Charge the battery with electricity via a plug socket or wallbox at home, or using rapid public charging.* *In order to ensure effective charging and preserve battery health over the life of the vehicle, the DC fast charging power of Toyota Battery Electric cars may be reduced temporarily (for roughly 24 hours) after two sessions per day (equivalent of two times 10% to 80% state of charge).
The battery powers the electric motors, turning the wheels and driving the vehicle forward.
When the driver brakes and the vehicle decelerates, energy that would usually be lost during this process is sent to top up the battery.
A Hybrid Electric vehicle switches between two power sources, a petrol engine and a self-charging Hybrid battery. As the name implies, a Battery Electric vehicle runs on battery power alone. With no engine, it uses no fuel other than electricity and runs with zero tailpipe emissions.
Modern Battery Electric vehicles can travel further than you may think. The latest Toyota bZ4X can travel up to 500km on a single charge.
Our Battery Electric vehicles boast the same quality, durability and reliability as any other Toyota. Batteries are engineered to last the lifetime of the vehicle, and each one is covered by a 10-year/160,000 km* warranty, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind for years to come. When a battery reaches the end of its life, our take-back scheme ensures it is dealt with safely and responsibly.
From checking the status of battery and current driving range to programming recharging times and even pre-cooling/pre-heating the cabin, the MyToyota smartphone app helps you get the most out of your Battery Electric Toyota.
