Скачать или смотреть Toyota bZ4X - Mostly Highway Commute

To provide another perspective, I setup the driving video capture to begin where I used to live. Lots of Prius PHV and Prius Prime filming took place from there. So, it was a nice opportunity to compare in addition to the purpose of driving a mostly highway commute.

On this drive, conditions were near ideal for temperature. There was no need for any type of cooling or heating. So, no other energy drain. It was just the bZ4X with AWD and the 20-inch wheels on a drive to work I have done countless times of the decades... except this time, in a BEV.

Efficiency was awesome. You can see on the video I got 4.4 mi/kWh, just like I have been routinely seeing throughout this summer. On slower drives, efficiency is better. But have also been a few trips with the e-bike on a platform rack in back; that results in an aerodynamic penalty (but well worth it).

The video is presented at 10X speed. You can slow playback using the YouTube speed setting to see detail. On the lower-left is the dashboard instrument cluster. On the lower-right is a phone-app reading vehicle data from an ODB-II reader.
