Convenient Charging Charging has never been easier or more convenient than it is with the 2023 bZ4X. There are three levels of charging options available. Level 1 is 120-Volt, an excellent choice for drivers with shorter commutes, allowing you to go from low battery to a 100% charge using a common household outlet. It charges at about four miles per hour of charging time. Level 2 is a 240-Volt that offers faster charging in your home at about 23 miles per hour of charge time. Installation is easy and will allow your bZ4X to charge in about 9.5 hours fully. Lastly, there's the Level 3 or the DC Fast Charging option. A charging station takes you from a low battery light to about an 80% charge in around 30 minutes on the front-wheel-drive or 60 minutes with the all-wheel-drive. This method is currently only available at public charging stations. In the El Monte area? You can find a helpful guide to El Monte EV charging locations in our post!
