The driving range of the new Outlander PHEV, and the all-new model to sit between it and the ASX, will have an extended electric driving range, Mitsubishi President Mr Tetsuro Aikawa said today.
He would not be drawn on what the new range will be, but said that improvements in battery technology were behind the gains.

Other web posts suggest a timescale of as early as when the new 4 wheel drive ASX PHEV launches late next year (the Outlander PHEV is due also to launch in the USA),
or 2019-20 when new longer range fully electric Mitsubishi SUVs are launched.
There is a lot of speculation around, but the quote above is straight from the horse's mouth.
