Zero Hundred accelerates by 1.9 seconds, and after installing the optional SpaceX Rocket Thruster Kit, it is increased to 1.1 seconds, and the speed is over 400 kilometers per hour!
This describes not a rocket, but a Tesla Roadster that starts at more than $200,000. Such data makes it difficult for even a hypercar with a cost of tens of millions of dollars.
But you have not found that under the pursuit of all kinds of extreme speed, there is a group of people in the deep mountains and old forests or yellow mud ravines, up to the Wranglers, down to the Jimney, stepping on the throttle to black smoke, but also crossing the current hillside, enjoying the joy of conquest. This also raises a curiosity, why play with accelerated electric vehicles why not talk about off-road?
For example, Toyota, which has been operating in the hybrid field for a long time, recently launched its first SUV based on the e-TNGA pure electric platform, the Toyota bZ4X, a medium-sized SUV developed in conjunction with Subaru and available in two versions: front-drive single-motor and four-wheel drive dual-motor. At present, it has been listed in overseas markets, and its domestic versions have been introduced by FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota respectively.
Normally speaking, the paper data of this car is put into the domestic market, and it seems that it cannot make much splash. Interestingly, however, the bZ4X will also be equipped with X MODE and equipped with the Grip-Control Intelligent Multi-Traffic Adaptation System. This is to put it bluntly, there is an off-road function.
So what kind of off-road performance it has, we still don't know, but it does not prevent us from comparing it with the experts who play off-road, and the comparison of this issue [Don't take pure electricity wrong] brings you Toyota bZ4X vs. Wrangler vs. Highlander
After reading the picture, say the summary
It can be played, but not necessarily now
First of all, I want to explain that the electric vehicle is the maximum torque at the beginning, which can meet the needs of off-road for high power and high torque. If coupled with a reasonable four-wheel drive system, it is not impossible to enjoy the muddy pleasure like a fuel vehicle. Putting aside the existence of some pure like appearance, at this stage of pure electric vehicles to play wading, obstacle crossing, and taking a variety of unconventional routes, although feasible, there are still many problems.
PART.1
Lack of emergency repair capacity
When an off-road vehicle wads through the water and crosses the obstacle, the body will face various dangers such as soaking water and chassis rubbing, and the battery layout of pure electric vehicles is usually in the floor position, once the battery is wiped, it is easy to face danger, and even the possibility of causing a fire.
Even if we raise the chassis, in the case of intense driving, the motor runs at maximum torque, although it is easy to cross some obstacles, but the accompanying motor temperature rises extremely fast, which is also a great test for the heat dissipation system. If you are not careful, it is not impossible to scrap it on the spot.
PART.2
Lack of effective energy replenishment
A few years ago, a certain brand brought a nanny charging car into Tibet, and everyone did not laugh at it. On the surface, the charging infrastructure in remote areas is not enough, but in fact, it is still a problem of battery energy density and effective energy replenishment. When a fuel vehicle consumes all the fuel on the barren mountains and mountains, it is too simple to replenish the fuel, the fuel tank of the accompanying car can be used, and the gas station is also convenient.
But if it is an electric vehicle, one is that the high-load low-speed driving state makes it impossible to hold on to it for too long, even if it is replenished again, it will take more time to charge and find charging piles on the road.
PART.3
The market outlook is narrow
In the field of fuel vehicles, off-road has always been a niche field, even if it is as strong as the tank 300 in the monthly sales of more than 5,000 units, in the H6, CS75 these volume models are still a younger brother. If it is a pure electric SUV that focuses on off-road, facing the off-road veterans such as Highlander and Wrangler in the chart and the popular fried chicken of Tank 300, it seems that there is no market prospect.
summary
At this time, you may say that tanks, wranglers, and even Humvees have new energy sources, which is the general trend. But have you ever thought that there may be reasons why manufacturers are limited by double points and emission reductions? Whether they are willing or not we don't know, but a fuel wrangler and a pure electric wrangler put in front of you for you to choose, and I believe most of the choices are consistent.
Throughout the years of the rise of electric vehicles, acceleration as an important label has been continuously expanded by manufacturers or public relations. In the early publicity of electric vehicles, if you see an electric car with an acceleration of 4 to 5 seconds, at first glance this performance is quite good, but after a look, the 0 to 50 km annotation makes you feel the sinister of word games.
Whether it is the new car manufacturing forces led by Wei Xiaoli or the electrification reform of traditional brands such as Toyota, everyone is committed to providing users with more diversified products at the same time, but also wants to let users experience more extreme driving control. That's why Toyota is trying to build a model like the bZ4X with a touch of off-road fun.
From a reader's point of view, car critics often have the following sentence in the mouth of the evaluation of electric vehicles: "This acceleration has not been able to take down one hundred and eight hundred thousand before." "But I hope that an electric car can also really have the pleasure of handling, not just be silly." And such a day should not be far away.
