Steve312 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Having just completed a 1000 mile round trip, I found the BZ4X to have approximately a 100 mile range between charges. I had set my trip planner, ABRP, to arrive at charging stations with 30% SOC in case the station was occupied or broken. The dismal charging speed I experienced in 50-60 deg F weather meant that I would typically spend 75 min per charge to get from 30% to 70%. Charging speeds would often start out at 35-45 KW but would then drop to 16 KW after a short time. The one time I tried to charge past 70%, I experienced 4KW speeds. I will never try this again. A 500 trip (each way) that would typically take 8 hrs in an ICE took 14.5 hrs. The BZ4X is seriously rangebound.

Toyota Owners Club Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Wow! that's insanity. Certainly the weather/ambient temperature will have an effect on the batteries and charge rate but it certainly is not a viable form of transport if you encounter stations which are out of order or need to be somewhere in a set time. Thanks for sharing this information with the club....always handy to know if you are in the market for this model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
