The easiest way to charge your plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle at home is to install an electric vehicle charger. Installing your own charger is also an efficient way to charge, as you can schedule charging times and take advantage of dedicated EV energy tariffs. We offer Toyota HomeCharge to support you through your EV journey.
A home car charging point makes charging convenient, and easily becomes a habit, it makes good use of your time, and means you rarely having to stop at a service station. Plug in overnight and wake to a charged battery, just like charging your mobile phone.
Charging your electric car at home is cheaper than charging at a public charger. There are several off-peak energy tariffs on offer for electric car charging at home which can save you even more money when you charge at specific times.
We highly recommend that you install an electric car charger such as Toyota HomeCharge, which we can help you with, however if needed, you can even plug-in to a domestic socket.
Our EV home charger Toyota HomeCharge is the only charger which has been designed to work in unison with your electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid and the MyToyota App.
From the 3rd April 2024 - 1st July 2024, we are offering retail customers who order a new Toyota plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle which is registered by 31st July 2024, a complimentary Toyota HomeCharge EV charger with standard installation included.
The basics you’ll need for installation are:
To make installing our electric car chargers easy, we have teamed up with British Gas to provide expert support at every stage.
When you order your Toyota electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid , discuss Toyota HomeCharge with your dealer, who can share your details with British Gas.
The full process typically takes 6-8 weeks, so we recommend ordering your EV charger at the same time as ordering your new vehicle.
Charging at home is a cost-efficient way to charge your electric car. Our charging cost calculator can help you estimate how much you are likely to spend.
Zero emissions isn't our destination. It's another step in our electrification journey to overcome barriers and build a better future for all: beyond emissions, beyond restrictions, beyond expectations and beyond barriers.
In 1997 we released the Prius, the world's first mass-produced hybrid passenger vehicle. At launch, the first-generation Prius had a fuel efficiency rating of 28.0 km/L and came with the tagline: "Just in time for the 21st century."
The first-generation Prius, at its launch, became the world's first mass-produced gasoline-electric hybrid car. At its introduction in 1997, it won the Car of the Year Japan Award, and in 1998, it won the Automotive Researchers' and Journalists' Conference Car of the Year award in Japan.
FAST FORWARD TO 2024

Embrace life with Prius Plug-in
Prius Plug-In looks good from every angle, it catches the eye whether from across the street or gazed upon from a tall office building. The Skyview roof is visually continuous with the front and rear glass, emphasising the coupé-inspired style.
Today we offer 4 different electrified powertrains and plan to build 40 new or updated electric vehicles by 2025 to reduce or remove tail-pipe emissions entirely.
Showcased by the upcoming Toyota bZ4X and our electric vans, our new generation of battery-electric vehicles not only support quick recharging, they produce zero tailpipe emissions.
The Mirai is powered by electricity made in its innovative fuel cell stack that fuses oxygen and hydrogen to produce electricity. The result? A driving range of more than 400 miles** and zero tailpipe emissions.
The journey does not end with zero emissions - from helping mobility restrictions to building hydrogen-powered cities, we want to go further, we want to go Beyond Zero.
As we transform from an automotive company to a mobility company, we're committed to caring for everyone's movement, from the elderly to Paralympians, regardless of their physical ability. Because when we leave no one behind, we all go further.
Building an emotional bond with its driver. The “LQ” is a concept vehicle which uses advanced technology to build an emotional bond between the car and it’s driver. LQ has automated-driving capabilities and “Yui,” a powerful artificial intelligence-powered interactive agent is designed to learn from the driver and deliver a personalised mobility experience.
By combining our vehicle's reputation for quality and reliability with services that are more in tune with your needs, we want Beyond Zero to mean not just lower emissions, but also a safer, more enjoyable driving experience.
Toyota Safety Sense is a suite of active safety technologies designed to prevent or mitigate accidents involving our cars, taking us one step closer to our ultimate goal of eliminating road accidents.
As part of our Environmental Challenge 2050, we want our zero-emission journey to go even further. Hydrogen is a clean, sustainable energy that will help us reduce the impact of our products and operations on the environment and contribute to a better society.
Powering Europe’s first fleet of fuel cell buses, the Caetanobus uses our hydrogen technology and is not only convenient, it’s eco-conscious too. It offers no-compromise public transport, supporting local communities and emitting water vapour as it drives.
