CURIOUS ABOUT EVS?
Here are some answers to FAQs for drivers interested in making the switch.
MAZDA ELECTRIFIED - THE PODCAST
ELECTRIFIED POWERTRAINS
Our dedication to purposeful design has resulted in three powerfully performing, electrified Mazda powertrains. These e-Skyactiv systems power Mazda’s first electric SUV lineup.
HYBRID (HEV)
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) offer a true blend of gas and electric power for a versatile drive that adapts on demand. With the ability to switch between power sources, they put the driver in control of how they experience the road.
MILD HYBRID (MHEV)
The Mild Hybrid powertrain, also known as MHEV, harmonizes combustion engine performance and EV technology. It uses energy recovered by a compact lithium-ion battery in low-impact driving scenarios to reduce CO2 emissions. Mild Hybrids are suited for drivers who want the efficiency benefits of electrification, but love the traditional performance of fuel-powered engines.
Seamlessly weaving together the best of combustion and electrification, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) house a larger battery than that of an MHEV, meaning it can be charged to travel longer distances on electricity alone. With the control of switching between an efficient gasoline engine and pure battery power, drivers can count on an impressive performance at higher speeds and on lengthier journeys.2
BATTERY ELECTRIC (BEV)
Battery electric vehicles, more commonly known as EVs, rely solely on the electric power from an onboard battery. EVs are charged via an electric power source, producing zero tailpipe emissions on quieter drives with instant acceleration. A more compact battery in our flagship MX-30 EV has a significantly reduced impact on emissions while providing the right amount of range for everyday drivers with less demanding commutes.
TYPES OF CHARGERS
Mild Hybrid EVs (MHEVs) and Hybrid EVs (HEVs) do not need to be plugged in to charge like Plug-in Hybrid EVs (PHEVS) or Battery EVs (BEVs). No matter how quickly or how often you need to charge your PHEV or BEV, there are levels of chargers that suit your driving needs at home and on the go.
This charger is included with your vehicle to deliver power using a dual level charge cord capable of charging at both levels 1 and 2. By simply plugging your vehicle’s charger into a standard household outlet, Level 1 charging is as easy as charging your smartphone. Level 2 charging, however, requires professional installation of a 240-volt outlet.
Level 2 chargers offer faster charging speeds while still drawing AC power from the grid. These allow owners the convenience of charging quickly and on demand at home or at charging stations on the go. For home use, Level 2 chargers require professional installation of a 240-volt outlet and are dependent on a building’s age and power grid. Consult a professional electrician before installation.
Level 3 chargers are the fastest way to charge your EV. These aren’t typically installed in residential areas because they use DC power, but can be found in public or commercial charging stations in charging networks across Canada.
An engine supported by an electric motor produces instant acceleration and an effortless power transfer between combustion and electricity. Plus, MHEVs provide a greater return on fuel in stop and go traffic.
EXPLORE CX-70 MHEV EXPLORE CX-90 MHEVA true blend of gas and electric power, HEVs offer flexibility for those who crave a versatile experience. The combined powertrains offer greater control over preferred driving styles and adapt on demand, using electric assistance for smoother, quieter rides and gasoline for longer stretches. No need to plug in – just enjoy enhanced efficiency and refined performance.
Explore CX-50 HYBRIDA plug-in hybrid is a more advanced iteration of a traditional hybrid drivetrain. Although traditional hybrids function similarly to a PHEV, the option to plug in and charge results in a dedicated EV driving range, allowing drivers to travel considerable distances on battery power alone.2

A fully electric vehicle typically accrues lower overall maintenance costs vs gasoline engine vehicles. EVs focus on travelling even greater distances on battery power alone, providing zero tailpipe emissions without compromising on performance and the feature comfort drivers expect from their Mazdas.

THE BENEFITS OF GOING ELECTRIC
Begin building your Mazda EV or hybrid to discover eligible government rebates across Canada. Certain conditions may apply.
ChargePoint provides a comprehensive network of charging stations for EV owners, enabling convenient and accessible charging solutions across Canada.
The CX-70 Plug-in Hybrid, CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid and MX-30 EV are granted access to High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes in Ontario and British Columbia. Even when carrying a single occupant, their environmental benefits allow them to travel more conveniently in these designated lanes.

EXPLORE1The charging time is based on a battery/ambient temperature of 20° C. The actual charging time depends on the various conditions at the time of charging, such as the type of fast charging station, battery status, charging habits and the battery and ambient temperature. In cold conditions, both the battery and the ambient temperature affect the required charging time, which in certain situations can lead to a significant increase in the charging time.
2In cold weather temperature, the engine may start and use fuel, even with a fully charged battery. The use of the engine is required to ensure proper heating of the passenger cabin. Make sure there is fuel in the tank.
3Combined range estimate based on preliminary testing by Mazda. Once confirmed, the official range rating will be published in the applicable NRCan Fuel Consumption Guide. Full battery charge is required. Actual driving range will vary depending upon driving/charging habits, speed, conditions, weather, temperatures, and battery age.
