2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 The fastest charging, affordable compact BEV available. Charging When considering L2 and DCFC charging capability, the Toyota bZ4X falls vastly short of its competitors. The media deck which I drew from include 0 charging pics and it made sense once the details were relayed to us. Both the FWD and AWD bZ4Xs have onboard L2 charging at just 6.6 KW. To fill the 71.4 and 72.1 KWh packs from flat to of full at home takes an inordinate 9-hours. Moving to the DCFCing capability, the FWD can charge at a reasonable and middle of the road 150 KW but the AWD can charge at just 100 KW. 100 KW today is not competitive and with the AWD probably being the highest volume bZ4Xs, any road trip will incur a very long wait. Far too long a wait imho. Compact BEV Charging Comparisons From highest charging rates to lowest.
