Not to tow... to put a bike carrier on. I imagine (naive?) I wont find an electric car I can put 4 bikes on the roof of.....
The Tesla Model 3, S and X can be spec'd with one, as can the Polestar 2. Is anyone aware of any other EVs that can be spec'd with one ?
I dont think the S can be speced with one? The Tesla Model 3, S and X can be spec'd with one, as can the Polestar 2. Is anyone aware of any other EVs that can be spec'd with one ?
The etron can tow, as I think the EQC can, the leaf here is used for towing too.

My eGolf has the same roof load rating as any other mk7 Golf, and I use bike carriers on it. Leaf has official roof bars available, as do many others. Later Env200 has a 400ish kg tow rating.
Towbars are available aftermarket for Leaf, Zoe and others - the cars don’t have a tow rating but I don’t see it being a problem to fit them and use for a bike rack.

Can you fit 4 bikes on their roof? Ignoring the aero issue I would consider it if I can...Later Env200 has a 400ish kg tow rating.

I have wrongly (?) thought I can't fit aftermarket towbars to a car I would be leasing...

Remove it when you're at the end of your lease?Are these just 4, standard ~10kg bikes? If so, you should be able to mount on roof or noe-towing hitch without issue. If you're carrying ebikes or heavy MTB then you're likely to be exceeding the roof or nose loading weight.
You can put a tow bar on the IPace.
There is also a cycle carrier option that uses the tow eye mountings, although it will only carry 2x 15kg bikes.
