History

The bZ3 is the second car in Toyota's bZ line, after the Toyota bZ4X, which is a larger SUV. The bZ3 is made by a joint company called BYD Toyota EV Technology (BTET). This company works together with Toyota, BYD, and FAW Toyota to make electric cars.
Resources

This means the car can travel a long distance before needing to be recharged. The car uses an electric motor that produces between 135 kW and 180 kW of power, which makes it easy to drive in the city and on highways. The car is also front-wheel drive, meaning the front wheels move the car. It has a 4-door sedan body, and it is made in China, in the city of Tianjin.
