How Does Charging Work for Toyota Electric Vehicles?
Toyota electric vehicles offer three convenient charging levels, allowing drivers to choose the option that best fits their lifestyle and daily driving needs.
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120-volt household outlet, making it a great choice for drivers with short commutes. With the included dual-voltage charging cable, you can easily recharge your Toyota EV at home using a common 3-prong outlet when you're not on the road.
Level 2 charging operates on 240 volts and takes advantage of the 11-kW onboard AC charger, allowing you to charge from 10% to 100% in approximately seven hours. This option is ideal for overnight home charging or topping off at public Level 2 charging stations, maximizing convenience during your daily routine.
For the fastest charging option, Level 3 DC Fast Charging lets you recharge from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes at compatible public charging stations under ideal conditions.
No matter which charging level you choose, Toyota EV charging is simple and accessible. You can easily locate nearby charging stations using the Toyota app or directly through the vehicle's touchscreen display, making on-the-go charging more convenient than ever.
