A Toyota Electrified Vehicle for Every Lifestyle

The advantages

FAST, POWERFUL AND QUIET

When we say instant power, we also mean instant acceleration. In the absence of a gearbox, driving becomes remarkably fluid. What's more, with electric motors, the driving experience is characterized by remarkable tranquillity.

ELECTRIC RANGE

Today's electric vehicles offer a wider range than you might think. A notable example is Toyota's bZ4X, which offers an estimated range of up to 406 km for front-wheel drive models on a full charge. Thanks to an extensive recharging infrastructure comprising over 5,000 charging points across the country, the process of recharging on the move becomes easily accessible.

EMISSION-FREE DRIVING

Opting for an all-electric vehicle is an effective way of reducing CO2 emissions, helping to lessen our impact on the environment and reduce greenhouse gases.

SAVE ON FUEL

Electricity is a more economical option than gasoline, and savings can be amplified by recharging during off-peak periods.

LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS

Oil changes are a thing of the past! Battery-powered electric vehicles, with no gasoline engine or gearbox, have a limited number of mechanical parts. This feature could significantly lower ownership costs, particularly through reduced maintenance costs.

INCENTIVES

The federal government's iZEV program offers a financial incentive of up to $5,000 for the purchase of a zero-emission vehicle.

FAQs

HOW DOES A HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK?

A hybrid electric vehicle synergistically integrates the power of a gasoline engine with the energy efficiency of electric motors. By recharging the battery while driving, the vehicle remains constantly ready for use, eliminating the need for an external connection.

HOW DOES A PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK?

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) synergistically combines the power of a gasoline engine with the efficiency of electric motors. Although the hybrid battery recharges while driving, to take full advantage of the benefits of a plug-in vehicle, such as extended range in all-electric mode, it needs to be recharged by connecting it to the electrical grid.

HOW DOES A BATTERY-ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK?

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) is completely powered by a battery and one or two electric motors. As with all electric vehicles, a BEV can also recover part of its charge through regenerative braking. For a full charge, however, it must be plugged in.

HOW DOES A HYDROGEN FUEL CELL ELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK?

A fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) works by using an integrated fuel cell to generate electricity from hydrogen and oxygen, powering an electric motor. It takes just 5 minutes to refuel an FCEV such as the Toyota Mirai XLE, which emits only water through its exhaust and offers a range of up to 647 km on a full tank*.

Hydrogen refueling time varies according to refueling pressure and ambient temperature. *Range of up to 647 km (Mirai XLE 2023) and up to 602 km (Mirai Limited 2023) based on Government of Canada-approved test methodology for fuel cell electric vehicles. This range estimate is based on fully-filled hydrogen tanks. Actual mileage depends on factors such as traffic, road and weather conditions, vehicle maintenance, refueling habits, speed and driving style, fuel cell age, battery age and charge weight.

DO TOYOTA'S ELECTRIFIED VEHICLES OFFER THE SAME LEVEL OF SAFETY AS CONVENTIONALLY POWERED VEHICLES?

Toyota's hybrid electric vehicle systems are specifically designed and tested for the Canadian context. Like all other Toyota vehicles, they comply with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. In the event of a collision, there is no increased risk to occupants or rescue workers compared with non-hybrid vehicles. The battery is protected by a watertight metal casing that isolates it from the vehicle body. What's more, the battery cable sheaths on hybrid electric vehicles are bright orange to alert first-aiders, and Toyota works closely with them, providing information and training on the operation of hybrid electric vehicles.


DO TOYOTA'S ELECTRIFIED VEHICLES REQUIRE EXTRA CARE?

Toyota's hybrid electric vehicles not only follow the same maintenance schedule as gasoline-powered models, i.e. every 6 months or 8,000 km, whichever comes first, but the operation of the hybrid electric system can also reduce the maintenance frequency of certain other vehicle components. In a hybrid electric vehicle, the gasoline engine is inactive part of the time (depending on driving style), the brakes are regenerative (extending pad and disc life), there is no transmission fluid under load, and no starter, alternator or belt needs replacing.

DOES THE USE OF A TOYOTA ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE REQUIRE ADJUSTMENTS IN MY DRIVING OR REFUELING HABITS? OR REFUELING HABITS?

Driving a Toyota hybrid electric vehicle is similar to driving one with a conventional engine. Toyota's efficient hybrid system operates seamlessly in the background, optimizing the use of both the gasoline engine and the electric motor. Refuelling a Toyota hybrid electric vehicle is carried out in the same way as a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle, without the need for a plug-in. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle offers all the advantages of a hybrid electric vehicle, while allowing plug-in to extend its range in all-electric mode.
