Decent EV but with issues. Not recommended.

This is my first Toyota EV and my 7th EV over the past 10 years. Initially, I was very excited about the Made In Japan quality, but that excitement quickly faded due to several disappointing issues—namely with DC charging, the air conditioning system, and the paint quality. Just two months after delivery, the AC stopped working. When I brought the car to the dealership, the mechanic astonishingly asked me to read the manual to learn how to operate the AC (he even gave me the page number)!!! After nearly suffering heatstroke while sitting in the car during a DC fast charge session on a hot California day, I insisted the most experienced technician inspect the system. The AC compressor was ultimately found to be defective and had to be replaced—at under 2,000 miles. Another major problem has been the car’s behavior at DC fast charging stations (EVgo, for example). The car often stops charging at 95–98% battery, never reaching 100%. According to a Toyota mechanic, the onboard computer generates an error code and stops charging to prevent the battery from overheating—supposedly to help it last 300,000 miles. I explained that none of my previous and present EVs had this problem, but he simply told me to take it up with Toyota. When I did, Toyota's response wasn’t a fix—just an email suggesting I return the car. Go figure. The third issue is the poor paint quality. This is my fourth Toyota, and it has a black exterior. Any contact with the paint leaves scratches. In fact, the driver's side door handle area is already covered in marks from simply opening the door with my fingernails. None of my previous Toyotas had paint this fragile. That said, there are some positives. The seats are comfortable, the stereo system is decent, and the instrument layout is intuitive. The build quality inside and outside reflect Toyota’s usual superb fit and finish, and the interior space is well thought out—especially with the seats folded down for hauling larger items. The headlights are impressively bright, and overall, the car drives very well. It's also worth noting that the car can charge to 100% at home—this limitation of charing to 100% only applies to DC fast charging. However, efficiency could be improved. Turning on the AC on a hot summer day can cause the range to drop significantly—sometimes by as much as 50 miles. One final (minor) annoyance: the hood design includes a joint that collects water and makes drying the car after car wash more difficult. I see no aerodynamic benefit to it, and it just complicates maintenance. In summary, while I believe Toyota will address these problems in future updates, I cannot recommend the 2024 bZ4X at this time.

I've only had it a week and love love love it, Got the limited because I dont do hub caps, no more gas, all that money goes back into my pocket - thank you very much and feels even better driving than the Toyota Venza I had for 15 yrs, plenty of room for the kids going here and there, good covered cargo area for the clubs, easy peasy level 2 charging from home, and toyota quality. Kind of no brainer for this non-tech savvy Gen Xer. The display and the connectivity are impressive and easy to navigate, and did I mention JBL sound?

Getting right to the chase of any EV, I've now leased a 2024 AWD version for 7 months and can tell you it's an ok car for around town, but don't think it works for long road trips. As noted in the Edmunds review, it has low range (225 miles in the summer), low charging speed (Max 100kw and only seen that less than a handful of times) and lastly, a lowly characteristic that not even Edmunds notes, Toyota has imposed a 3-a-day max CCS1 charging visit on this car. That completely rules it incapable of being used for long road trips. All else works fine in this car.
The bz4x in my opinion is toyota's biggest mistake

The car is a complete failure, with its low mileage range, bad charging ports, and slow chargers. Driving at high speeds on highways will decrease mileage very quickly.

First run for this car, needs to evolve, it’s clunky with apparently cheaper battery set up
