Toyota Proace Verso Electric

The Toyota Proace Verso Electric is powered by a 50kW electric motor that is quiet and smooth and offers a range of between 100-140 miles *depending on the weight of the vehicle (passengers and luggage), the types of roads you’re driving, and the electric your using inside the car – like air con or heating. So you can confidently complete close-to-home drop-offs and pick-ups or undertake longer journeys.

Charging the Proace Verso Electric is straightforward, with multiple options available to suit different needs. It supports both AC and DC fast charging, allowing you to recharge the battery up to 80% in just under an hour using a fast charger. For schools or organisations with access to a charging station, this can mean minimal downtime between trips. For slower charging at home a full charge using a standard wall box takes about 7 hours, making overnight charging convenient.

The Proace Verso Electric does not compromise on the practicality that the Proace is known for. It offers the same flexible seating options as its diesel counterpart, with room for up to 8 passengers. The modular seating can be adjusted to prioritise either passengers or their luggage, making it versatile enough for various needs, from transporting students to carrying sports equipment.

Comfort and technology have not been overlooked. The quiet electric motor makes for a more relaxing ride, and the infotainment system features smartphone connectivity, navigation, and more, ensuring that drivers and passengers stay informed and entertained.

Toyota has equipped the Proace Verso Electric with a range of safety features designed to protect passengers. These include advanced driver assistance systems such as lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. The electric version maintains the same structural integrity and safety standards as the combustion-engine models, making it a secure choice for transporting people. The regenerative braking system is effective, helping to extend the driving range by recovering energy during deceleration.

Costs and the Environment

With electric vehicles, it’s important to consider the long-term savings. Operating costs for EVs are generally lower due to cheaper electricity compared to fuel, and reduced maintenance needs (thanks to fewer moving parts). For schools, businesses, and other organisations, these savings can make a significant difference over time, especially if you are paying to enter low-emission or clean air zones.
