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

Drove an EV an 2013/14/15. Ran out once. Car company offered free tows - not a long wait thankfully - parked it in my driveway.
What is funny is people act like there are more gas stations around than electrical outlets.
The kicker, I'd have to drive to Oregon or Utah as there are none in stock (or even in route for delivery) in the state of Idaho.

WELL, THIS IS THIS SHIT.
But the truth is... the mileage is not there. If it is Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) you are only suppose to charge the thing to 80% if you want max life.
I would need to charge it every day at work... and does it have access to the Tesla supercharging network? And isn't it a slowish charge?
My Ling Range Model Y (purchased for $39k after rebate and 6.25% tax and fees plus 5,000 free supercharging miles) needs to be charged every two or three days.

Even if all the stars somehow aligned and I got a Toyota bz4x on this deal that had zero issues for the 36 month lease, it still wouldn't be a deal for me. The example you gave isn't far off my situation.
50 mile commute = 100mi/day = 2000mi/month = 24,000mi/year. At 15¢/mile over 10k miles/year, that's an additional $175/mo for this or over $305/month.
Meanwhile, you can get a low mileage 2023 Bolt/Bolt EUV for around $20k ($16k if you qualify and count the tax credit) or ≈$400/mo at 6.75% for 60 months. (Again, closer to $315/mo with tax credit and you'll *own* it.)
And if you can charge at home - especially with a cheap EV plan, ours is 4.5¢/kwh for example - overnight then slow charging doesn't matter and it'd cost you less than $2/day in electricity charges to travel those 100 miles. In fact it'd probably be closer to $1.35/day as those 100 miles would probably end up using 25-30kwh at most - depending on time of year, traffic, and driving style/speeds etc.
A 48A level 2 home charger would be able to charge a Bolt/Bolt EUV an additional 30kwh between midnight and 7am without any issue at all.
A 100mi commute also allows you to easily keep the 65kwh battery in the recommended 20%-80% charge range.
This is all back-of-the-napkin math, but all of that to support what you said: a used Bolt would be perfect for someone with a 50 mile commute if they have access to home charging.
Still, I would much rather have the Ioniq 6 over this garbage EV.
