Make Going Electric Easy with Toyota in Santa Maria

If you've been thinking about switching to an electric vehicle (EV), now is a great time to check out what's coming to Toyota Santa Maria. Our electrified inventory will offer an impressive range, powerful performance, and next-gen features to make your transition to electric driving seamless and enjoyable. With a variety of charging options, generous incentives, and Toyota's proven electrified vehicle expertise, Toyota will work to eliminate common concerns about going electric.

Understanding EV Charging: Levels 1, 2 and 3

One of the biggest adjustments with an EV is charging instead of filling up at the pump. The bZ4X makes charging easy to understand with support for multiple charging levels:

  • Level 1 uses a standard 120V household outlet, making it convenient for charging at home overnight, but it is the slowest method.
  • Level 2 requires a 240V outlet or charging station, allowing you to charge several times faster, making it ideal for daily charging at home or work. The bZ4X can charge from low to 80 percent in about 9 hours with Level 2.
  • Level 3, or DC Fast Charging, is the quickest option, charging the bZ4X to 80 percent in under an hour, perfect for charging on the go during road trips through Oceano.

Plenty of Public Charging Stations in Santa Maria and Beyond

You'll have no trouble finding a place to plug in your Toyota EV in the Santa Maria area. There are numerous public Level 2 and DC fast charging stations conveniently located around town, including at the Santa Maria Town Center and several large retailers in Arroyo Grande. If you're headed out on Highway 101, there are fast-charging plazas in cities like San Luis Obispo and Grover Beach, so you can recharge on your way up to Vandenberg or down to Los Angeles.

Toyota Electrified: A History of Innovation and Proven Quality

While the bZ4X is Toyota's first all-electric model, the company has over two decades of experience developing advanced electrified vehicles like the pioneering Prius hybrid. Toyota has sold over 18 million electrified vehicles worldwide, more than any other automaker. This expertise translates to real benefits for Toyota EV owners, including a high-capacity battery engineered for long life, standard AWD for stable traction in any weather, and high-quality construction backed by Toyota's reputation for dependability. Toyota also has partnerships with major charging networks to provide convenient access to charging on the go in Arroyo Grande.

Valuable Incentives and Rebates for EV Buyers

Going electric isn't just good for the planet - it's also great for your wallet, thanks to lucrative federal and state EV incentives. In California, Toyota EV buyers can take advantage of up to $2,000 in state rebates plus a federal tax credit of $7,500. Toyota Santa Maria's finance experts can help you understand these incentives and factor them into your purchase. In some cases, these incentives can reduce your cost by over $9,000. Combining the lower "fuel" costs of electricity versus gas and reduced maintenance needs, the bZ4X offers compelling value over time.

Toyota Santa Maria

With a comfortable, spacious interior, cutting-edge infotainment system, and a full suite of standard driver assistance technologies, the 2025 Toyota bZ4X delivers everything you expect in a modern SUV - just with zero tailpipe emissions. It's offered in three well-equipped trims, including the XLE, Limited, and the sleek Nightshade edition.
