PLEASE NOTE: I made a mistake and said that this car has a CVT. It doesn't however the driving experience when the engine is on can feel a lot like a CVT car. Sorry about the mistake!

So what is a plug in hybrid or PHEV? This is a video review of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, a car that I have owned and driven for over 23000 miles. It's a big, solid, well-built practical family car designed to save fuel and to help the environment but without any of the range anxiety often suffered by drivers of pure electric cars.

If you are new to the world of EV driving then this video explains the concept of a plug in hybrid electric car. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is one of the world's most successful plug in hybrid cars featuring a small battery and a petrol engine.

But, is it still relevant and a good concept in 2020 several years after the original version was released!? We will find out in this video!
