| How does a Battery Electric Vehicle work?
 
 A high-voltage battery stores energy. The inverter supplies power to an electric motor that drives the wheels, and regenerative braking recovers energy when you slow down. Most BEVs use a single-speed drive for smooth, quiet acceleration, with no multi-speed gearbox or engine oil to maintain.

| How long does it take to recharge a Battery Electric Vehicle?
 
 Charging time varies by charger type, battery size, state of charge and temperature. AC home charging typically takes hours, which suits overnight top-ups. DC fast charging can add a substantial amount of range in minutes at compatible public stations, ideal for longer trips.

| What happens if my Battery Electric Vehicle runs out of charge?
 
 If your BEV runs out of charge, it will gradually lose power and eventually stop, just like a petrol car would if it ran out of fuel. Unlike petrol vehicles, there’s no reserve, so you’ll need to recharge before you can continue driving. For this reason, it’s important to plan your trips ahead and keep an eye on your battery level.
 
 If you are unable to charge your vehicle and it stalls, you’ll need to contact your Roadside Assistance provider* for towing to your nearest public charging station or Toyota Dealer.
 *If using a roadside service that is not Toyota Roadside Assist, be sure to refer to the Owner's Manual for important information about necessary towing precautions.   |
