The distance an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle between charges is known as range, and is determined by the type and size of the battery. As with any vehicle, however it is powered, range also depends on a number of factors such as weather and driving style. Explore our electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid cars to find your perfect model.
The thrill and freedom of pure-electric driving.
Plug-in Hybrids offer increased electric-only driving range in EV mode than Hybrids.
With Dual DNA powertrains, Hybrids offer the best of both worlds – fill up with petrol, drive electric.
A Toyota electric car can travel up to 376 miles* on a single charge, depending on the model and specification. For example, the Toyota C-HR+ Design grade offers up to 376 miles range* under ideal WLTP test conditions.
In real-world driving, the range of an electric car can vary based on speed, weather, terrain and driving style. With nearly 70% of daily journeys in the UK under 20 miles†, a Toyota EV can easily cover everyday distances without needing to charge daily.
A Toyota electric car can typically cover a similar daily distance to a petrol car, with a range that suits the vast majority of driving needs†. While petrol cars can refuel quickly and may offer longer maximum range, electric vehicles provide the convenience of home charging and potentially lower running costs dependent on where you charge and your energy tariff for home charging.
For most UK drivers who travel fewer than 20 miles per day the range of an electric car such as the Toyota Urban Cruiser or Toyota C-HR+ is more than enough for daily driving and commuting.
Several factors influence the range of an electric car and how far a Toyota EV can go on one charge. These include:
Toyota electric vehicles are designed with features like regenerative braking to help maximise efficiency and extend real-world range.
Yes, the range of a Toyota electric car can be suitable for long-distance journeys. Many Toyota EVs offer enough range to travel hundreds of miles on a single charge, making them practical for motorway driving and longer trips.
With the UK’s growing public charging network, you can stop and recharge when needed. Planning ahead using charging apps or in-car navigation helps ensure long journeys are convenient and stress-free.
Based on models such as the Urban Cruiser, bZ4X, bZ4X Touring and Toyota C‑HR+, the average WLTP range of a Toyota electric car is over 300 miles^, which is more than enough for the average daily driving distance in the UK†, while also giving you the confidence to travel longer distances.
WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) is the official test used to measure the range of an electric car, as well as fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. The WLTP range shows how far an electric vehicle can travel on one charge under standardised test conditions, allowing you to compare different models easily.
WLTP figures are based on controlled laboratory testing, so the actual range you achieve in real-world driving may vary depending on factors such as speed, weather, terrain and driving style. WLTP figures are provided for comparison purposes. To learn more, visit the Vehicle Certification Agency website.
*Figures obtained after full battery charge. Battery electric vehicle requiring mains electricity for charging. Electric range figures were achieved using the WLTP test procedure and are provided for comparison purposes. Only compare CO₂ and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which depend on various factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.
