Maximising your range

Whether you’re driving a plug-in hybrid or battery electric vehicle, there are some simple things to consider when managing your range:

• Outside Temperature - Be aware that the weather can affect the range of your vehicle and it may need charging more often in cold temperatures.
• ‘Eco’ mode and electronics - As with most vehicles now, activating ‘Eco’ mode will prioritise economy over performance to enhance range. To maximise your range with battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, you can set your air conditioning whilst still plugged in.
• Where and how you drive - Just like a petrol or diesel, where and how you drive can affect your total range. You will be able to travel more miles on a charge with smoother driving or on the motorway, compared to city driving with lots of stopping and starting.
• Charge often - To maximise battery life, charge your electric vehicle whenever you have the chance whether you are at home or on the go. It makes the most of your time.
• Driving style - Your driving style can affect your range too. Maintain sufficient vehicle to vehicle distance to avoid accelerating or decelerating unnecessarily.

Toyota bZ4X Regeneration Boost: built-in range booster

Every bZ4X is fitted with a Regeneration Boost button. Push it, and you can drive the car using just the accelerator pedal. Simply, depress it to go faster, or lift off to slow down (to bring the car to a complete stop you will need to depress the brake pedal).

Regeneration Boost activates a system that uses the electric motor to slow the car down, instead of the brakes, in a way that feels natural.

Another benefit is that Regeneration Boost re-captures braking energy that would normally be wasted, putting it back into the battery of the bZ4X. This advanced energy recovery system means you can go even further between charges.

When Regeneration Boost is selected, the Multi information display confirms it.

You can still apply the brake at any time in this mode and for gentler deceleration, lift your foot off the accelerator slowly. Release the accelerator slowly for gentler deceleration, while fully depressing the brake to bring the bZ4X to a complete stop.

To protect the battery, the mode does not function when the battery is almost full. So, Regeneration Boost makes driving easier, more of a pleasure and intuitive, and even adds charge to your battery.
