Leading companies work together to enhance driver experience

Through the agreement, bZ4X drivers will have access to ChargePoint’s industry-leading home and public charging solutions. To ensure drivers can charge wherever they need it, bZ4X drivers will have access to the ChargePoint network of Level 2 and DC fast chargers across North America. The company’s extensive network of charging stations, and roaming partner stations, provides bZ4X drivers access to more than 80% of charging spots in North America.

For residential charging needs, drivers will have the option of purchasing a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 charger either from participating Toyota dealerships or directly through ChargePoint online. With the ChargePoint Home Flex connected charger, drivers can charge up to nine times faster than a standard outlet. Using the ChargePoint app, drivers can save money by scheduling charging times when energy is cheapest, track their charging, get charging reminders, and find places to charge through their smartphone.
