Battery Electric
Instant acceleration, quiet operation, smooth performance, and emissions-free. That’s the power and the promise of a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). The Toyota bZ4X is the next step in our electrification journey, to offer mobility solutions that are brimming with intelligent and intuitive technologies.
Benefits
Instant torque means instant acceleration. With no transmission and no gears, the drive is exceptionally smooth. With electric motors, you’ll also notice a world of quiet.
Modern BEVs can travel further than you may realize. Toyota’s bZ4X, for example, has an estimated range of up to 406km for front wheel drive models on a full charge**. With more than 5,000 public charging stations across the country, it is easy to re-charge along the way.
Reducing CO2 emissions by going fully electric is one way we can help lessen greenhouse gasses, and lessen our impact on the environment.
Electricity is cheaper than gas. Savings can be even higher if you recharge during off-peak hours.
Say good-bye to oil changes. With no engine or transmission, BEV’s have fewer mechanical parts. That could help add up to a lower cost of ownership, including service and maintenance costs.
The federal government’s iZEV program offers an incentive of up to $5,000 for the purchase of a zero emission vehicle. Visit Transport Canada to learn more.
How BEV Works
In place of an internal combustion engine, BEVs are powered by a large battery pack and high-output electric motors. Because it runs on electricity alone, BEVs emit no exhaust from the tailpipe. BEV batteries are recharged to some degree as you drive, largely through regenerative braking. However, BEVs must be plugged into a wall outlet or charging equipment to achieve a full charge in order to deliver the full benefits of their electric-only operation.
Charging
Charging a BEV is simple. Just plug it in. At home, at work, or at any public charging station. Charging times will vary depending on whether you are using Level 1, 2 or 3 charging.
Charge your BEV using a standard 120-volt AC wall socket. The slowest way to charge, it can also be the most convenient and requires no special equipment.
A 240-volt AC outlet can cut BEV charging times in half. Install one at home, or charge up at any Level 2 public station.
Direct Current (DC) Chargers (480V+) are currently the fastest method of charging your vehicle. Canada has more than 5,000 public charging stations – 500 of which are Level 3 fast chargers.
Models
Loaded with some of our most innovative thinking and advanced technology, Toyota bZ4X is a zero emissions vehicle that delivers an exhilarating drive along with all the capability you’d expect in an all-electric SUV.

At Pickering Toyota, we believe that different mobility needs require different mobility solutions. That’s why we’re investing in a range of electrified technologies.
HEVs seamlessly combine the power of a gas engine with electric motors. And because the hybrid battery recharges on the go, you never need to plug in.

PHEVs operate in the same way as HEVs, but can optionally be plugged in for extended electric-only range.
