As a PHEV, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime provides an EPA-estimated 42-mile range. Of course, that range is on a full battery charge. Speaking of which, how exactly do you charge this plug-in hybrid model? Check out this vehicle at Heritage Toyota Catonsville and see how easy it is to charge its battery.
Charging at Home
Charging the Toyota RAV4 Prime at home is easy and intuitive; it’s also how most PHEV owners go about the process each night. To charge, use the Level 1 cable charger that comes with the vehicle. The charger can be plugged into any standard 120-volt three-pronged outlet and takes about 12 hours to acquire a full charge.
Wall-Mounted Charger
For an accelerated charge, you can invest in an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), or Level 2 charger. This is a unit you can purchase and install in your garage and comes in the form of a wall-mounted or freestanding unit. This unit uses a 240-volt outlet and can fully charge the Toyota RAV4 Prime in 2.5 to four hours.
Charging Outside the Home
If you have to charge the vehicle outside the home, you can use one of the roughly 6,600 public charging stations located throughout the U.S. These stations are known as Level 3 chargers, or DC Fast chargers, and they can replenish a battery to 80% in just 30 to 45 minutes. You can pay to use the charger via in-app payment.
