vehicles produced within the same model year.
Hybrid vehicles like the Outlander PHEV are typically more expensive to insure than their gas-only counterparts—fortunately,
