Toyota’s 2023 Bz4x EV
The bz4x battery size is a midsize EV that comes in either front- or all-wheel drive. It claims to offer a driving range of up to 250 miles and 201 horsepower in its front-wheel-drive models. All-wheel-drive versions get a little less power but have a slightly longer driving range. Its battery is placed flat under the floor, giving it a low center of gravity and helping with its dynamic performance.
Its 6.6-kW onboard charger can fill the bz4x’s battery to 80 percent in nine hours when used with a Level 2 charging station, such as one you could install at your house. You can also charge it to 80% in about an hour on DC fast chargers found at motorway service stations and supermarket car parks.

Toyota’s bz4x is built on an entirely new platform dedicated to EVs called eTNGA, which it calls a “groundbreaking, modular architecture that provides strong rigidity and a low center of gravity.” Its batteries are produced by Panasonic and undergo extensive testing before they go into the cars.
To help drivers make the most of their bz4x’s battery, Toyota has equipped it with a number of useful driver assistance functions, including blind spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alert. It also has a Safe Exit Assist feature that senses when you open your door and will activate a warning in the rearview mirror to let people know you’re ready to exit.
