So... as with the Rav4Prime, Toyota is initially releasing the bZ4X in Quebec and BC... provinces which subsidize electric car sales... and punish manufacturers that don't sell enough zero emissions vehicles.

The wheel debacle has delayed the launch even in these two provinces.

Rest of Canada? Next year sometime is the best guess.

Hey @drahcir welcome to the forum! Are you in either of those provinces or do you have to wait?

@drahcir what bZ4X spec are you after?

 

[drahcir]

Thank you for the welcome!

I’m in Ontario. If I’m lucky we will be able to place orders in spring, i‘m guessing.

I think the Canadian configurations are different than in the US. There’s a base L fwd, pretty bare bones (no safety stuff), a FWD LE, decently equipped, then the AWD XLE or AWD XLE with tech package.

I’d initially thought XLE… but now am leaning LE:
if conditions call for AWD I’m staying home
there are charging and range penalties with the AWD
I’ll save $5000CDN

I am in Quebec and ordered a year ago. I am still waiting and the dealer has no idea when I will get one. Not much different from the rest of the country!

According to some facebook forums, some people are starting to see delivery dates. But no luck so far?


The (Ontario) dealership I bought my RAV4Prime (!!) from won’t take a deposit from me until it can actually place my order.

all dealer in quebec have 4 years of waiting list so hurry up if you can !! Mine suppose to be there in a few months

 

[FelineFreddie]

A 4 year waiting list!?!?!?

Thats insane!

Mine is here, just waiting for the BC EV rebate to be completed. They said waiting time is up to 20 days.

Yeah… makes an id.4’s 12-18 months look good.

That’s odd… i have a ‘prime’ and they did it after the fact (i got a refund from the dealer, not the govt).

didn’t take 20 days though.

Ah.. but you said BC rebate. i was thinking of the federal one.

yeah the BC EV rebate of $4k has to be approved first. They said normally 4-5 days, but up to 20 days.

Got the vehicle Saturday. The odometer now is at 60 km. Its the LE FWD model. My very first impression driving it, absorbed the bumps quite well and it doesnt lean that much. I like it.. quite sporty to drive.

I took possession of a Nautical Blue LE FWD on the 19th Dec. I was number 2 on the waiting list at this dealership. I added a full front end paint protection film, the cargo mats and the Homelink mirror. I don't intend on using this car for any long range trips, I have a gas powered vehicle for that purpose. I had Michelin X-Ice SUV winter tires installed. I would have preferred two sets of wheels but apparently getting "extra" wheels for a BZ is impossible right now given the safety recall action.

Welcome to the forum and congrats!
I hand't thought about the wheel issue causing knock-on effects for snow tires. Thanks for sharing that detail.

Congrats on the bZ, do you already have a home charging setup at home for it?

 

[GasStation]

I purchased GRIZZL_E chargers: one is a three prong 6-50 with 24A (80% of max amperage available) and the other is a four prong 14-50 with 40A.

Hello from Vancouver!

I have the white/black XLE AWD with the Tech Package. I was on the waitlist for 4 weeks. Took possession on Dec. 2022.

Happy Motoring!

Hi guys, another Vancouverite here.

I've been waiting for almost a year from my original dealer but still no allocation as of this month. Out of the blue, I felt like visiting a different dealer last Saturday with the original plan to only add my name to their list. To my surprise, there is one available, a Blue Standard XLE. Apparently, the original owner didn't get approved for financing. The next day I pick it up. I guess I got lucky.

I'm glad to join this forum.
