Buyers also receive a year of free charging at EVgo locations. At a DC fast-charger, Toyota claims that adding 80 percent charge takes just under an hour, with peak charging rates of 150 kW for the front-drive variants and 100 kW for the all-wheel-drive models. With a Level 2 supply, the 6.6-kW onboard charger can replenish the battery in 9 hours. If you're doing mostly city driving, you might not feel the range pinch as much, but this result ties the Nissan Leaf for the lowest highway result among EVs. When we tested a dual motor model, we were disappointed with its 160-mile highway range result.

The EPA range estimates for the FWD, single-motor model are 242/252 miles (Limited/XLE), while the all-wheel-drive version comes in at 222/228 miles. The two bZ4X powertrains have nearly identical batteries: a 63.4-kWh battery pack in the single-motor version and a 65.5-kWh pack in the dual-motor model.

The bZ4X's ride is compliant over bumps without feeling overly soft, and the steering has a decent amount of weighting. At our test track, the most powerful dual-motor version managed a 6.4-second run to 60 mph, which is respectable but hardly exhilarating. In our initial test drive, we noted perky acceleration in both the front- and all-wheel drive versions but you shouldn't expect to beat any Teslas in a drag race.

That's a lot less than the all-wheel-drive ID.4 (295 horsepower) or the all-wheel-drive Hyundai Ioniq 5 (320 hp). The all-wheel-drive version has two motors, but power increases only slightly, to 215 horsepower.
