Toyota bZ4X
charging guide
The bZ4X is Toyota's first mass-market EV. The 2026 refresh is a big step up: a native NACS port, a larger battery and 11 kW AC charging. Earlier cars are much slower on both AC and DC.
Charging at home
The 2026 refresh accepts 11 kW at 48 amps. The 2023–2025 cars were limited to 6.6 kW, which means a 32-amp charger was the practical maximum. Check the model year before buying a circuit.
How long does it take?
These estimates assume a 10–90% charge, 240 V AC and 90% efficiency. Cold weather, a cold battery or a shared circuit will slow things down.
| Circuit | Power | Range added | 10–90% time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32 A | 7.68 kW | 24 mi/hr | 8h 16m |
| 40 A | 9.6 kW | 30 mi/hr | 6h 37m |
| 48 A | 11 kW | 35 mi/hr | 5h 46m |
Estimates use the car's 11 kW onboard charger. If your trim has a smaller unit, the 32 A row is the practical ceiling. Want your own numbers? Use the charging time calculator.
Can you use a Tesla Supercharger?
2023–2025 cars use CCS1 and need Toyota's NACS-to-CCS1 adapter for Tesla stations. The 2026 model has a native NACS port. Peak DC power is about 150 kW on the newer pack.
