Charging your Toyota
Charging your all-electric Toyota is straightforward, with several options available at home and on the move. Whether you’re scheduling an overnight charge at home or charging on the move, the MyToyota smartphone app makes it easy and convenient.
Welcome to the Toyota Charging ecosystem
Home charging
Easy and convenient, home charging is at the heart of the Toyota Charging ecosystem. Together, the MyToyota app and your Toyota HomeCharge charger will ensure your all-electric or Plug-in Hybrid Toyota is always ready for action.
Check your status
Information is power, and with the MyToyota app you can check your car’s state of charge, remaining range and charging status anytime, anywhere.
How to charge and refuel our vehicles
Toyota Battery Electric cars run on electricity alone and require charging. You can also charge your Plug-in Hybrid. Hybrids don’t require charging but must be refuelled in the normal way.
Battery Electric, Toyota bZ4X
Smooth, exciting to drive and powered exclusively by electricity
Reliable and cost-effective to maintain thanks to fewer moving parts
No combustion engine and no tailpipe emissions while driving*
In Cyprus, switching to an electrified* car comes with significant benefits. You can get up to €9,000 in government subsidies for Battery Electric Vehicles (subject to approval and eligibility criteria). Plus, Battery Electric Vehicles are exempt from road tax, helping you save even more while enjoying a cleaner drive.
Power consumption Toyota bZ4X (battery capacity 71.4 kWh), electric motor 150 kW (204 HP) or electric motor 160 kW (218 HP): combined 18.0-14.4 kWh/100 km, CO2 emissions: 0 g/km, electric range (EAER): 415-513 km and electric range (EAER City): 547-686 km. Values according to WLTP test procedure.

Moderate your speed – range drops sharply at higher speeds – and monitor the flow of traffic to avoid sudden braking and acceleration. When slowing down, release the accelerator earlier and use energy regeneration to slow down. This will feed electricity back into the battery.

FAQS
- Everything about charging7
All Toyota Hybrid models feature pioneering self-charging battery technology. They are known as “Hybrid electric vehicles” because they have two sources of power: a gasoline engine and an electric motor. This means that, unlike pure electric vehicles, you do not have to connect them to an external power source.
If the hybrid battery is not fully charged, it is recharged using excess energy from the gasoline engine. And that's not all. Our Hybrids have a regenerative braking system: when braking or coasting, electricity is generated, like a generator, which is then stored in the hybrid battery.
If you're still wondering whether a Hybrid has to be plugged in, a little hint: with a Toyota Hybrid there are no cables, no plugs and no restrictions!
Charging an electric car is easy. Connected and convenient, a Toyota HomeCharge charger is the best way to charge, usually overnight at home. For charging on the go, there is an ever-growing network of charging stations, including fast chargers at locations such as motorway service stations. Though not ideal, you can also charge using the included cable and a standard household socket.
Whether at home, at work or at a public charging station, there are many ways to charge a Plug-in Hybrid. Connected and convenient, a Toyota HomeCharge charger is the best way to charge, usually overnight at home. For charging on the go, there is an ever-growing network of charging stations, including fast chargers at locations such as motorway service stations. Though not ideal, you can also charge using the included cable and a standard household socket.
Many public chargers work using a contactless RFID card. Unique and registered to you, tapping your card on the charger identifies you and begins the charging process.
Level 2 involves a dedicated charger and is a step up from Level 1, offering faster charging. Level 1 charging refers to charging from a standard domestic power socket, and it’s the slowest way to charge. Level 2 uses a Type 2 charging cable and delivers a higher power output for faster charging.
Level 3 charging, also known as DC fast charging, is the fastest way to charge. The standard for fast public charging across Europe, DC fast chargers are the most common type of Level 3 charging station. They feature an integrated cable with a plug that incorporates both AC and DC connectors.
Some all-electric vehicles charge more slowly in cold weather because lower temperatures slow the electrochemical processes in the battery. However, cars like the Toyota bZ4X features a pre-conditioning system that ensures the battery is always at the optimal temperature for efficient charging.
* The stated values were determined according to the WLTP (World Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure) test procedure and depend on the equipment. Your vehicle's electric range and power consumption values may differ from the measured or calculated values as many other factors influence a vehicle's electric range. These factors include, among others, driving behavior (e.g. speed), outside temperature, weather (dry, wet, windy), use of comfort/auxiliary consumers, road conditions, traffic, vehicle condition, tire type (summer/winter) and tire pressure, payload , number of passengers, special equipment, battery temperature during the journey.
For further information on the official fuel consumption and official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars, see the 'Guide to the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electricity consumption of new passenger cars'. which is available free of charge at all sales points and from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT) at www.dat.de .
The stated charging times may vary - depending on the local charging conditions (e.g. type and condition of the charging station, battery temperature or ambient temperature).
◊ An electrified car is one propelled by one or more electric motors to some extent. Some electrified cars, including Hybrids and Plug-in Hybrids, also have a petrol engine. Others, like the Toyota bZ4X, are entirely electric.
