The Toyota iQ EV has been specifically designed as a city commuting vehicle for use in an urban environment.
In the interests of weight saving, packaging and charging times, that range had to be realised with the lowest practical battery capacity. Power efficiency therefore became the key development goal, focusing on a combination of lightweight design and the lowest possible power consumption.
In an EV, the power consumption of the air conditioning system takes up a very high percentage of the total available battery power. To counteract this, the Toyota iQ EV features a low power consumption heat pump air conditioning system, allied to seat heater fitted as standard to directly warm occupants, and a new Heated Windscreen Defroster (HWD) system to clear the screen without the aid of the air conditioning system.
A lower battery capacity also translates into a shorter charging time. Not only can the Toyota iQ EV be fully recharged in approximately three hours, but also, via Fast Charging, its battery can be recharged up to 80% capacity in only 15 minutes, significantly enhancing the convenience and practicality of the new Toyota EV.
