“As esteemed automotive brands like Toyota continue to electrify
transportation with new models of cars, trucks, SUVs, and fleet
vehicles, ChargePoint continues to enable EV charging wherever
drivers live, work, and play,” said Pasquale Romano, president and
CEO of ChargePoint. “This agreement combines Toyota’s leadership in
mobility with our leadership in providing charging everywhere
drivers need it, including home and public charging, to provide a
seamless, convenient charging experience for bZ4X drivers.”
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.
Drivers can charge up to nine times faster
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.
“We want to instill a feeling of confidence in our bZ4X
customers by providing a variety of charging options both at home
and away to serve each customer’s unique charging needs and
preferences,” said Christopher Yang, vice president of EV Charging
Solutions, Toyota Motor North America. “The ChargePoint home
charger and public charging network will further enhance our
customers’ ownership experience of the bZ4X.”
