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.

The Power of Choice

Our ever-increasing lineup of vehicles gives you the option to choose how best to conquer the roads while helping us with our mission of true carbon neutrality.

Going Above and Beyond

We're committed to making positive changes that leave positive results. It may be updating our operations, reducing the use of plastics, environmental clean-up efforts, or something different.

Our Beyond Zero Future

The Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 unites us with the same goal – Toyota's Respect for the Planet. By taking these steps, and as your community partner, Toyota Santa Maria will work diligently to be a good steward of the environment.

Hybrid Electric Vehicle Batteries

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.

Empowering Drivers to Reduce Global Carbon Emissions

When you purchase an electrified vehicle at Toyota Santa Maria, you don't have to sacrifice your personal needs. Toyota's vision for carbon neutrality is empowering individual drivers to make the best decisions by providing a wide range of electrified powertrains in body styles, sizes, efficiency, and tastes that match your lifestyle needs.

Our Vision of a More Sustainable Future

Creating positive changes will leave a positive impact on future generations. Conserving our natural resources is important, and Toyota Santa Maria champions this cause.

We do this by:

Carbon

Selling low to zero-emission vehicles that create a much-needed paradigm shift on the roads.

Water

We work to conserve water usage throughout our operations and in our dealership.

Materials

We work to reduce the reliance on single-use packaging while creating more sustainable methods to decrease unnecessary waste.

Biodiversity

We partner with organizations to protect and prioritize the survival of various species throughout our community and in the world.
