The WLTP range figure is an estimate based on the WLTP (Worldwide harmonised Light vehicle Test Procedure) regulations. These are a global standard Toyota follows rigorously. Use range will deviate from the WLTP value when key factors, including speed, road surface, driving behaviour and ambient temperature, differ from those specified in the WLTP test cycle. Please consult our range calculator to anticipate your real-world range in specific conditions, such as temperature, wheel size, driving mode and air-conditioning setting.

Selecting the Eco Driving Mode will increase efficiency and maximise use range, as will activating the Auto Eco Mode for the heater. Consider turning off the air-conditioning when not required and remember the heated seats and steering wheel are a more efficient way of staying warm than turning up the heater. It’s also a good idea to pre-condition the cabin while the car is still on charge – you can do this via the MyToyota app or the car’s multimedia display. 

Ensure your tyre pressures are correctly adjusted. Low pressures will reduce use range. Winter tyres also consume more electricity on dry roads than summer tyres. Carrying unnecessary weight will increase energy usage, so be sure to remove surplus items from the car. Finally, consider modifying your driving behaviour. Driving at a constant, moderate speed and avoiding unnecessary acceleration and braking will help you go further on a charge. When you do need to alter your speed, do so smoothly to decrease your energy usage.

Our Battery Electric vehicles are built to the same high quality, durability and reliability standards as any other Toyota, and their batteries are engineered to last. The bZ’s battery is warranty-protected against degradation to less than 70% of its original capacity for up to eight years or 160,000km, whichever comes first. It’s also covered against functional defects for five years or 100,000km and, for your peace of mind, regular EV health checks can extend that cover to up to 10 years or one million kilometres, whichever comes first  

A Battery Electric car has no Internal Combustion Engine and runs on electricity alone, with the battery powering one or more electric motors. Hybrids combine a traditional engine and an electric powertrain – usually a self-charging battery and an electric motor. In a Hybrid car the combustion engine, electric motor and battery work together. The electric motor boosts performance while also working as a generator to turn surplus energy from the combustion engine into electrical charge, reducing fuel consumption.

The actual range of your vehicle depends on many factors like external temperature, your driving style and use of A/C. 

Charging your electric vehicle is simple and convenient. Charge whenever it suits you: while you are at home, in public and workplace car parks, or on the go using the public rapid chargers across Europe. To charge your vehicle at home, you can use the supplied cable and a domestic power socket or use an installed home charger via Toyota HomeCharge, which will get your car charged from 10 to 80% within 5 hours* (11kW) Plug in overnight and wake up to a fully charged battery.

For quick charging on the go, the expanding network of more than 850,000 public chargers is available across Europe within the Toyota Charging Network. Using the rapid charger could have you topped up from 10 to 80% in 30 minutes.* Use our charging calculator to find out more.

 

*A charge from a 10% state of charge to 80% can be achieved in around 30 minutes with 150 kW DC, even at an outside temperature of -10°C with battery preconditioning activated 40 min before charging.

Use battery preconditioning to reduce (DC) fast charging time. Battery conditioning can be linked to navigation, it will activate when you select your charging station address as point of destination. You can also activate the battery preconditioning via a manual button on the Multimedia screen, or you can schedule it prior to departure.
