This was in the news. I haven't contacted the dealer yet but it looks like $2210 pay down and $125 a month. My simple math says about $185 a month.
This excludes any dealer discounts. But may exclude some other fees. I have never leased so no clue.
Great as a third car. Note that this model didn't get very good reviews - hence it being priced accordingly.

Toyota built this as a compliance car to fill a gap in the lineup and has zero focus on it or care. If anything, it is the 'look we built an EV, it sucks!'. The first production run had WHEELS FALLING OFF. They recalled every single one! The car is slow and just utterly wild in it's idiocy.
We test drove the badge engineered Subaru version - the Solterra. Same car, different logo.
The list of infuriating choices piled fast. Want to move the driver's seat? BEEPS. CONSTANT BEEPS.
Want to back up? It beeps on the inside and inside only. Who are they warning?! Me? I"M DRIVING THE CAR.
The performance is just bad. It has a quick little bit of torque and then falls on it's face.
Did I mention the range sucks and that the car does not support fast charging so you literally cannot roadtrip it without hour-long-stops?
All in all, it just felt like Toyota was completely uninterested in building it as it is lower margin than gas/hybrid.
Then you have the ioniq 5. Hyundai's focus is straight up on on beating the Tesla Model Y. They are serious and in it. The car is shockingly better looking in person than the BZ4X. The interior feels like tomorrow and has innovative ideas, way more range, way better software, etc.
Korea is currently having the same moment that Japan had in the 90s, Hyundai should be taken seriously, esp in the EV space.
TX offer is $4k down $219 a month plus TTL

Really not a bad deal if you need local transportation and are able to charge at home (even 120V will be enough for most people ~50 miles overnight).
If single motor is good enough and powerful, it'd be a good choice. I drove a Bolt EUV single motor and was impressed with the power and handling. Compared very favorably to a V6 or even a V8 (think BMW) gas engine !
I'm all for EVs (still upset I couldn't buy a better one last year), but the range on this and the Subaru twin are atrocious. Charging speed is even worse. (don't forget they have had *2* recalls in regards to the wheels literally falling off) Might as well just throw the $200 out the window.
Also the "favorable" reviews are paid write-ups. Nearly half of MotorTrend's "reviews" are paid for by the manufacturer to boost poor selling cars.
Yeah agreed but most electrics suck at charging on 110. My mom has a 2017 bolt so I am somewhat familiar. I should mention on Toyotas website it was easy to add miles to the lease. I got 15k miles for 177 a month.

Again gotta remember it's a lease. You aren't likely to keep it. Lots can change in 3 years regarding electric cars. The lease payment could literally be what you are spending on gas with your current vehicle.
The Fisker has a lot better specs and performance... it's just that it's sold/supported by a company likely to cease to be in business real soon.
Toyota/Subaru make a very poor EV, but at least those companies are likely to outlive the warranty on the vehicle.
it is hard to answer here.....

At this price , you go from A to B and charge your car at home. Every EV car has recalls. No to mention Tesla
