It is recommended to use AC charging options for everyday use. While DC fast charging is convenient for longer trips, frequent use may impact battery performance and longevity over time.
Charging a lithium-ion battery slows down as it nears full capacity. So you can get more power in less time by charging to 80% and stopping there. While charging to 100% is still an option when needed, it’s not essential for everyday driving and can help optimise long-term battery health.
FAQs
What's the difference between Plug-in Hybrid and Battery Electric Vehicle charging? PHEVs have smaller batteries than BEVs, so they charge faster using a home or public charger. BEVs have larger batteries that take longer to recharge but offer a longer driving range on electric power alone. Both can use standard AC chargers, while BEVs can also use DC fast chargers for a quicker top-up when you’re on the go. |
What happens if my Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle runs out of charge? If your PHEV’s battery runs low, the petrol engine automatically kicks in and the car switches to Hybrid mode. It continues to drive while self-charging, giving you the range you need to complete your journey until you can recharge. |
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. |
