BATTERY ELECTRIC INTRODUCTION
A Great Choice to Charge Up Your Drive
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) run entirely on electricity, and offer instant acceleration, quiet operation, smooth performance, and tailpipe emissions-free driving. They’re just one of the ways Toyota offers drivers a choice of Electric Vehicles (EVs), along with hybrids and plug-in hybrids. All made with the reliability Canadians depend on from Toyota.
BENEFITS
Plug into the Benefits of EVs
Toyota Reliability and Excellent Warranty
Toyota BEVS are in it for the long haul, thanks to legendary Toyota reliability. That’s why our BEVs are backed up with an 8 year/160,000 km warranty.
Environmental Commitment
You can feel good about buying from Toyota. We have a robust battery recycling program, and our goal is to be carbon neutral by 2050 as part of the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050.
TAILPIPE EMISSIONS-FREE DRIVING
Reducing CO2 emissions by going fully electric is one way we can help lessen greenhouse gasses and lessen our impact on the environment.
EASY TO MAINTAIN
Without a combustion engine or transmission, BEVs have fewer mechanical components. The regenerative braking in these vehicles reduces brake pad wear, further lowering service and maintenance costs.
Is a Battery Electric Vehicle For You?
There are a lot of factors to take into account when you’re considering a Battery Electric Vehicle. From charging to range to fuel savings, we lay out everything so you can make the right decision for you.
CHARGING
Power Up for Peak Performance
Charging an electric car is simple. Just plug it in. At home, at work, or at any public charging station. Battery Electric Vehicle charging times will vary depending on whether you are using Level 1, 2 or 3 EV charging.
LEVEL 1: Standard
120-Volt Outlet
At Home Charging
Charge anywhere with a common household 3-prong outlet.
LEVEL 2: Faster
240-Volt Outlet
At Home and Public Charging
The best setup for faster charging at home once installed by a licensed electrician.
LEVEL 3: Fastest
480-Volt DCFC
Public Charging
Only available at select public charging stations.
RANGE
Reliable and Confident
Range Anxiety? It’s a real thing! But not to worry – when it comes to range, Toyota has you covered so you can get wherever you need to go with confidence. The average Toyota EV provides 350-496km of driving per day, which is plenty considering the average Canadian drives just 60 km per day. There are also things you can do to ensure that you get the range you require, like preconditioning the battery – particularly in colder weather.
A FEW THINGS YOU CAN DO TO MAXIMIZE EV RANGE:
- Precondition your battery, to bring it to temperature in colder weather
- Plan your journey carefully, and identify charging stations along your route
- Set a charging schedule
- Keep your tires properly inflated
- Use good driving habits, like watching your speed and using cruise control
- Keep your electric vehicle properly maintained
- The Toyota App now has a feature that connects your BEV to Apple Maps, which can be used for efficient EV route planning
