According to the automaker, the bZ Woodland delivers 375 net combined horsepower and offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 281 miles. Models equipped with optional all-terrain tires have an estimated range of 260 miles.
Fast charging and NACS port
One of the highlights of the 2026 bZ Woodland is the adoption of the NACS port (North American Charging System), expanding access to thousands of DC fast-charging stations across the U.S. Toyota also reports DC fast-charging times of around 30 minutes, considering a 10% to 80% charge window under ideal conditions.
