I don't disagree. The UX300e is very much a compliance vehicle, as ssun30 has stated. The fact that it's still pretty good in spite of that is mostly because of the basic goodness of the UX.
But being a compliance car doesn't need to be a bad thing.
With good efficiency a 50kWh is more than enough for a lot of people, for me, it would cover around 90% of my needs with only home charging... We can check Leaf 40kWh and Ioniq 28kWh, it's a clear example battery capacity isn't everything.
Even if it is a compliance vehicle, it can be a proper car that happens to be BEV. At the beginning of each day you can feel Lexus quality, you can feel Lexus comfort, it will be properly built and have a real premium feel.
If correctly priced I'm buying one, despite not being in love for SUV's as a concept. But they shouldn't expect more has much money as people are paying for a TM3 SR+, it's more spacious, bigger, faster, better range, charges faster, RWD...
Even with this specs (50kWh battery, 50kW charging speed, 150kW engine), it's more than enough for millions of people looking to transition to a BEV, including me.
Yes, I do want a 600hp Electric Lexus Sedan with a 100kWh battery charging at 350kW to fight Taycan's and Model S's, but do I need one? Definitively not. Could I buy one? Sadly no, but hopefully Toyota will keep affordability has they managed with first gen Prius, hopefully Toyota will pursue affordability for a wider audience.
