We went on a "short" vacation trip with the FWD with new software, 360km each way with a total of 1300km done in one week. Consumption was a little below 200wh/km on german autobahn going at 130km/h where possible Charing was fine, only 1 charge per trip with max. 143.6kW from the charger (DC set to "max"). It's not that bad after all. Next trip in november 900km in 3 days, looking forward to it!

We have done many trips until now, and charging was never a problem. Those 3.8 cycles are enough for us. Our FWD is more efficient than the AWD Björn tested, the trips from may and july the car consumed 186wh/km. I usually drove between 120 and 130km/h. Some more trips to come: September 900km in two days, in october a vacation trip to austria with 650km one way with lower temperatures and in november 900km in 3 days. Getting my tow hitch in a few days, than we'll be able to carry the bikes and tow our small 750kg trailer.

Hi Bjorn, @Bjorn Nyland. you really should try the Lexus RZ 450e in a range and charging test. I have one of these and I was surprised that even if it has the same platform it has the "OLD" software. On a hypercharge, above 80% it charges with below 10kW, has still not any percentagefor the SoC on the cockpit and a poorer Range than the BZ4X. Looking forward to your Review on the Lexus RZ450e - I tried to talk to Lexus directly if an update might come soon - they don't know.

You know that there is still at least 5% left in usable buffer after the car shows 0% and 0km.. so there was really no reason to worry in this case but it will be "good drama"... 😄 PS New car tests in Norway drove 40km beyond zero with an updated car... and the power is reduced in three stages so it happens very clearly and controlled (the last 5-10 km is turtle 🐢 mode) Then the car also has an unusable lower buffer of another few percent to protect the battery...
@MartinTetik 2 ай бұрын
There is one interesting thing about Toyota bz4x. It has recommended AC level for charging at 100% while the competitors are at 80%. For unplanned longer rides this would be serious advantage and mostly nullified the longer range of competitors. Still having original ioniq i cry how inefficient the new cars including Tesla are :( lucid seams to exception but at crazy price level

In the US it's like a gamble when you go up to a non-tesla charger. The upkeep is not as good as your country. As many bandages Toyota put on the car they are limping their way just to meet the warranty expired date. 1000k test is going to be interesting.

@ronalddolman2654 Жыл бұрын
@@srantoniomatos A few facts: Toyota currently hardly produces any car batteries (only R&D). Toyota's batteries are mainly produced by companies such as Clarios, Exide, GS Yuasa and Panasonic. In 2014, Toyota took a 2.5% share in Tesla (which it sold again 3 years later). Hardly a "helped Tesla to be born", since Daimler (Mercedes-Benz) took a 10% stake in Tesla at that same time. Yes, Toyota once was a pioneer in the field of (hybrid) electric driving, but it is currently massively lagging behind competition. My personal belief is that if Toyota continues on this path, it will simply no longer exist in 20 years. The first signs of this are already visible in Toyota's current largest markets (China and the US). And it's not that I'm a Toyota basher. On the contrary, my first experience with electric driving was made possible by Toyota. With a Prius 2. A hideous car with a fantastic (hybrid) electric powertrain. I was sold immediately and have only driven (full) electric ever since. No Toyota unfortunately, because they have only been doing a fully electric since last year. Reluctantly it seems.

Could you do a test of the Citroen/Peugeot/Opel/Toyota Van version. Just to show people how a bad EV accutally works. We have 10 off them and the consumption is crazy high 30kwh/100km in summer. In the winter they are around 50kwh/100km. They have the heatpump. But the HVAC is stupid. Low heating is off, 16-max the heating is on full blast all the time (with the knobs, don't know how it works with the more expensive digital display). So you have to manaully adjust between Low and anything else while driving or you melt with over 30c in the cabin. It works a bit better in the summer when it cooling instead. There is also the shitty infortainment with the worst sound ever. The one you got in the diesel version with buttons is miles better, it also beeps and scream for the most anyoing things. It also shuts down after just a couple of minutes witch is just stupid for a Work van when you might be using it as an office. btw 2 off them is down with broken inverter for AC charger with under 2000km the the odo. they don't even now when they might be able to get a new, half year or more they say.

@@n2utsu Does the heater control work in the one you have? Because it really dosen't matter how we have it set. Had a couple of longer drives. And even after a hour it never turns down the heat (the gauge is on just bellow max all the time). It's allways on full blast. Solved it with having the window open, but that just feels stupid. Every van we have is the same with a range of under 100km when temperture drops below freezing

@@Iceeeen Yeah, mine just had OBC charger replaced second time. Car was under 2years old, but done over 110k so they denied warranty at first and said that it’s 6490€+work. I reminded them of EU law that all products sold here have minimal 2 years of warranty, regardless how much they have been used. Also clearly a defective part, but they said they never had anyone replace one. How come if mine was already on its second! They eventually agreed to do it under warranty😅. Also said that wait time is unknown as they have several on order, makes sense as ”never had anyone replace one” Seems idiotic that these have OBC replacement as often as Ford has oil changes. I also have (transmission)oil on undercover and a clunk when accelerating-decelerating but all good according to Toyota dealer. Last one I’m gonna buy from them.

The bZ4X has been out about only a year or so and is already significantly behind these EVs from other companies that have had their EVs out for years.

What a lot of these reviewers don't understand is the technology in the battery and why Toyota limits charging speed. Why do people buy Toyota's again....for their reliability and longevity. Bz4x has the LTO battery technology that are more expensive and has a longer life expectancy than other lithium battery technology. However, LTO batteries charges slower as well. So Toyota being Toyota, they will go with the technology that will last longer for their customers vs giving them the faster charging battery and cheaper as well
