Toyota Teams Up for Smarter EV Charging in Europe: Cheaper Bills and Greener Grid from 2026
Toyota Motor Europe has exciting news for electric car owners. The company announced fresh partnerships with energy providers to make charging easier, cheaper, and better for the planet. Starting in 2026, Toyota customers in the UK will use smart-charging services from British Gas. In Germany, the partner will be The Mobility House Energy.
These smart systems work in a simple way. They automatically move charging to times when electricity is cheapest and the grid is not busy. This usually means late night or early morning hours. Customers do not need to remember anything. The car and charger talk to each other and pick the best time.
Owners will get a special mobile app. With the app, they can:
- See charging plans
- Control charging from anywhere
- Choose to charge when there is a lot of wind or solar power available
- Earn rewards and money back for helping balance the grid
These rewards come from demand-side response (DSR) programs. When many people charge smartly, the power grid stays stable. This reduces the need for dirty power plants that run only during busy hours.
Toyota says this plan helps everyone. Customers pay less on bills. The grid becomes stronger and cleaner. More renewable energy like wind and solar can be used. It also saves money that would be spent on building new power lines and stations.
The company does not plan to stop with the UK and Germany. More European countries will join soon. In the future, Toyota wants to add vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. This means the car battery can send power back to your home or even to the main grid when needed. Your Toyota EV will work like a big power bank on wheels. This will give owners extra benefits and help during power shortages.
Toyota’s message is clear: electric cars should not just take power. They should help create a smarter and greener energy system for all of Europe.
