Toyota and Tesla agreement for Toyota electric vehicles
Toyota–Lexus has just announced that it has reached an agreement with Tesla to adopt the North American Charging Standard on its electric vehicles. Now, Clermont Toyota EV owners will be able to use one of the 12,000 charging stations across the country for faster, more convenient charging. We’re going to make it simple for you and break it down.
I would add a small paragraph here about how it won’t be until 2025 and adapters will be made available then
The Tesla-Toyota agreement will be in effect starting in 2025 and adapters will be made available then. That means that it will start being manufactured for the 2025 Toyota electric models.
How long does it take to charge an electric car?
When first getting a Toyota electric vehicle there are millions of questions that you need to know the answer to – especially how long does it take to charge an electric car? Knowing EV charging time and how to charge your Toyota electric vehicle is important. Let’s get started.
To start, there are three different types of EV chargers – and you will find two of them available to the public and two of them will be available to charge at home.
Level 1: Basic Charger
120-volt, very low
Can charge anywhere with a household 3-prong outlet
Estimated EV charging time: It takes a long time to charge your Clermont Toyota electric vehicle with this charger - usually around 40-50 hours. If you don’t have enough time, this may increase your EV range anxiety.
Level 2: Most Common Charger
240-volt, double the basic charger
Need home installation by a licensed electrician, which can be costly.
Estimated electric vehicle charging time: 4-10 hours depending on your Clermont Toyota model
Can be found in public and at home.
Level 3: Supercharger
Also known as ‘DC fast charging’.
Only available in public charging stations. Check out where the nearest EV charging stations are in Clermont, Florida.
Estimated electric vehicle charging time: 20 minutes – 1 hour for about 80%
Typically found in public. These cost thousands and thousands of dollars to install, so definitely not one that’s worth putting in your home.
Examples of a DC fast charging connector are the CCS Connector, CHAdeMO connector, and Telsa Connector (which Toyota is now implementing for 2025 Toyota electric vehicles).
