As I've been saying, the RAV4 Prime is exactly the vehicle manufacturers should have made a decade ago because it has the smallest battery that qualifies for the full federal tax credit.

If someone qualifies for the full credit, their $42k RAV4 Prime costs less than the standard or hybrid RAV4, making it a no-brainer.
I don't know what the RAV4 Prime does that the bZ4X doesn't except the RAV4 PRIME is AWD standard, and the bZ4X is about $1,500 more expensive if you get the AWD version. EV range is over 200 miles, and I feel there's enough charging infrastructure to make that viable as an only car, at least in my part of the world.

I would assume the bZ4X also gets the full tax credit.
