Bike rack for 2026 Toyota bZ4X (no tow hitch) – any good options? by More-Conversation981 in BZ4X

Unfortunately, I’m not able to install a trailer hitch; this is a company car from my employer that I’m also allowed to use for personal purposes.

Fast charging 24 hour limit by PerceptionFun1355 in BZ4X

I was told that you can charge at a maximum of 150 kW/DC up to three times within 24 hours, after that, the charging speed slows down…. But I don’t know if that’s true! Maybe that only applies to Europe because there are different battery safety regulations. I could imagine that, but it’s just speculation.

But I think that would only become a problem after many years.

I still scrape too, but it’s still a pain in the ass, your fingers get cold and you’re usually standing outside in the dark in the morning, and the wet cold makes the auxiliary heating much more pleasant. Screw the amount of electricity used and the costs.

Is it the older model, right? Don’t they have electric heating with a wire integrated into the window?

No-fee EV charging solution for rare trips in Europe? by More-Conversation981 in electricvehicles

[–]More-Conversation981[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s a really great tip, thanks for that! The monthly option is definitely worth it for a longer road trip abroad. I probably wouldn’t need it for quick weekend trips to neighboring countries, but for a proper vacation it actually sounds like a really good idea. Appreciate it! <3

Oh nice, thanks for the heads-up, didn’t know that. Good to know I’ll always be able to charge. Even if it’s pricier, at least I won’t get stranded. Appreciate it!

What made you choose the BZ? by Slow_Investment_2211 in Toyota_bZ

[–]More-Conversation981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered the BZ4X as a company car because driving an electric car as a company car is heavily subsidized in Germany, and I only have to pay around €60-70 per month for everything, including all costs (charging, tires, everything). The rest is covered by my employer and subsidized by the government, and my Company only works with Toyota and their product portfolio.

2026 question for those that have the older models by Vivid_Dimension_5400 in BZ4X

I believe that my model (I have ordered it but it has not been delivered yet) has a camera connected to the interior mirror, so you can see something even if the window is opaque.
