Toyota EV Mileage Range Explained

Realistic Driving Range for a New Toyota and Dealing with Winter Range

Toyota is known for ingenuity and efficiency. And with the new lineup of Toyota EVs and hybrids, you can expect much more of the same. But just how much range will you get for the average Toyota EV or hybrid? You'll find the answers you need here at Toyota of Hollywood.

Expected Driving Range for your New Toyota Hybrid or EV

The range will change depending on battery size and model. But you knew that already. Some Toyota models, like the Toyota Mirai XLE, will have a manufacturer-estimated range of up to 402 miles when fully charged. But driving range can fluctuate anywhere between 250 miles on a full charge, and the Toyota Sienna hybrid can travel up to 648 miles when fully charged and gassed.

In other words, if you want to go further without making pitstops, a new Toyota alternative fuel model is the way to go. But, there is one thing that will affect how well your battery recharges.

Winter Range

Cold weather slows down chemical reactions. So, in turn, it will affect how your EV retains its charge. Cold weather will reduce your battery range due to a lack of climate control in EVs. AAA tested the range effects of 20F degree weather and found that cold temps could reduce range by 10-12 percent. So, "winter range" is a real thing. But since you live in Hollywood, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Sherman Oaks, or Glendale, you won't have to worry about "winter range" often.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there technology coming that will help with "Winter Range?

You can add things to your EV battery to provide more thickness to insulate from cold temperatures. And there is technology that will warm your battery 10-15 minutes before a recharge. A warmer battery will recharge faster than a cold one. But that technology is still on the way. Outside of that, you can park your vehicle indoors when possible to help reduce battery exposure to cold weather.
