Toyota Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) technology delivers all the power you need without an internal combustion engine, and zero tailpipe CO₂ emissions as a result. Explore how Toyota BEVs combine efficient, reliable performance with the power to move through everyday life.
  

Spark more possibilities with the Toyota bZ4X. An All-Electric SUV built for all of life’s moments, from the planned, the spontaneous, and everything in-between.

Why electrified?

Electric means benefits

Experience the joys of going fully electric with smooth, quiet performance. All backed by Toyota’s trusted quality, durability and reliability.
Continuous innovation

Since pioneering hybrid electrification with the Prius over two decades ago, Toyota has advanced its vehicle offering to deliver an all-electric vehicle with an emphasis on continuous innovation in performance and design.

Convenient charging

Charging your Toyota BEV is effortless, at home or on the go. With compatibility across all standard chargers and the convenience of home charging, you can top up quickly and enjoy a seamless driving experience.

All-electric performance

Powered entirely by electricity, BEVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, helping to reduce your environmental footprint. Enjoy instant torque, smooth acceleration and quiet performance for a refined, effortless driving experience every time.

An economical way to drive

Charge your vehicle at home or on the go and never pay for petrol again. Speak to your Toyota Dealer about installing a wall-mounted home charging unit via JET ChargeC11 at an additional costM1 and learn about off-peak charging times to help save on your electricity bill.

Lasting batteries

Toyota’s traction batteries are engineered to go the distance. Built under Toyota’s strict global quality standards, each battery undergoes advanced safety monitoring and rigorous testing to deliver long-term durability and reliable performance.

Charge from solar panels

Make ownership simpler and more predictable. If you already have rooftop solar, or are planning installation, pair your Toyota BEV with a compatible charger to lower running costs and unlock potential near-zero cost charging at home.

Find a charger near you

Australia has a growing number of public charging stations, which means a full battery is never too far away.

FAQs


How does a Battery Electric Vehicle work?

A high-voltage battery stores energy that’s delivered through an inverter to an electric motor, turning the wheels. When you brake or decelerate, regenerative braking helps recharge the battery. While BEVs typically use a single-speed drive for smooth, quiet acceleration, their EV transmission still requires routine inspection and maintenance in line with Toyota’s service schedule.

 


How long does it take to recharge a Battery Electric Vehicle?

Charging times vary depending on the vehicle and charge type. For the Toyota bZ4X, it’s possible to achieve the below.

  • Standard Australian household powerpoint charging (Mode 2): 10-100% charge in approximately 30+ hoursG65.
  • Home AC charging (Mode 3): 10-100% charge in approximately 11 hours for 7kW single phase chargingG65 using a dedicated AC wall-mounted home charger.
  • Public AC chargers: 10-100% in approximately 6.5 hours for 22kW 3-phase chargingG65.
  • Public DC 150kW fast charging (Mode 4): it takes approximately 28 minutes to reach 80% (from 10%) at 25 degreesG65G82.

 


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.
