drivers can input a destination into their car's navigation system, and the vehicle will suggest a route that includes pit stops.
I left DC on a brisk April morning at about 5 a.m. When I cranked up the heat, the BZ4X's estimated range dropped from 176 miles to an unsettling 125 miles. Keeping the cabin nice and toasty would have meant an extra charging stop and even more travel time, so instead I bundled up and shivered my way to sunrise. It wasn't much fun.
I arrived in Washington, DC with a 6% charge remaining, so I knew I needed to charge up before hitting the road back to New York. Although slow charging plugs are becoming more common in apartment complexes, the one I visited in DC didn't have one. So I drove the BZ4X to a fast-charging station the following morning and left the car plugged in for an hour while sightseeing.
