So, my PHEV limits DCFC charging to 19kW, and recommends using AC charging most of the time as mostly-DC charging will wear the battery faster.

A dealership down the road from my Mitsubishi dealer advertises a public 19kW Level 2 AC charger; would using that cause the same wear and tear as a 19kW DCFC? It seems like that is probably the case, but OTOH the actual AC charging circuitry is integral to my truck/battery so it might be able to mitigate that somehow?

Or is the info in gmaps definitely wrong and a 19kW L2 charger is just silly?

Edit: it’s a 2020 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, with a 12.1kWh battery.

    Right, that makes sense. I don’t know what the AC charger’s capacity is, it might be worth visiting the Caddy dealership just to try it out.

    I think it’s a flaw specific to the 2020 Outlander PHEV or so; the way the manual and other documentation repeat it makes it seem unusual, as well as important. Maybe just because the battery is so small, at 12kWh?
