The new 2024 Toyota bZ4X EV is an exciting new all-electric SUV that offers an impressive range, high-tech features, and flexible charging options. If you're considering making the switch to electric with the bZ4X, one of the key things to understand is how long it takes to charge using the different charging methods available. At Concord Toyota, your Bay Area Toyota dealer, we want to make sure our customers from Colma to Oakland know which chargers to use, and when.
Charging Level Options for the Toyota bZ4X
The bZ4X can be charged using three main levels:
- Level 1 (120V): This is the slowest charging method, using a standard household outlet. While it's convenient, Level 1 charging can take over 50 hours to fully charge the bZ4X's battery. Fine in a pinch, but not ideal for charging on-the-go.
- Level 2 (240V): Level 2 charging uses a 240V outlet, like what an electric dryer or oven uses. With the bZ4X's 7.6 kW onboard charger, it takes about 11 hours to charge from empty. This is a good option for overnight charging at home.
- Level 3 (DC Fast Charging): DC fast charging is the quickest way to charge, allowing you to charge from 0-80% in around just 30 minutes. You'll find these at public charging stations throughout Walnut Creek, Antioch, and beyond, making them perfect for topping up on road trips.
With a full charge, the bZ4X offers a manufacturer-estimated range of up to 222 to 252 miles, depending on the configuration. dAntioch area drivers will appreciate being able to handle their daily commute and errands without needing to stop and recharge.
Lithium-Ion Battery Technology
The bZ4X comes equipped with a high-capacity 71.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. This advanced battery technology allows for efficient charging and discharging, optimized thermal management to maintain battery health, and a design optimized for the bZ4X's sleek SUV body style. Toyota engineers have years of experience perfecting this battery technology across their lineup of electrified vehicles.
Oakland eco-conscious drivers will be glad to know that the bZ4X's battery is backed by a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty for peace of mind. You can count on it to continue delivering reliable, emissions-free performance for many years to come.
