Ford Mache E vs CHR toyota

Hi folks,
I’m looking for some advice as this will be my first EV. I currently have two options at almost the same price:
Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium — $350 bi-weekly, tax included, 5-year lease
Toyota C-HR EV — very similar pricing
Which one would you choose in terms of reliability, maintenance, and long-term ownership experience?
A few years ago, I rented a Mach-E in Montreal and got a flat tire. I was told that only a Ford dealership could replace or repair it, and it ended up taking four days to get back on the road. I still don’t fully understand why that happened, but it left me a bit concerned about serviceability.
I know EVs generally have very low maintenance costs, but I’m more interested in real-world ownership experiences:
Parts availability
Service and repair experience
Actual driving range versus the advertised dealership numbers
Overall reliability
For those who have owned either vehicle, which one would you recommend and why?
Thanks in advance!
