Electric Charging Types

From slow charging at home to rapid charging on the road, there are many EV and PHEV charging solutions. This page will help you find the most practical solution for your needs.

Three-pin Power Source

Using a three-pin (3 kW AC) power source is a convenient way of charging your car if you don't have access to a wall charger or you can't get to a public charging point. It allows you to charge your car overnight or while you are visiting friends or family.

However, as this is a slow charging option, it can take up to 18 hours to reach an 80% charge. It's recommended that owners shouldn't leave their cars in a three-pin charging state for an extended period of time due to battery deterioration. You should check your model's manual for further information.

Wallbox

The Toyota HomeCharge wall box is perfect for keeping your EV vehicle charged. Installing one on your driveway allows charging your vehicle as part of your routine. Saving time and reducing the need for frequent stops, you can plug in your vehicle overnight and wake up to a fully charged battery. If you charge during off-peak energy tariffs, you could save money in the long run.

MyToyota App: Smart Connectivity for Everyday Driving

The MyToyota App brings together a wide range of connected services designed to help you get more from your Toyota, wherever you are. Using the app on your smartphone, you can communicate with your vehicle remotely to plan journeys from home, optimise your driving style, manage cabin comfort and monitor key vehicle information, making everyday ownership simpler and more convenient.

With features such as Find My Car, you can quickly locate your parked Toyota and even flash the hazard lights to spot it in busy car parks. The app also offers remote control functions, allowing you to pre‑set the cabin temperature, defrost the car in winter, check vehicle status, and securely lock your vehicle remotely for added peace of mind.

For hybrid and electric drivers, the MyToyota App provides dedicated tools to enhance efficiency and convenience. Electric and plug‑in hybrid owners can monitor battery status, schedule charging remotely and access the Toyota Public Charging Network.

Public Charging

The number of public charging stations is growing massively, making charging your electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles easy. Public chargers can be found across the country at service stations, carparks, hotels and at workplaces. Whether you are on your daily commute or on a road trip across the country, driving an electric vehicle is stress-free.
