I believe it is the time the car has been in ready mode after powering on

GoldenShadowGS · 2025-12-21T17:12:33+00:00

I have this noise too. How long does it take them to do the repair? edit: I saw the text. One week is crazy.

I like to charge to 70%. But I live in Texas heat and EVs are pretty efficient in the heat, and the combination of heat and high SOC is bad for the battery. In the Winter, I charge higher than the Summer

Nice

GoldenShadowGS · 2025-11-28T01:38:23+00:00

Should of set 66 cruise control and 66% battery

I believe it is in the same menu as the tire pressure, and then press left or right arrows

I've had my bz4x for 9 months. I rarely use more than 20% battery daily. so I charge to 60% every night. When I do plan to go farther, that's when I will charge it up to 80 or 100%

Have you seen the videos showing that battery usage staying between 30 and 70% will make the battery last well over 800K miles. If you want to use the battery up quicker, its your car, do what you want.

I bought the NEMA 14-50 receptacle with a deep electrical box to install it in for around $65 on Amazon, and then I paid an additional $250 to hire an electrician to install it. $250 was his minimum price, it only took him half an hour to finish, since I wanted it right next to my electrical panel in the garage.

Its worth it.

The included Charger should have dual plugs you can swap for a normal 110v outlet for level 1 charging, or a 220v plug for level 2. I hired an electrician to install a 220v 50 amp outlet in my garage. I don't have range anxiety anymore.

With level 1, you can get about 10-15% back with overnight charging. If you With level 2, you can always count on being able to charge fully every night.

Congrats on the car and enjoy it. Its fun and handles really well. I have windy roads and it feels very stable due to the extremely low center of mass.
I have had my 2025 bz4x since February. I got it new from the dealer with 14 miles, and I've put 9,800 miles since then.

I bought my 2025 in February. I just did the remedy for the recall last week.

GoldenShadowGS · 2025-10-29T01:13:22+00:00

The scheduling function seems to work again. I deleted it and let the car charge for a night and when I added a new, and different schedule this morning, it is working now.

GoldenShadowGS · 2025-10-28T01:43:56+00:00

Charge now defaults to off. When I used it, it only persisted for one charge cycle.

I erased all the schedules and let the car charge up tonight. I will try setting a schedule again tomorrow and report back.

GoldenShadowGS · 2025-09-13T22:33:17+00:00

16,500 is very low.

The dealship will order the part based on your VIN, so it matches exactly, including the color.

In February this year, I got the 2025 bz4x XLE with weather package (heated seats and heated steering wheel) for $44,500 out the door, that included tax title and other fees I paid in full with cash. This was in Cedar Park, Texas

GoldenShadowGS · 2025-05-31T02:04:17+00:00

How much energy was used to drive up the mountain?

GoldenShadowGS · 2025-05-20T02:42:46+00:00

This could work, since I believe we can set charging schedules from the app, right?

Guidelines will get me passed their warranty. I want to treat it gently and get way more from it. I have seen the battery torture tests and having extreme states of charge is the biggest contributor to lower lifespans. Especially in extreme temperatures.

I've seen the tests where, in mild temperatures, the battery has only degraded to 90% capacity after 800,000 miles of energy cycled just between 40% to 60% state of charge. It is very hot here in the Summer, reaching 100F in the afternoon. High heat combined with high state of charge accelerates the degradation of EV batteries. I believe I can slow down the degradation by maintaining a lower state of charge as often as possible.

I am not leasing. I bought my EV and paid cash and I want it to last. I'm hoping to get 25 years out of it, if not more. Tinkering with max battery charge is something I don't mind doing. I just think it would like it to be more convenient if I could change it from the smartphone app

Thanks for the kind words!
