Which Japanese EV? I'm not aware of any good ones.

Korean ones? Best on the market. If you want the best for a reasonable price, Hyundai or Kia.

Toyota sells a couple EV models in China for the China market not sure where thier overseas models are made....Toyota has the second biggest selling EV in Norway for example and have that model here in Australia, its actually ok, the previous version was comparatively shitty

That one?

Nah I'd even drive a paintless dumpstertruck over that thanks

Volvo, Rivian, Kia, Chevy, Ford, plenty of ev options that aren't negligently dangerous like Toyota's EVs or Teslas

The bz4x/bz/Solterra is still the worst EV on the road, bar none.

Worst range of all EVs, flip phone quality software center stack, and the same price as a model y. It’s nuts that anyone would buy those pieces of shit.
