Plug-In Hybrid Electric

Introduction

The Best of Both Worlds

With two sources of power, a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) gives you all the benefits of a hybrid electric vehicle plus an extended CO2 emissions-free EV driving range. So you can do more with less, while reducing carbon emissions along the way.

PHEV Benefits

Get More. Do More.

Less Fuel. Lower Emissions

PHEVs can travel faster and further in EV-mode than conventional hybrid electric vehicles. So you can spend more time in zero-fuel driving, and reduce emissions even more.

Leave Range Anxiety Behind

With both a gas engine and electric motor, even if your hybrid battery runs low, you never need to worry about finding a charging station.

Powerful Response

The electric motor provides immediate torque for instant acceleration. Automatically switching between gas and electricity means you enhance performance under every driving condition.

eAWD for All-Weather Confidence

Toyota PHEVs are available with electronic-All-Wheel-Drive that features dedicated motors at every wheel for added confidence no matter what the conditions.

No Additional Maintenance

A Toyota PHEVs maintenance schedule is nearly identical to one of our gas-powered vehicles.

Enjoy EV Incentives

PHEVs qualify for the federal government’s iZEV program which offers an EV incentive for the purchase of a qualifying Plug-In Hybrid Electric vehicles1. Visit Transport Canada to learn more.

For qualifying transactions that meet Government of Canada iZEV Program eligibility criteria. Government of Canada iZEV Program provides a rebate towards the purchase or lease of new clean energy vehicle, including the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid.

How Does a Plug-In Hybrid Work?

Enhance Your Potential

There is nothing complicated about a PHEV. Just like a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), it has both a gas engine and electric motors, and automatically switches between electric-mode only (EV mode), gas-mode only, or a seamless combination of both.

The difference between plug-in hybrid and hybrid vehicle? With its larger battery and more powerful motor, a PHEV allows you to travel further in EV-mode alone than a conventional HEV. Like an HEV, the battery recharges through regenerative braking. You can also choose to plug-in to extend your EV driving range.

Charging

Power Up for Peak Performance

Charging your PHEV is simple. Just plug it in. At home, at work, or at any public charging station. Charging times depend on whether you are using Level 1 or 2 charging.
