Get Ready To Power Up, Calgary!
Instant acceleration, quiet operation, smooth performance, and emissions-free. That’s the power and the promise of a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). Here at Charlesglen Toyota, we have an exciting inventory of BEVs brimming with intelligent and intuitive technologies – all while showing some love to the planet.
BENEFITS
Environmentally Friendly. Electrifyingly Ready.
Smooth Operation
Instant torque means instant acceleration. With no transmission and no gears, the drive is exceptionally smooth. Thanks to electric motors, you’ll also enjoy a whisper-quiet ride.
Electric-Only Range
Modern BEVs can travel further than you think. Toyota’s bZ4X, for example, has an estimated range of up to 406km for FWD models on a full charge. With more than 5,000 public charging stations across the country, it is easy to recharge along the way.
Emissions-Free Driving
As a leader in hybrid technology, Toyota’s BEV lineup is actively reducing CO2 emissions and greenhouse gasses so that you can feel good about your environmental impact.
Save on Fuel Costs
With zero stops to the pump, going electric is good for the planet and your wallet. Get even more savings if you recharge during off-peak hours.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Say goodbye to oil changes. With no engine or transmission, BEVs have fewer mechanical parts. That could add up to a lower cost of ownership, including service and maintenance costs.
Incentives & Rebates
It pays to go green. Canadian organizations and businesses can benefit from an enhanced first-year capital cost allowance on the purchase of an eligible EV.
HOW IT WORKS
Running on Electric.
Instead of an internal combustion engine, BEVs are powered by a large battery pack and high-output electric motors. Because it runs on electricity alone, BEVs emit no exhaust from the tailpipe. Through regenerative braking, BEV batteries can even be recharged as you drive. To experience the full potential of their electric-only operation, plug yours into a wall outlet or charging equipment until fully charged.
CHARGING
Power Up for Peak Performance
Charging a BEV is simple. Just plug it in. At home, at work, or at any public charging station. Charging times will vary depending on whether you are using Level 1, 2 or 3 charging.
Level 1: Standard
Charge your BEV using a standard 120-volt AC wall socket. The slowest way to charge, it can also be the most convenient and requires no special equipment.
Level 2: Faster
A 240-volt AC outlet can cut BEV charging times in half. Install one at home, or charge up at any Level 2 public station.
Level 3: Fastest
Direct Current (DC) Chargers (480V+) are currently the fastest method of charging your vehicle. Canada has more than 5,000 public charging stations – 500 of which are Level 3 fast chargers.

BATTERY ELECTRIC
FAQs
How does a battery electric vehicle work?
A battery electric vehicle (BEV) is powered entirely by a battery and single or dual electric motors. Like all electric vehicles, BEVs can also recharge their batteries to a limited degree through regenerative braking. To achieve a full charge, BEVs need to be plugged in.
How does a hybrid electric vehicle work?
A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) seamlessly combines the power of a gas engine with the efficiency of electric motors. The battery is recharged while you drive so it’s always ready to go without ever needing to be plugged in.
How does a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle work?
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) seamlessly combines the power of a gas engine with the efficiency of electric motors. While the hybrid battery recharges on the go, to get the full benefit of a plug-in – including increased electric-only driving range – the vehicle needs to be recharged from the power grid.
Are Toyota electrified vehicles as safe as conventionally powered vehicles?
Toyota’s electric systems are designed and tested for Canada just like any Toyota vehicle and adhere to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. HEVs, PHEVs and BEVs cause no greater concern for passengers or rescuers in the event of a collision than non-hybrid vehicles. The batteries are sealed in a protective metal case and insulated from the vehicle body.
