Best Home EV Chargers for Toyota bZ / bZ4X
Updated November 14, 2025, by Michael Kim
Our Top Picks for the bZ & bZ4X
After pioneering vehicle electrification with the Prius hybrid two decades ago, Toyota now entered the fully electric era with the bZ (formerly known as bZ4X). It is Toyota’s first all-electric, mass-produced crossover SUV.
In North America, 2023-2025 bZ4Xs came with batteries with around 72 kWh capacity and J1772 / CCS charging ports. For 2026, Toyota refreshed the SUV and renamed it simply bZ. It now features a NACS port for easier access to Tesla Superchargers, and there are two battery options between 52 and 74 kWh. Level 2 charging has also been upgraded from 32 amps (7kW) to 48 amps (11kW).

When hardwired, the Emporia charger can output 48 amp, making it suitable for either the bZ4X or the refreshed bZ. Most competing brands include a cheap plastic cord holder in the box. Installation and app setup was relatively easy as well.

LENZ Home EV Charger (40 Amp)

This simple home charging station is perfect for non-technical drivers transitioning to electric driving. The unit does not include any network connectivity or apps. Instead, it focuses on the fundamentals: safety, a durable weatherproof enclosure, and a good charging cord. For users with existing 240-volt outlets, installation is a breeze too.
The 40 amp output of LENZ’s charger provides more than enough current to charge the bZ4X at the 7.6 kW peak rate.

Leviton EV32W Smart EV Charger (32 Amp)
Leviton is a brand with a 100+ year history in home products, and their EV charging products demonstrate their commitment to safety. We tested their EV32W charging station and came away impressed. The EV32W is UL-listed and EnergyStar-certified and comes with a high-quality charging cord and a durable J1772 connector. Our only complaint is that at 18 feet, the cord could be a little bit longer.

The X3 the entry level home charging station from their latest line of products. It has a pliable 25 foot long cord and a NEMA 4X rated unit enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor installation.

Tera P01 Portable EV Charger (32 Amp)
We recommend most people install perminant home EV charging stations for higher reliability and higher amps. But if you don’t want to commit to an install, a portable EV charger like this Tera P01 might work for you.
Tera is a recent favorite because of its attractive design, durable cable, many adapters, and the ability to charge over 240 volts and 120-volt outlets. While you should only use 120-volt NEMA 5-15 outlets in an emergency (because it’s so slow), it’s great to have as a backup option. It’s rare to see a portable charger with Wi-Fi connectivity as well. The charger pairs easily to their Smart Life app over Bluetooth and connects to your home Wi-fi network. The Tera portable EV charger has a J1772 to connect to EVs but also includes a NACS adapter in the box.
Portable EV charges often suffer from overheating problems when charging at full speed, but we had no such issues with the Tera P01.
Specs
- Amperage: Up to 32 amps
- EV Connector: J1772
- Home Connection: NEMA 14-50
- Cord Length: 25 feet
- Cord Gauge: 10 AWG

IP67 - Networking: Wi-Fi + BT

Frequently Asked Questions about charging the bZ4X
Can the bZ4X use Tesla Supercharger stations?
Toyota confirmed that Toyota/Lexus EVs in North America will gain access to Tesla Superchargers in 2025, but no exact date has been revealed yet. Existing Toyota EVs will need an adapter and software update, but future Toyota EVs will come with a native NACS plug for adapter-free charging.
Does the Toyota bZ4X have battery preconditioning for DC fast charging?
The 2024 bZ4X can precondition the battery before DC fast charging in cold temperatures, cutting down charging times significantly. Earlier model years of the bZ4X struggled to charge quickly in freezing temperatures.
Where is the charging port located on the bZ4X?
The charging cord is located on the front fender area on the left (driver) side of the vehicle. Keep this location in mind when considering your EV home charging station placement in your garage.
How fast can the bZ4X charge?
The 2023-2025 models can charge at up to 7.4 kW (32 amps) on Level 2, and around 130 kW on DC fast chargers. The 2026+ models have been upgraded to 48 amps on Level 2, and 150 kW at DC fast charging stations.
How long does it take to charge the bZ4X at home?
A typical 20% to 80% charge would take about 6 hours on a level 2 home EV charger operating at 7.6 kW.
