It can do up to 150kW DC but the best I’ve seen is 135kW DC. It can charge at Tesla Superchargers that have the Magic Dock built in. As of now it cannot use an adapter at Superchargers. I hope it’ll happen in 2025 but not too sure.

We had a good time! We may try other places that have restaurants close and do charging/food review video!

@@tyhend88 Sounds good. Huck's reminded me of Buc-ee's here and some other markets here. I also have problems road tripping my Ioniq6 because I can't charge at Superchargers yet (except Magic Dock which are not a lot here or anywhere I go.)

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have a bZ4X FWD, like yours, and I'm very happy with it so far. Greetings to you and your brother from Huelva, Spain.

Be sure your car has the latest software update by visiting your dealer.

It's free through EVGO charging stations. Once you create your account in the Toyota app you'll then need to create an account with EVGO but you have to use the same email address. Once that is done then add your credit card to the EVGO app then activate the free charging in the Toyota app. Thanks for watching!

Just the EVGO app.

Congrats! You have to have the same email address for both your Toyota app and the EVGO app plus you have to have a card on file with EVGO before it’ll sync and be free. They do that in case they need to charge you idle fees.

@@tyhend88 Thank you! That worked immediately. I had logged in via Apple on the Toyota App and used my email address on EVgo. I had to update my email to the one I actually use and not the generic one Apple creates for you.

Thanks for the comment! I AM loving my bZ4X so far! I’m approaching 5000 miles. It’s been reliable and has saved me so much money!

@@tyhend88 Good stuff! Had a test drive in a BZ4X a few weeks ago (first EV drive ever for me) and liked it, but ultimately ended up choosing a Nissan Ariya. The has all of the features I could wish for :-).

Are those your friends? ha

That's great! 2024 they definitely improved a lot. I did test drive a Tesla before I bought this, and I do agree it's built better. It's quieter and absorbs road bumps a lot better. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@tyhend88 That’s what building cars for decades (plural) will do for you. ;)

Thanks for watching!

@@rocketrollsvlogs7625 it’s so true haha

@@hohwang9957 I have had my car for 100 or so days and have fast charged about 5 times. The rest of the time I charge at home for a couple of dollars for 250 miles. Gets me through most of my week on $4 of electricity. I love it! Thanks for commenting!

I think the plastic is not as ridged as normal ICE cars but I think they do it to reduce weight. I'll show the paint chips and things once my car gets fixed. Thanks for watching!

@@samanthaforney7126 it’s about the same. Around $.50-.60/KWh. EVGO is free the first year but it seems they don’t care to keep the unit nearest to me up and running. It’s been down for two months.

Our cars won’t fit in the garage with our washer, dryer, and my 60” mower in there. Thanks for commenting!

@@tyhend88 I did pretty close to what you did except I'm using the 14-30 socket for the dryer with a splitter and inside. Around here going to a 200A circuit was $7500 so I did it that way instead.

@@lashlarue59wow that price is insane! I have a 100 amp panel too so that’s why I did a 40 amp breaker. But also I have read the bZ4X maxes out at 7.6KW on AC so 40 amps is fine for me.

That’s awesome!

Me too

FWD. yeah the charging speed was a big factor in me getting the FWD.

The AC does run and you can put it in Room Mode so it uses the charging station power instead of the battery. The AC in the bZ4X is the coldest I’ve ever felt in a car!

@@tyhend88 Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

@@markfitzpatrick6692 thank you for the insight. I figured since Tesla can plug and unplug while on that other EVs could too but looks like that’s not the case.

More to come! Thanks for watching!

Ah okay!

Awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@ተክለእስቲፋኖስ I wish I got paid! I do agree a hybrid is a great option for long travels. You can get over 600 miles per tank on the Camry hybrid!

It depends where you live on the planet. We don’t have nuclear power in Austria 🇦🇹 wind and water power stations nearly everywhere and most homes have solar power panels. This is the way Europe chooses if it’s right we will see. We have no decision …. for the nature. For independence from the east this decision is clear

My commute to work is 45 miles round trip. Mostly highway. I set the cruise at 68mph and let the adaptive cruise do the work. I also do use the one pedal drive.

Nope! It'll turn itself off once the connection is made.

Is yours a US version?

@@tyhend88 Yes. Bought it in Seattle

I am loving it so far! It's an amazing feeling bypassing the gas stations. It's $3.59 a gallon here so I am saving a ton! I leased it. I would not finance it at MSRP. I leased mine with the $16,250 lease rebate. I plan on doing a video explaining how my lease worked out.

@@tyhend88 what are your monthly and total out of pocket? Trying to get a reference point for negotiating my own

For sure!

He said in the video that he isn’t paying for the charging and he was waiting on his wife to finish shopping.

That is correct!

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

I wear them in winter too hah thanks for watching!

I got a bZ4x XLE, and I get up to 280 miles in a mixed driving (city/highway) scenario when not using air conditioning. With AC and driving highway only at 70 mph it’s less - like 220 miles.

I have been getting 260 miles at 100% this summer so far!

They do there is a credit card reader on the machine. They don’t have a rfid card

Yep you can swipe your card on most of the sites.

I do like it! I haven’t bought gas since the first week of April and I’m thrilled about that. My electric bill hasn’t gone up since I can charge free at EVGO. I think it’ll go up slightly next year after the free charging ends. If you can get a good lease on the Solterra I say do it. But it’s kinda hard to justify financing and MSRP. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

this seems like projection

who cares😂? if YOU don’t like it, maybe someone else will😌

I think it is the perfect car for anyone that does not need more than 150-200 miles of driving range daily. Why pay for 300-350 miles of driving range if you don't need it? Let's be honest, other than the low range, what is wrong with the car? Looks is a subjective thing and when it comes to quality, no one tops Toyota. BTW, I am not a Toyota owner.

I fast charge every other day at Evgo. Not sure about the battery life. I hope it will serve me for 10 years.

It can be. Thanks for watching!

Haha I do public charging maybe twice a month. I do work remotely a couple days a week so I’ll plug in and work at a coffee shop while it’s charging. Once the charging isn’t free anymore, I won’t fast charge unless I need to on a trip. Thanks for watching!

Do you need to fast charge every time you drive though? I charged at home last night. Put in 39kWhs at $.10kWh so that’s less than $4. Much better than and ICE vehicle. Yes traveling can be expensive but EA does have a $7/month subscription that knocks the charging price to $.34kWh. Check out my latest video I did of a small road trip. Thanks for watching!

@@tyhend88 Agree with you, but we/I are talking about the masses. I am an EV owner and all my ICE friends are always asking questions about EVs, (which is good)! But when I am asked about costs on a road-trip, for non-Teslas, availability, reliability, and cost of charging, they become somewhat disappointed. Yes home charging is great. I play $0.165/kWh. I am jealous of your $0.10/kWH.

Like he said he doesn’t have the cheapest plan . Read before commenting

@@markfitzpatrick6692Take a chill pill Mark.

That is correct. Nowhere does it show the speed of charging or consumption. The new Chevy Blazer and Equinox both show the power you are using and receiving in KWs. I hope Toyota shows data down the road.

For sure. If you don’t sign up for a monthly subscription for EA or another company then it’s a bit pricy to fast charge.

Bear in mind, though, most people charge 99% of the time at home where electricity is way cheaper than gas

​@@mach1nefan Add to these savings, no brakes, no oil change, no potential engine or transmission failure, and boom, you're saving so much

Also depends on which part of country, there is no comparison in cost of charging vs pumping gas in west coast states, we have 2 cars, 2016 Mazda 6, currently average 27mpg, 2023 model 3 RWD. Gas per gallon around $4.2 now, electricity at .27/kwh (home) and most expensive time to charge at supercharger now at $.51. We average 4 mile per kwh, so to achieve 27mpg, we need 7kwh (7×4=28). Electricity at home $1.89 at supercharger $3.57 (this is the most expensive time to charge, less expensive time to charge around $.31kwh)

I am near Indianapolis, Indiana. There are 3 EVGO stations within 20 miles of me. The closest one is my first two videos. It’s still down and has been for over a month. I keep asking them for an update but they can’t provide anything. I visit it once a week and leave a review on Plug Share every time. I’m driving to the Cincinnati area next week and will record the drive and data.

@@tyhend88 Okay, good. I'm sorry about the EVGO being down. I had a Shell Recharge/Duke Energy charger down near my house (and one near the Beach) and I called Shell Recharge both times. They finally fixed the one near my house after a long time. I drive by and check it and so far so good. Yup, I will watch content when you post it. Talk to you later.
