Top Tips for First-Time Toyota BZ4X Drivers

Get Familiar with the Charging Options

Understand the different charging options available for the Toyota bZ4X so you can plan ahead. There are various ways to charge this electric vehicle, including home charging stations, public charging points, and DC fast chargers.

When you hire with KINTO, each bZ4X comes with two charging cables in the boot. One for AC home charging and the other for DC fast charging.

Home charging overnight is not only a convenient option for daily use, but also a practical and easy way to keep your Toyota bZ4X ready for your next journey. If you're charging at home, use the Mode 2 Charging Cable and plug into a standard Australian power point.

If you're on the road and need to charge, find a nearby public charging station. For public charging, including fast charging, plug the Mode 3 Charging Cable into the charging station and power up.
