Chances are, you’ve been hearing a lot about the 2026 Toyota bZ and wondering two big things: how far can it go on a single charge, and how long does it take to power up? These are the questions that come up first for anyone curious about EVs. After all, a traditional gas-powered vehicle doesn’t have this kind of anxiety. You fill the tank and you’re good to go. Fortunately, the 2026 Toyota bZ is designed to take that stress off your shoulders. Below, our team at Squamish Toyota has broken down its electric range as well as charging times. The 2026 Toyota bZ can travel up to 468 kilometres and charge from 10% to 80% in as quickly as 28 minutes using Level 3 fast charging. Continue reading for more details below.

2026 Toyota bZ Electric Range

The 2026 Toyota bZ AWD model can travel up to an estimated 468 kilometres on a single charge under ideal conditions, while the FWD model reaches up to around 380 kilometres. How does it achieve these numbers? The secret is a high-capacity 77 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that powers the electric motor. On AWD models, two motors deliver power to all four wheels, which provides not only added traction but also helps the vehicle maintain efficiency across longer drives. Below, a chart breaks down the estimated range for both AWD and FWD models:
