Learn More About Our Beyond Zero Options
Looking for a great automobile? You're in the right place when you shop at Toyota Santa Maria. With so many options that support our Beyond Zero program, you're certain to find the right vehicle for you. Before you begin your search, let the team at Toyota Santa Maria introduce you to the different types of qualifying vehicles. Take a look at how we categorize our electrified models and what each offers.

Hybrid EV's
Hybrid electric vehicles are most similar to the traditional Toyota models you're familiar with driving. These vehicles run on gasoline, keeping you headed to the gas station to refuel when it's time. Hybrid EVs use electric motors to supplement the performance of your combustion engine, giving you more driving distance, while they use regenerative braking to recharge on their own.

Plug-In Hybrid EV
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles make noticeable changes to your driving lifestyle. These models employ a combustion engine with a helpful supplementation from electric motors. Plug-in hybrid EVs give drivers the option to experience all-electric driving for short distances. You will need gasoline, but you can also charge your vehicle at home. Additionally, these models use regenerative braking to recharge the battery.

Fuel Cell EV
Fuel Cell electric vehicles are uniquely designed to perform differently. These vehicles employ chemical reactions to power the motor. They don't use gasoline. Fuel Cell EVs use hydrogen from their tanks and oxygen in the air to create a chemical reaction that moves the vehicle and results in water as their tailpipe emissions. They require an appropriate hydrogen station to refuel.

Battery EV
Battery electric vehicles will help you say goodbye to gasoline and combustion engines completely. These models use an all-electric platform to propel you forward. While you're saying goodbye to combustion engines, you can say hello to the whisper-quiet performance they offer. You have the option to charge your vehicle three ways. You can charge from home using a Level I or Level II charger. You can also recharge at a public charging station. As you travel, regenerative braking also plays a role in using kinetic energy to recharge your battery. The power truly is in your hands.

Maximizing Use of Limited Resources

We want to rethink how vehicle parts are created and used. The materials Toyota uses to produce long-range all-electric batteries can be used in many products. The long-range battery that powers one electric vehicle can power six PHEVs or ninety HEVs. We want to think broadly about how we use resources to balance carbon neutrality goals and offer drivers a great choice that balances their personal needs and maximizes limited resources.
