In preparation for the launch of its all-new 2023 bZ4X battery electric SUV later this year, Toyota Motor North America, Inc. (Toyota) will work with ChargePoint, Inc. to offer customers home and public EV charging solutions.

ChargePoint Home Flex is Energy Star certified and Wi-Fi enabled, can be installed indoors or out, comes with a 23-ft. charging cable to support different parking configurations and can charge electric vehicles up to nine times faster than a standard outlet, the company says. Translated for the bZ4X, the home charger can charge up to 25 miles of range per hour and fully charge the battery when plugged in overnight.
