Acura ZDX Charging
2024 Acura ZDX: Focus on Charging
Understanding EVs: BEVs, PHEVs, and HEVs
Our Acura EV Center is committed to educating our customers on the different types of electric vehicles available. Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) like the ZDX offer pure electric driving with zero emissions. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) provide the flexibility of electric driving for daily commutes and a gasoline engine for longer trips. Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor for efficient driving.
The Benefits of Going Electric
Choosing an electric vehicle offers numerous advantages, from reduced greenhouse gas emissions to lower operating costs, while providing a quieter, smoother ride with less maintenance than traditional gasoline vehicles. With instant torque and rapid acceleration, EVs like the ZDX deliver exhilarating performance that must be experienced to be believed. To make the transition easier and more affordable, Canada offers incentives such as rebates for purchasing new EVs, tax credits, and support for installing home charging stations. At West Side Acura, our team is ready to guide Alberta residents through these incentives, helping you maximize your investment in a cleaner, greener future.
Keeping Your ZDX Charged
Level 1 Charging - Standard: 120V AC Outlet
Charging your ZDX using the standard 120V AC outlet is a simple and convenient option. By plugging your portable charger directly into a wall outlet, you can effortlessly draw power from your home, ensuring your ZDX remains charged and ready for your next journey.
Level 2 Charging - Faster: 240V AC Outlet or Hardwired Connection
For faster charging speeds, the Acura ZDX offers Level 2 charging using a 240V AC outlet or a hardwired connection. This option is ideal for both residential use and public charging stations. By investing in a Level 2 charger and having it professionally installed, you can set up a reliable home charging station that efficiently caters to your ZDX's charging needs.
Level 3 Charging - Fastest: 480V DC Fast Charging Capability
When time is of the essence, Level 3 charging provides the fastest solution with its 480V DC Fast Charging capability. This option, available only at public charging stations, allows you to connect to a DCFC station with 190kW of charging power, ensuring you can get back on the road swiftly.

Charging On The Road
Optimize Your BATTERY Range
The Acura ZDX offers advanced features and innovative technology that help drivers maximize their battery range, no matter the journey. In addition to supporting navigation, the built-in Google system preconditions the ZDX's battery when heading to a DC Fast Charging (DCFC) station. This process shortens charging times, allowing drivers to get back on the road more quickly.
Planning Your Route
Planning your road trip is effortless with the Acura ZDX, the first Acura to feature Google built-in. This upgraded version of Google Maps is tailored for EV drivers, allowing you to personalize routes by finding charging stations along the way and estimating charging times to ensure you reach your destination with ease.
Canada's Electric Future - Powered by Us, Driven by You
In Canada, the push towards sustainable transportation is being supported by significant incentives for electric vehicle (EV) buyers, making the switch to zero-emission driving both appealing and affordable. The federal government offers up to $5,000 off the purchase or lease of eligible new EVs through the iZEV Program, complemented by various provincial rebates that enhance savings further. This commitment to electrification is bolstered by an ambitious partnership among seven of the world's largest automakers— General Motors, BMW Group, Honda, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz Group, Kia, and Stellantis NV.
Together, they are establishing a groundbreaking joint venture to expand the high-powered charging network across North America. This initiative aims to install at least 30,000 new chargers, significantly enhancing accessibility and convenience for EV drivers, and marking a significant step toward making zero-emission driving a practical reality for millions. This collaborative effort underscores the automotive industry's unified push towards a greener future and positions Canada as a pivotal force in the global shift to electric mobility.
