Similar to a HEV, PHEV and traditional gasoline engine vehicle, a vehicle’s range is dependent on a variety of factors. Driving range may decrease significantly depending on speed, outside temperature, accessory use, driving style, and terrain. For example, rapid acceleration or aggressive driving can reduce efficiency, and uphill driving requires more energy, lowering the range. Charging habits, such as frequent fast charging, may also affect long-term battery health. Additionally, battery capacity decreases over the life of the vehicle, which will naturally reduce range.
EV charging habits, planning ahead (charge to 80% for your daily commute, charge to 100% when you need access to the full range of your EV), and knowing how and when to pick between the different charging options (Level 1, 2, and 3) all play a role in optimizing battery life.

The expected kilometers remaining can always be found on the right side of the Multi-Information Display (MID). Like other Toyota vehicles, this figure is an estimate determined by your driving habits, and may not accurately predict actual EV range if your driving pattern changes.
The State of Charge Gauge on the meter display is similar to a conventional fuel gauge. If you’d like to see a state of charge percentage, you can find this inside the Toyota app once your vehicle is registered. Note that this is an estimate and may vary based on your driving pattern and other factors.
No matter your preference, we recommend not allowing your state of charge to get too low, particularly on your first few drives as the bZ4X learns about your driving habits, and you become accustomed to the vehicle’s range and your available charging options.

While we hope this does not happen to you, Roadside Assistance3 can provide towing to your home, or the nearest public EV charging station to help get you back on the road.
With your new car warranty, Roadside Assistance is included for three years for unlimited kilometers.
If towing the bZ4X or using another roadside service, be sure to refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information about necessary towing precautions.
EV Charging
-
The electric vehicle charging process is similar to that of filling up a gasoline vehicle—simply insert the connector into the vehicle and charging will begin. The charging process may vary slightly, as there are different types of charging equipment and power sources that may be used. bZ4X includes a Level 1 charging cable that can be plugged into a standard 120-Volt wall outlet, and it is possible to set a charging schedule to take advantage of varying electricity rates throughout the day.
Customers who own a home may wish to purchase a Level 2 home charger to increase their charging speed. Level 2 charging operates at 240 volts and will require the installation of a 240 volt outlet in the home or hard wiring into the panel. Please use a licensed electrician for installation of a home charger.
Customers can charge in public using Level 2 chargers or Level 3 DC Fast Chargers4 under ideal conditions. Public EV charging stations5 can be found through the Toyota App.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more detail on how to charge bZ4X and the available charging options.

The charge inlet door is located on the driver’s side front quarter panel.
-
We recommend charging your battery electric vehicle as often as needed to maintain a sufficient state of charge for your anticipated trips, with consideration of available EV charging methods at your destinations.
-
Depending on the type of electric vehicle charger, we recommend charging to certain limits to maintain the long-term battery health.
- AC (Level 1 and Level 2): For battery optimization it is recommended to charge to 80%, and then charge to 100% when you need the additional range. Once 100% is reached, it will stop charging to help preserve the battery.
- DC Fast Charging (Level 3)1: We recommend charging to 80% to achieve the maximum benefit of the quick charging speed. It is possible to charge to 100% with this method, but the charging rate will automatically be reduced once it reaches 80% to help preserve the battery. To help maintain long-term EV battery health, DC Fast Charging should be limited to three cycles of charging (Low → 80%) per day throughout the year, regardless of the weather.
-
The bZ4X is equipped with a standard J1772 connector for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging and a CCS1 connector for DC Fast Charging (Level 3).
Either DC Fast Charging or AC charging may be used at any time when charging the vehicle. Currently, bZ4X customers are not able to charge on the Tesla charging network.
-
The bZ4X can be charged at home with the provided Level 1 charging cord or available Level 2 charging solutions, or at public EV charging stations with Level 2 Chargers and Level 3 DC Fast Chargers5. Note that DC Fast Charging is limited to three cycles of charging (Low → 80%) per day throughout the year, regardless of the weather.
-
The bZ4X includes a Level 1 charging cord that can be plugged into any standard three-prong 120V outlet. While this is likely the most accessible charging method, it may not be suited for all drivers due to the slower charging rate.
For faster EV charging at home, you may wish to purchase a Level 2 home charger and have it installed by a licensed electrician.
-
The bZ4X will charge with any network that has a J1772 (Level 2) or CCS 1 (DC Fast Charging) connector, including ChargePoint, Flo and EV Connect. You can find the nearest public electric vehicle charging stations near you on the Toyota app.
Currently, bZ4X customers are not able to charge on the Tesla charging network.

Charging speed can impact the lifespan of the high-voltage (HV) battery. Frequent use of fast charging may generate heat and shorten battery life, while standard charging is gentler and helps preserve it. It's also best to avoid charging from 0% to 100% regularly and to keep the battery in a moderate charge range (20%-80%) for optimal longevity.
-
DC charging times should be limited to three sessions per day, regardless of external air temperatures. After three 10-80% charge sessions, DC Fast Charging over the next 24 hr period may take longer and be less effective. Public charging experience will vary based on charger type and charger specifications (Level 2 or DC Fast Charger with 150 KW or above) and other factors including vehicle and environmental conditions. Charging times can also vary depending on the actual charging rate realized by the charging station, which can be highly variable and often below the maximum stated rate of charge. Toyota does not own or operate public charging stations and is not responsible for their availability or performance. Always plug-in/charge vehicle in accordance with Owner’s Manual.

Three words: convenience, fun and potential savings.
Electric vehicles can be conveniently charged at home, overnight and on-demand, as well as at public charging stations when out and about. No more trips to the gas station needed.
They’re also fun to drive, thanks to the immediate torque response from the electric motors, as well as the smooth acceleration and quiet cabin.
Drivers won’t just save money by avoiding the gas pump, either—they may also be able to enjoy federal and provincial incentives.
And as icing on the cake, driving an all-electric vehicle can also help the environment by reducing CO2 emissions.
-
Thanks to the use of electric motors instead of internal combustion engines, all-electric vehicles provide smooth acceleration, immediate torque response and a surprisingly quiet ride experience.

The Top-Mount MID is designed to keep your eyes on the road. Positioned similarly to a Head-Up Display, it contains all the information you need, including the speedometer and charge meter.
For the optimal experience, we recommend adjusting your seat and steering wheel, so the top of the steering wheel is positioned below your view of the MID.
-
Regeneration boost has been developed to increase coasting deceleration via regeneration. Utilizing its electric motors, Regenerative Braking Boost allows the convenience of accelerating and decelerating with just one pedal. Press down the pedal to accelerate and let go to decelerate.
When not depressing the accelerator, the vehicle will continually slow down to ~8 kph (~5 mph). For your safety, it is necessary to apply the brake pedal to come to a complete stop. It may also be necessary to apply the brake pedal when needing to slow down more quickly.
If you’d like to turn off the Boost mode, simply hit the Boost button again and the indicator will turn off on the MID.

X-MODE®6 improves the vehicle’s traction off road, by optimizing throttle control and wheel slip based on the condition selected.
X-MODE®6 has two separate driving modes:
- SNOW/DIRT, mode reduces the power to the wheels to help minimize wheel slippage, while controlling wheelspin in a manner that directs power to wheels that may have more grip.
- DEEP SNOW/MUD mode increases the power to the wheels and adjusts the traction management to allow for additional wheelspin than normal to help build momentum getting out of deep snow or mud.
- In both modes, Grip Control can be utilized to maintain a low vehicle speed on steep inclines and slippery roads without stepping on the accelerator pedal or brake pedal. This constant speed is useful when navigating tricky terrain.

According to NRCan, you can expect charging costs of up to $634 per year with the bZ4X 7. Exact EV charging costs may vary based on your local electricity rates.
Rates for charging an EV are measured in cents per kilowatt hour. Charging at home is the most cost-effective option, as one can charge their bZ4X when rates are lowest. Public charging rates are more expensive and will vary based on time of day and the various prices charged by the different charging station operators.
-
Like all Lithium-Ion batteries, there will be some reduction in capacity over the life of the battery. For peace of mind, Toyota provides all bZ4X owners an EV Component Warranty of 8 years/160,000 kms, which includes the traction battery.
-
bZ4X’s traction battery is virtually maintenance-free; however, it does require periodic inspections to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible.
