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.
QUICK RESPONSE TORQUE
Instant torque, smooth acceleration and quieter motors.
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.
