Some people tend to have things like range anxiety, but you won't need to worry about anything when you choose us as your dealership. Let's get you started on this journey!
Can you tell me about the different levels of charging for my electric vehicle?
- Level 1 - 120-volt: The first charging level that is available for charging electric vehicles utilizes a 120-volt outlet to bring you reliable charging no matter where you are! This is the ideal solution for anyone with a quick drive and access to a common household outlet. Included with every Toyota EV is a dual-voltage charging cable, so you'll always be able to take advantage of this charging level.
- Level 2 - 240-volt: The option that sits in the middle of the charging lineup is Level 2, or 240-volt charging. This allows you to charge your Toyota bZ from 10% to 100% in just around seven hours, which you can see is ideal when you have the correct charging station installed in your home. However, you can also use public Level 2 stations, which are great for topping off your charge!
- Level 3 - DC Fast Charging: The last charging level you need to know about is DC Fast Charging, known as Level 3. Why is this charging level so impressive? Well, it's public only, but it does get you up to an 80% charge in just 30 minutes. You read that right! You don't have to spend long at all here to be prepared to hit the road.
What at-home charging options are available with my Toyota EV?
Our first discussion with you about charging a Toyota EV is in hopes of you recognizing the absolute convenience that these models offer you. This is especially true with at-home charging, which is something you can do while in the comfort of your own home, without having to leave!
- Dual voltage charging cable: The first at-home option, which works for both Level 1 and Level 2 charging, is a dual-voltage charging cable. This cable can switch it up based on the outlet that you have available at your home! We know that convenience is key, and this cable makes it all possible for your ride.
- ChargePoint Level 2: Looking for a Level 2 outlet for your garage? Then we've got you covered with ChargePoint Home Flex. This option allows you to upgrade Level 1 charging to Level 2, which is quicker, and allows your Toyota to get the charge it needs more quickly. Feel free to ask our team more about ChargePoint, and we'd love to help you out.
- Qmerit Level 2: Anyone who is interested in a Level 2 charging station at home is recommended to check out Qmerit. This is where you can find a licensed electrician near you who is certified to install these stations without any issues or hiccups. Our team can't wait to work with you on this exciting journey.
How do I find charging stations near me while I'm out on the road?
You know much more about keeping your Toyota charged, but how are you able to find charging stations that are available to you? It's our goal to make sure you are ready for anything, regardless of whether you're at home or if you're out on a journey. We recommend downloading the Toyota app or taking advantage of your bZ's multimedia system.
