Featured From Prius to bZ4X

That's just plain wrong. There had been a threshold of 2 before throttling speed, but that was increased to 4 an entire year ago. It never prevented you from using DC at any point. Also, the speed of DC charging in the 80% to 100% range was increased.

For me, my 4th DC charge within 12 hours delivered a peak of 72 kW with the CATL pack rated for 100 kW. Those with the Panasonic pack see peak in the 140's.

 

Credits are now just a memory, but automakers recognize the significance of a 35k offering. Here are highlights for Toyota's plan in that category with the base 2026 bZ:

• $34,900 MSRP
• $1,450 delivery
• 236 miles
• FWD (AC sync, 168 hp)
• 8.1-inch ground clearance
• 120V/1500W AC outlet
• Heated front seats
• Ambient lighting (front & rear)
• Power liftgate (foot activated)
• 8-way power driver's seat
• Dual wireless phone chargers
• Heated mirrors (with indicators)
• 14-inch infotainment screen
• Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
• 11kW AC charging
• 150kW DC charging
• Digital key (free for 3 years)

 

Yes and the port will be moved to passenger front, allowing for Supercharging from the proper stall. Unfortunately, some charging units are poorly placed, so it will be a tight squeeze. Fortunately, being able to charge with a load on back is still available... something a Tesla cannot do.
