Public charging the Outlander PHEV

There two types of public chargers for your PHEV.

The CHAdeMO fast Charger. This is a DC charger and will charge your car from 0 to 80% in 20-25min. No need to bring a cable as the charging station has this hard wired. Some early 2013 Models don’t have this charge port.

Type 2 Public charger These are A.C chargers commonly found in malls, car park buildings, hotels and motels. Some of these Type 2 AC chargers have cables attached and some you will need to bring your own cable. You can check Plugshare to see if there is a cable attached or if the charger is BYO cable.
