Highlights: The bZ4X Electric comes with a built-in three-phase charger with a charging power of up to 11 kilowatts. It enables faster electric charging of the vehicle and a significant shortening of the charging time, which will be between 6.5 and 10 hours. The vehicle comes with an updated software version that provides improved charging and a more accurate range display. In total, your cumulative annual savings will amount to almost NIS 10,000! If you drive 15,000 km a year (the average mileage in Israel), you can save about NIS 6,500 on energy compared to a gasoline vehicle.


Many Israelis have been switching to an electric vehicle in recent years, and one of the most popular and attractive brands in this segment is Toyota's electric bZ4X


Comes with a built-in three-phase charger with a charging power of up to 11 kW/p.m

Not many know this, but the first car brand that brought the world, and Israel in particular, the news of the electric revolution was Toyota with the Prius, the first mass-produced hybrid-electric vehicle in the world.

Since the production of the first hybrid-electric vehicle in 1997, Toyota has sold over 18 million hybrid-electric cars and according to estimates, Toyota's hybrid-electric vehicles have saved more than 120 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions through the company's advanced technology.



A leader in vehicle technologies for years



Toyota is therefore considered a world leader in hybrid electric drive technologies and about a year ago it introduced to Israel its new electric version of the beloved bZ4X model (this is in addition to its gasoline vehicles and hybrid-electric vehicles).



Fast electric charging and accurate range display



The bZ4X Electric comes with a built-in three-phase charger with a charging power of up to 11 kilowatts (compared to a sold single-phase socket) and it enables faster electric charging of the vehicle and a significant shortening of the charging time, which will be between 6.5 and 10 hours.

In addition, the vehicle comes with an updated software version that provides improved charging and a more accurate range display.

The software update is performed free of charge for all bZ4X customers at authorized Toyota service centers.

In total, your cumulative annual savings will amount to almost NIS 10,000!/relationship

A driving range of over 500 km*; exceptional battery efficiency



If there is something that is sometimes discouraging when switching to an electric vehicle, it is the driving range of the battery. The Toyota bZ4X has good news in this regard as well and the vehicle's driving range is over 500 km M*.

In addition, the manufacturer declares an exceptional battery efficiency designed to reach 90% of its efficiency as new, after a period of 10 years.

In light of these exceptional performances and a particularly high level of reliability, Union Motors allows the purchase of a battery warranty extension of up to 10 years or a million kilometers (the warranty extension is subject to inspection). When the manufacturer believes in the results in this way, it means everything. A



very significant saving in money



along with lowering Emissions and preserving the quality of the environment, in switching to an electric vehicle there is also an economic consideration. Indeed, switching to an electric vehicle is expressed in saving quite a bit of money every year. For example, if you drive 15,000 km a year (the average mileage in Israel), then only in the consumption section You can save about NIS 6,500 on energy compared to a gasoline vehicle in the same category.

In the maintenance aspect you can save NIS 332 and in the licensing fee section you can save NIS 3,036.



In total, your cumulative annual savings will amount to almost NIS 10,000!

If you multiply this by several years, you will already reach very dramatic amounts, not to mention drivers with higher annual mileage.

If you want to check for yourself how much money you can save depending on your average annual mileage, go to Toyota's calculator and find out the answer.
