how so? Most EVs solve with preconditioning (which is what I refer to in my comment). My 2024 AWD can reach full speeds with about 15-20 minutes of heating (30 degrees F). If there was on-route preconditioning then it would charge full speeds.


The BZ4X charges 10-80 in 30-35 minutes when the battery is already at temperature (see above). This is better than the Equinox lol. That’s why all it needs is better software.

"My 2024 AWD can reach full speeds with about 15-20 minutes of heating (30 degrees F). If there was on-route preconditioning then it would charge full speeds." Something's amiss with that statement. Your response to jane doesn't make sense either. Either you can hit full charging speeds (100kw for the 2024 AWD) or not at 30 degrees. I've not seen it happen with this car.

Full speeds relative to the percentage it is at. When temperature reaches 80°F it matches summer charging speeds at the same percentage. Obviously I won't get 100 kW 30 minutes into a charging session because by then I'm past the point in the battery curve that can happen.

The BZ4X cannot charge properly in the winter, but it just needs software tweaks to be able to, even with the same conservative curve. It can heat the battery fast enough and it can charge properly with a heated battery.

I leased a 2nd bz4x over a lyriq over comfort and reliability. Considering to purchase it when its worth under $10k in 2026. If I could buy chinese evs I would.

Why does my friend’s 2024 BZ4X get 280 miles to a charge when my 2023 only gets 225?

AWD vs FWD? 280 miles for the FWD sounds too ambitious!!

There's different factors that can affect range. The biggest being how both of your drive your cars. Do you two have the same bZ4X models?

That range figure that the car shows you is just an estimate based on past driving and conditions, not the actual range you will get. Most likely differences in local vs highway driving or temperature.
