Charging options for the new Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHEV

From factory the Eclipse comes with a Type 2 10A charger that will charge at 8 amps. This can take around 7 hours to provide a full charge. On a full charge you can expect around 55km all electric range. There are a couple of options for charging the Eclipse faster at home.

The 16A T2 charger with the Blue Cee plug. Great if you have a 16A socket. If you don’t have one get a quote from your local electrician to have one installed.
The other faster option are the wall mount chargers that can be mounted outside. such as the 32A Wall mounted charger or the Wall charger with Wifi
These chargers will only charge the Eclipse at 16a due to the limited of the onboard charger.

The 16A charger will suit most peoples needs and will charge your Eclipse XLS and VRX from 20% to 80% in around 2.8 hours.
