Outlander PHEV Sub-Zero Operation Question

[PHEV07]

I am curious how you got a response from Mitsubishi. I have been trying and can't get anyone in USA to respond, I left email requests on their web site and tried calling their main line. This has been discouraging as I have had Mitsubishi products for over 20 years and they were all fantastic vehicles, all reliable and some living long ( more than 240K miles) lives.
I wonder what happens when the PHEV is plugged in outside in -30C ( -22F) temps? Could the trickle charge, assuming it is fully charged, be enough to raise the battery temperature?

I cannot comment on Mitsubishi Corporation responding to emails Phone calls or letter but can comment on the Battery Temperature increasing whole trickle charging.

Simple answer is NO.

We are presently getting temperatures of between -5 to -9'C and I have been checking the Battery Terature on the car Screen and when I compare tge Battery Terature prior to charging and 3/4 of full charge on Level 2, the Battery Temperature gauge only increase a small amount.

When driving and Heat Pump on, tgs Vattery Temperature does not increase at all.

I will try to post some photos tge next time I place car on charge.

Tge software upgrade will do nothing to allow warm up thd Battery.

The 2023 to 2025 PHEV may fail to start when Temperatures reach -30'C and lower because they do not have an Interior Main Battery Resistive Heater.
