How Does the 2026 Toyota C-HR Work?

Whenever we discuss electric vehicles, we know there is a lot of curiosity about the system in place that gives these vehicles the power they need to work for your life. We're happy to announce that the 2026 C-HR comes with electric motors that are found in the front and rear eAxles, along with a lithium-ion battery that has a capacity of 74.7 kWh, and an 11-kW on-board AC charger. This adds up to as much as 338 horsepower combined, and with standard all-wheel drive, you will never feel like you are lacking power at any point. This is especially true when we tell you that you can get from 0 to 60 mph in around 5 seconds! Electric power doesn't hold the C-HR back; instead, it drives it forward into the future and into your life!

You know how the power of the C-HR is produced, but what about charging? For many of us, charging a vehicle is still fairly foreign as we're mostly used to having to stop at a gas station. Toyota is making sure that the C-HR offers the fastest and most convenient charging possible. The C-HR has a NACS charging port that works with Level Three DC fast-charging, which gives you access to thousands of charging stations across the nation. When you use these charging stations, you can go from 10% to 80% in just about 30 minutes. It's also worth mentioning that you can still use Level One and Level Two charging, so you have three options available to you at all times. We also want to mention the Plug and Charge capability, which reduces the need for multiple mobile charging applications, so you don't have to clutter up your phone.

Your Toyota C-HR comes with a battery pre-conditioning function, which is especially helpful if the temperatures in North Carolina ever dip, or if you're on a road trip to a colder climate. This system brings the battery up to the best temperature for DC fast charging, so it's never lagging. We also love the fact that this BEV comes with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters that you can use to activate and even adjust the regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is turned into electrical energy and is used to continue powering your Toyota. You'll be able to adjust the amount of regenerative braking power for different levels through the paddle shifters. As you can tell, the Toyota C-HR is a well-thought-out ride that is ready for anything.

There is a lot of excitement around the 2026 Toyota C-HR, and for good reason. This BEV is bringing with it more power and charging capabilities than ever before. The Toyota lineup just got more electric, and we hope you will consider getting behind the wheel of this ride.
