Toyota bZ4X charging speed
The Toyota bZ4X does not have one charging speed — it depends on the variant. It is 11 kW three-phase on the Pre-facelift (to 2025), and 22 kW three-phase on the Facelift (2025–). Which one you own changes what you should install at home.
It depends which Toyota bZ4X you have
This is the trap. Two cars wearing the same badge can need completely different chargers, and the dealer is unlikely to mention it. Find your variant below before you spend anything.
The Pre-facelift (to 2025) — 11 kW three-phase
This car draws 7.4 kW single-phase and 11 kW on three-phase — a gain of about 3.6 kW. Real, but modest. If you already have three-phase, use it. If you don't, the upgrade is hard to justify on charging speed alone.
The Facelift (2025–) — 22 kW three-phase
This car steps up from 7.4 kW single-phase to 22 kW on three-phase — a gain of 15 kW. If you already have a three-phase supply, install a three-phase charger. This car is one of the few sold in Australia that can genuinely use it.
The short answer
On the standard Australian home charger — 32 A single-phase — The Pre-facelift (to 2025) draws 7.4 kW, adding roughly 37 km of range per hour. Over an eight-hour overnight window that is about 294 km — far more than most Australians drive in a day.

What every charger actually delivers
Every figure below is computed live from this car's onboard charger rating, not copied from a brochure. "Wasted" is capacity you would pay for and never use.
The Pre-facelift (to 2025) — 11 kW three-phase
| Charger | Supply | This car draws | Range per hour | 20–80% | Wasted |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 A power point | Single-phase | 1.8 kW | 9 km | 1 day 3 h | — |
| 15 A power point | Single-phase | 2.8 kW | 14 km | 17 h 15 min | — |
| 32 A single-phase charger | Single-phase | 7.4 kW | 37 km | 6 h 28 min | — |
| 16 A three-phase charger | Three-phase | 11 kW | 55 km | 4 h 20 min | — |
| 32 A three-phase charger | Three-phase | 11 kW | 55 km | 4 h 20 min | 11 |
Assumes a battery of 71.4 kWh and real-world consumption of 180 Wh/km (segment estimate). Charging losses of about 10% are included. Change the assumptions in the calculator →

Charging by variant
| Variant | Onboard AC charger | Type | Battery (kWh) | DC max (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-facelift (to 2025) | 11 kW | Three-phase | 71.4 | 150 |
| Facelift (2025–) | 22 kW | Three-phase | 74.7 | 150 |
Notes
- Australian bZ4X has always been three-phase. The "6.6 kW single-phase" figure online is North American spec.
- One of very few cars sold in Australia with a genuine 22 kW onboard charger. If you own one, a 22 kW home charger is actually worth it.

Work out your own numbers
The table above assumes a full charge from 20–80%. If you want different start and finish points, or want to compare this car against another, the calculator does it and shows every step of the working.
