The WLTP range figure is an estimate based on the WLTP (Worldwide harmonised Light vehicle Test Procedure) regulations. These are a global standard Toyota follows rigorously. Use range will deviate from the WLTP value when key factors, including speed, road surface, driving behaviour and ambient temperature, differ from those specified in the WLTP test cycle. Toyota’s bZ4X website and brochure show a WLTP combined cycle EV range up to 505km but variables may cause the use range to be lower. Please consult our range calculator to anticipate your real-world range in specific conditions, such as temperature, wheel size, Driving Mode and air-conditioning setting.

For example, during winter months (temperature below 10 degrees C), the range may vary between 320km to 390km. Whereas during summer months (above 10 degrees C) the range may vary between 390km and up to 500kms. Further deviation from these values might also be possible under prevailing conditions.

Selecting the Eco Driving Mode will increase efficiency and maximise use range, as will activating the Auto Eco Mode for the heater. Also consider turning off the air-conditioning when not required, and remember the bZ4X’s heated seats and steering wheel are a more energy-efficient way of staying warm than turning up the heater. Ensure your tyre pressures are correctly adjusted. Low pressures will reduce use range. Winter tyres also consume more electricity on dry roads than summer tyres. Carrying unnecessary weight will increase energy usage, so be sure to remove surplus items from the car. Finally, consider modifying your driving behaviour. Driving at a constant, moderate speed wherever possible, avoiding unnecessary acceleration and braking, will help you go further on a charge. When you do need to alter your speed, do so smoothly to decrease your energy usage.

Our electric vehicles are built to the same high quality, durability and reliability standards as any other Toyota, and their batteries are engineered to last. The battery will retain at least 70 per cent of its capacity up to 10 years – this is covered by the following:

i)  The original EV Manufacturing Warranty until 8 years or 160, 000 kilometres, and

ii)  With the additional Extended Battery Care. This battery care covers up to 10 years or 1 million kilometres driven (whichever comes first) and it is activated by an annual EV Health Check (Ts&Cs apply).

A charge from a 10% state of charge to 80% can be achieved in 45 minutes* with 150kW DC charging in optimal conditions. To protect battery health and longevity, DC fast charging performance is reduced once the state of charge reaches 80%. Please consult our charging time calculator to estimate your charging time. Simply input your specific conditions, such as the type of charger you’re using and the ambient temperature.

*Subject to local conditions. To ensure effective charging and preserve battery health, the bZ4X’s DC fast charging power may be reduced temporarily (for around 24 hours) after 3.8 10-80% fast charging sessions in a day. Other factors, such as lower temperatures, may affect charging time.

These letters refer to different charger voltages. With its 400-volt electrical architecture, the bZ4X can be charged with both a K charger (voltage between 50 and 500) and an L charger (voltage between 200 and 920) without issue.

Charging your electric vehicle is simple and convenient. Installing a wall box at home is a great way to ensure your electric car is always ready to go – simply plug it in when you get home. It’s also possible to charge from a domestic socket with the vehicle’s charging cable, though charging will take longer than it would via a wall box.

For fast and convenient charging on the go, an expanding network of rapid chargers in locations like motorway service stations and supermarket car parks could have you back on the road in as little as 45 minutes*. Please consult our charging time calculator to estimate your charging time. Simply input your specific conditions, such as the type of charger you’re using and the ambient temperature.

Cars built before January 2023 have a 7kW onboard battery charger (OBC). With a current of 32 amps, the minimum time to fully charge is 10 hours. Cars produced as of February 2023 have an 11kW OBC, meaning the car can be fully charged in 6.5 hours with an 11kW charge point. Please consult our charging time calculator to estimate how long charging will take in specific conditions, such as the type of charger and ambient temperature.
