Frequently asked questions about Toyota EVs
1. What Toyota electric vehicles are available now?
Toyota currently offers the all-electric bZ4X, plus a growing selection of hybrids and plug-in hybrids such as the RAV4 Prime and Prius Prime. Toyota is expanding its EV lineup, so new all-electric models are expected to arrive in the coming years.
2. How far can a Toyota EV drive on a single charge?
Range varies by model and driving conditions. For example, the bZ4X is EPA-rated for around 250 miles on a full charge. Real-world range can be affected by speed, temperature, terrain, and how you drive, so your mileage may vary.
3. How long does it take to charge a Toyota EV?
Charging time depends on the charger: a Level 1 (120V) plug is slow and is best for topping off, a Level 2 (240V) home or public charger usually fills the battery overnight, and DC fast chargers can charge many EVs to about 80% in roughly 20–40 minutes depending on the vehicle and station.
4. Are there incentives or rebates for buying a Toyota EV in Connecticut?
Yes — Connecticut offers programs (like CHEAPR) and there may be federal tax credits or other incentives that can lower the cost of an EV. Incentives change from time to time, so we recommend checking current state and federal programs or contacting Girard Toyota in New London for the latest details and how they apply to you.
5. Can I take a Toyota EV on long road trips?
Absolutely. Toyota EVs are road-trip capable, and public charging is expanding across Connecticut and the Northeast. For peace of mind, plan your route around public DC fast chargers and Level 2 stops — and feel free to ask our team at Girard Toyota for help planning longer trips from New London.
