The 2027 Mitsubishi Eclipse Sportback will fast-charge from 10% to 80% state of charge in approximately 35 minutes at rates up to 150 kW, according to newly released charging specifications. Mitsubishi Motors North America detailed the charging protocols this week, ahead of the electric subcompact SUV’s launch across North America in fall 2026. The battery electric vehicle, which made its global debut earlier this summer, is sourced from Alliance partner Nissan Motor Co. and based on the next-generation Nissan LEAF.
Highlights
- NACS compatibility is standard equipment on all Eclipse Sportback models, providing access to the Tesla Supercharger network
- Peak DC fast-charging capability of 150 kW supports a 10% to 80% charge in roughly 35 minutes
- A separate SAE J1772 plug handles Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging at home and elsewhere
- A 75 kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack is standard across the lineup
What Charging Standards Does the Eclipse Sportback Use?
The Eclipse Sportback carries two charging interfaces. Every model comes with SAE’s North American Charging System (NACS) as standard equipment, opening access to Tesla’s Supercharger network for Level 3 DC fast charging. A separate J1772 plug covers Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, whether at home or at public destination chargers.
| Charging level | Connector | Capability |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | SAE J1772 | Home and other AC charging situations |
| Level 2 | SAE J1772 | Home and other AC charging situations |
| Level 3 (DC fast) | NACS | Up to 150 kW; 10%–80% in approximately 35 minutes |
Mitsubishi notes that charging time and capacity may vary depending on the power source, ambient temperature, battery temperature, battery condition and age, and whether vehicle accessories are in use while charging.
A 75 kWh Liquid-Cooled Battery Pack
The standard battery is a 75 kWh lithium-ion pack. Mitsubishi says the pack is liquid-cooled to support charging efficiency, maximize range, and extend service life. The company has not yet published a range figure for the Eclipse Sportback.
Styling Separates It From the LEAF
The subcompact SUV carries unique front and rear fascias that echo other vehicles in Mitsubishi Motors’ global lineup, along with distinct front and rear lights and lighting signatures, sporty alloy wheels, and the brand’s Triple Diamond badging.
Where the Eclipse Sportback Fits in Momentum 2030
The EV is positioned as the next step in Mitsubishi’s Momentum 2030 business plan, which names electrification as one of four key pillars alongside a renewed and expanded product lineup, a modernized retail sales model, and a strengthened partnership with the dealer network. An all-new rugged, off-road derivative of the Outlander SUV will join the Eclipse Sportback in early 2027.
Mitsubishi says additional information about the Eclipse Sportback EV will follow.
