Estimated driving energy cost
Electric driving cost
- Electricity cost per kilometre
- about $0.02/km
- Energy use
- 18.7 kWh/100 km combined
Assumptions
- Electricity-rate assumption
- $0.12/kWh
- Annual distance assumption
- 15,000 km/year
- Province assumption
- British Columbia
- Source
- Manual electricity assumption
How calculated
18.7 kWh/100 km x $0.12/kWh / 100 = $0.02/km
Formula: kWh/100 km x electricity price per kWh / 100 = cost per km.
This estimates driving energy only, not total ownership cost. Actual fuel or electricity cost varies with prices, weather, driving, energy-source mix, and vehicle condition.
Vehicle charging
- NRCan-listed recharge time
- 7 hours
NRCan defines this as the estimated time to fully recharge the battery at 240 volts. The imported NRCan value does not specify charging power, connector, or a detailed starting and ending battery percentage. This is not a DC fast-charging estimate.
Daily driving and fast-charging reach
The rated electric range equals approximately 5.9 typical provincial commute days. This is a statistical comparison, not a prediction of how often an individual driver should charge.

Map distances
Range planning notice: The displayed reach starts with the vehicle’s listed rated range and is an estimate, not a guarantee. Real-world range can be reduced by driving speed and style, traffic, route and elevation, cold or hot weather, wind, rain or snow, cabin heating and air conditioning, passenger or cargo load, towing, tire type and pressure, battery age and condition, and starting charge. The circles show straight-line distance rather than driving distance; roads, detours, charger availability and a safe arrival reserve can further reduce how far you should plan to travel. Confirm your route, conditions, remaining charge and charging options before departure. Charging-station availability is not real-time.

Safety and crash protection
Review verified U.S. crash-test context and model-level Canadian recall information separately. Each source has different coverage and limitations.
U.S. crash-test rating
Safety rating unavailable
A verified NHTSA rating has not been matched to this exact model year and configuration.
NHTSA publishes crash-test ratings for U.S.-market vehicles. Electric Driver shows stars only after the corresponding Canadian vehicle has been reviewed and verified.

Recall 2019562 November 8, 2019 · Brakes Issue: On certain vehicles, the brake vacuum pump may fail. This can cause a hard brake pedal and an increase in brake pedal effort. If the brake vacuum pump fails, the brake warning light will turn on and an audible warning will sound. Safety Risk: A sudden increase in brake pedal effort could lead to an incre...

What Transport Canada reports
Issue: On certain vehicles, the brake vacuum pump may fail. This can cause a hard brake pedal and an increase in brake pedal effort. If the brake vacuum pump fails, the brake warning light will turn on and an audible warning will sound. Safety Risk: A sudden increase in brake pedal effort could lead to an increase in stopping distance. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mitsubishi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a new brake vacuum pump.
Recall 2017018 January 11, 2017 · Airbag On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a...

What Transport Canada reports
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.
Recall 2015419 September 23, 2015 · Airbag On certain vehicles, due to improper manufacturing, the electrical resistance inside the impact sensor for the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag system may have increased. As a result, abnormal communication may be detected by the ECU causing the SRS warning lamp to illuminate. If a vehicle is involved in a ...

What Transport Canada reports
On certain vehicles, due to improper manufacturing, the electrical resistance inside the impact sensor for the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bag system may have increased. As a result, abnormal communication may be detected by the ECU causing the SRS warning lamp to illuminate. If a vehicle is involved in a collision that warrants front, side, and/or curtain air bag deployment when the SRS warning lamp is illuminated, frontal air bag deployment could be delayed and/or the side and curtain air bag may not deploy. Failure of an airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the SRS impact sensor with a countermeasure unit.
Recall 2014377 September 5, 2014 · Brakes On certain vehicles, vacuum pump function could be affected by software defects and/or blockage of the pump exhaust hole. An inoperable vacuum pump would affect power brake system function, increasing brake pedal effort and potentially increasing stopping distances, which could increase the risk of a crash causing inj...

What Transport Canada reports
On certain vehicles, vacuum pump function could be affected by software defects and/or blockage of the pump exhaust hole. An inoperable vacuum pump would affect power brake system function, increasing brake pedal effort and potentially increasing stopping distances, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software and replace the vacuum pump as necessary. Note: In the event that the vacuum pump becomes inoperable, the brake warning lamp will illuminate and an audible warning will be heard.
Recall 2013025 January 25, 2013 · Brakes On certain vehicles, the brake system vacuum pump may have been manufactured incorrectly and could fail. Loss of brake power assist could increase stopping distances, possibly causing a crash resulting in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the brake vacuum pump.
