Though Mitsubishi Motors had previously committed to the all electric auto as being its answer for future offerings, its inefficiencies when used in larger vehicles has led the automaker to jump on the hybrid bandwagon.



Unlike other automakers, the company's approach is to base its hybrid vehicles upon it all-electric architecture as opposed to developing a whole new system. Such a philosophy, it hopes, will reduce development time and costs, and creating a system more electric-oriented in terms of usage.

Thus the future Mitsubishi hybrid will be using a plug-insystem as well its own Li Ion battery design. It will be an electric first hybrid, its gas motor becoming secondary.

Our take? A hybrid Evo could be interesting,like having your cake and eating it too.
