Check out our post to learn more about it!

What is the Toyota bZX4 all about?

Toyota is challenging its Electric Vehicle market competitors with the all-new, stylish and stunning bZ4X electric battery car with 250 mile manufacturer-estimated range per full charge. Joining the rest of the exclusive Toyota offerings of EVs including hydrogen fuel cell electrics, electric hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery electric vehicles, the bZ4x is in good company! Toyota’s vision for a carbon neutral future is well on its way to success with more than 24% of the company’s sales coming from EV purchases. We don’t know about you, but that certainly sparks our interest in alternative fuel vehicles.

With striking aerodynamic styling reminiscent of the impressive hammerhead shark, the sleek silhouette is a real eye catcher on the open road as well as just being parked in your driveway. It’s edgy, futuristic, and built to modern day design aesthetics.

The spacious interior has 5 USB ports for your convenience, Qi wireless charging, a fixed panoramic moonroof, digital keys you can control and share with loved ones from the convenience of a tap of your smartphones, and so much more! You’ll find a wide array of intuitive driver assistance for safe, confident driving such as sound-proofing glass, wind-noise reduction features to reduce road noise, and plenty of off-road performance and automated features. The upgraded Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of advanced safety technology includes omni-directional crash-response systems, guardrail detection, improved daytime and low-light detection for cyclists/pedestrians/motorcycles, improved and enhanced Lane recognition, and other incredible standard features.

Is the bZ4X really making an impact on the environment?

Toyota has gone to great lengths to ensure the manufacturing and road use of the bZ4X is environmentally friendly. From the start, production involves a meticulous process which eliminates contamination of battery components and ensures greater durability. The car includes redundant monitoring systems for battery voltage, current, and temperature which detect anormal heating and signs of wear to prevent overheating and damage. By incorporating a high-resistance coolant circulation system, it can more easily prevent short circuits and related fires even if there’s a coolant leak. In addition, the high-capacity battery pack is designed to fit within the floor of the body frame, allowing for more protection and insulation in event of a collision.

How do I charge my car on the road?

Great news! ChargePoint has an incredible network all across North America with Level 2 (25mi/hour charge rate) and Level 3 (DC Fast) chargers installed. They also participate in a vast network of roaming partner station, too. This means that 80% of charging spaces in the US can be accessed by bZ4X drivers conveniently and easily. And with the help of the convenient mobile Toyota App, you can find, use and pay for your charge top-ups with ease. It’s a match made in heaven. Those looking to charge at home can grab a ChargePoint Home Flex Charger.
