The Power of Choice
Take charge of your future and choose from Toyota's diverse range of powertrains.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles start, refuel and handle like the gas-only Toyotas you already know and love-just with better mpg ratings. Even though they run on a combination of gas and battery-powered electric motor(s), they don't use a plug to charge their battery. Instead, they recycle the kinetic energy captured from the vehicle's braking motion to recharge on their own.
Plug-In Hybrid EV
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles run just like hybrids, using a combination of fuel and battery-powered electric motor(s), but thanks to their larger battery pack, they can run farther on electric power alone. When your Plug-in Hybrid EV's battery uses up its charge, it carries on like a regular Hybrid EV, using a combination of gas and energy stored from the vehicle's battery system to power it. When you're ready, plug it in to recharge it and return to the efficiency of operating on all-electric power.
Battery EV
These pure Electric Vehicles replace gasoline and combustion engines with battery-powered electric motors, providing smooth and almost instantaneous torque. They use the same technology of our Hybrid EVs to harness kinetic energy generated from the braking motion of the vehicle, but source the rest of their power when you plug them in and charge them up.
