Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV)
Plug-in hybrid vehicles are simple! Just like hybrid electric vehicles, they’re equipped with both a gas engine and electric motors, and they automatically switch from electric to gas or a combination of the two.
The best of both worlds
With two sources of energy, plug-in hybrid vehicles allow you to go further than a battery electric vehicle—without having to worry about range. The combination of gas engine and electric motor, which work together or alternately, will give you peace of mind on the road. With a high-powered battery (better than those usually found in hybrid electric vehicles) that charges up partially thanks to regenerative braking, among other things, you can drive for longer and lower your carbon emissions.
Charging up couldn’t be simpler
To charge up this type of hybrid vehicle, simply plug it into an outlet or charging station. The amount of time it takes depends on whether you’re using charging level 1 or 2.
How much can a plug-in hybrid vehicle save you on gas?
Take the testA powerful drive
The electric motor provides immediate propulsion, which means instant acceleration. And the vehicle automatically switches between gas and electric to enhance the performance in all driving conditions.
Some Toyota plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are even available with electronic all-wheel drive so you can navigate with even more confidence, no matter the weather.
