Toyota bZ4X
Toyota’s first fully electric vehicle in Canada is the oddly named bZ4X crossover. Range and fast-charging capability both rank below average, while towing is not recommended. There are two configurations available: single-motor FWD (201 horsepower, 71.4kWh battery, 406 km of range) or dual-motor AWD (215 horsepower, 72.8kWh battery, 367 km of range). Remember, the bZ4X is the first in a series of battery-electric vehicles that Toyota plans to roll out in the coming years.
