2026 Toyota bZ Canadian models
The 2026 Toyota bZ Canadian model is not correctly represented in A Better Routeplanner, as the current configuration appears to use incorrect or US-based specifications. According to Toyota Canada, the correct battery capacities are 57.7 kWh for the bZ XLE FWD, and 77 kWh for both the bZ XLE AWD and bZ Limited AWD, with all Canadian trims using an 11 kW onboard AC charger. This mismatch in battery assignments leads to inaccurate range estimation, charging stop planning, and energy consumption modeling within ABRP. In addition, OBDLink live telemetry does not currently function with the Canadian 2026 bZ (tested with OBDLink CX), which may indicate missing or incompatible CAN profile support for this regional variant.

+1 - any updates on this?
It seems OBD live link now works but the SoC estimates are still off.

There is an 2% to 4% difference on SoC still for 2026 Toyota BZ XLE AWD Canadian model for example it shows on Abrp 67% but in car it shows 63% or 64%, don't know why.

This variant addition is essential to canadian bZ owners. We’ve supported the app with a Premium purchase would would expect all variants would be added.

Vehicle Request: 2026 Toyota bZ (Canada) – Incorrect Specs in ABRP:
The 2026 Toyota bZ Canadian models are not accurately represented in A Better Routeplanner. Current vehicles definitions appear to be based on US configurations and do not match Canadian battery assignments.
Issue Summary:
Canadian trim battery mapping is incorrect or incomplete, resulting in inaccurate range, routing, and charging calculations.
Correct Canadian Specifications (as per Toyota Canada):
bZ XLE FWD: 57.7 kWh battery
bZ XLE AWD: 77 kWh battery
bZ Limited AWD: 77 kWh battery
Onboard AC charger: 11 kW
Impact:
This mismatch causes errors in: Route planning accuracy. Charging stop predictions. Energy consumption and range estimation
Additional Note:
OBDLink live telemetry is not currently functioning with the Canadian 2026 bZ (tested with OBDLink CX), suggesting missing or incorrect CAN profile support for this variant.
