    I absolutely loved SavageGeese's latest CZcams video where he used AI to review the Toyota bZ4X! It was not only informative but also entertaining, making it a joy to watch from start to finish.
    SavageGeese's mastery of AI technology was truly impressive, as he used it to provide an in-depth analysis of the bZ4X's features and capabilities. The way he presented the information was also quite engaging, making it easy to follow along and understand even the most technical aspects of the car.
    One of the things I appreciate about SavageGeese's reviews is that he always goes beyond the surface-level features of the vehicle, diving deep into the engineering and design aspects of the car. His insights into the bZ4X's battery technology and regenerative braking system, for example, were fascinating and informative.
    Overall, I highly recommend SavageGeese's latest video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Toyota bZ4X. It's an excellent review that provides a comprehensive and insightful look at one of the most innovative electric vehicles on the market today. Great job, SavageGeese!

      The “drop” is pretty much normal. The computer just literally calculates the power consumption *at that moment*, i.e. when you just started the heater and thus the heater will be in full power. Once the cabin is heated enough (which should only takes couples of minutes) the heater will slow down and the range calculation/power consumption will return to normal.

      There's something hilariously wrong with this vehicle. I have an electric VW e-Up, it has a resistive heater not a fancy heatpump, and you lose maybe 10-20 miles of range off the total when you turn the heating on. I have no idea what toyota is doing.

    • @natehoy6924
      @natehoy6924 Před rokem +23

      This is a Toyota-specific issue, pretty much, and I don't understand it. My 2020 Chevy Bolt uses resistive heat and I don't lose anywhere NEAR that kind of range when I turn on the heat. My Tesla Model Y uses a heat pump and the range drop is basically unnoticeable. Almost every mainstream EV, including the venerable Nissan Leaf, is better at heating the cabin without tanking range to the level they were seeing.

  • @bvoyelr
    @bvoyelr Před rokem +34

    Having driven an EV, heating the interior doesn't actually hit the battery that hard. In the moment, it's calculating its output and concluding that you only have x range left, but it doesn't account for the fact that once the interior is warmed up, it doesn't have to work nearly as hard.
    So my 2017 Chevy Bolt used to cruise at highway speeds at 10-15 kwh (it's been a while, so this probably isn't exact, but it's demonstrative). When I turned the heater on, that went up to 25-30 kwh.
    But it only did that for like 5-10 minutes, after which it returned to its maintenance levels. It definitely burned more battery in that time, but I only ever really lost a few miles of range. Basically, the cold battery itself caused WAY more efficiency loss than running the heater.
    At least that was my experience in a climate that never really got below freezing. I guess YMMV up north (literally!).

    • @StanCarrico
      @StanCarrico Před rokem +4

      Several times I have also read recommendations people use remote "start" to preheat the cabin etc while the ev is still theoretically plugged in at home. Still, all EVs are going to take this hit. Perhaps Toyota needs to make their range calculator a bit less sensitive. Good candidate for one of those OTA updates.

    • @LJ-wo1wf
      @LJ-wo1wf Před rokem +1

      I forget where I read it, but heated seats might be better in a "perceived comfort per wattage" way than blowing warm air. I don't have an EV myself but maybe I could at least compare how nice I feel with just heated seats versus just warm HVAC air.

      @@Dowlphin funny enough, my bolt didn't have that problem. It averaged your usage over the past x miles, so it was generally pretty close.

    Do yourself a huge favor and go pick up a lightly used Chevy Bolt EV for under $20k. I have one of the first generation (2017) and it's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. All I've ever done to it is replace the cabin air filter once a year, and the tires after 5 years. Oh, and once a year I replace the wipers. It has heated front and rear leather seats, a heated steering wheel, and a nice stereo. Also, it has more headroom and legroom than my King Ranch Ford F350 pickup. This car has saved me about $19k in gas so it has basically paid for itself in six years. Even after that much time, the range is still well over 200 miles which is plenty for us to drive anywhere we want.

    Another solid video, guys...I have to agree with Jack's assessment here, that Akio Toyoda had to feel incredibly "meh" about having to produce this product. It does come across as a compliance product - look at how fantastic people say the Mirai is (the vehicle itself, ignoring the infrastructure issues), and that's just an engineering development exercise.

    09:01 Jack's right about building more PHEVs and Hybrids for regular commuters.
    One could build 4 PHEVs or many more hybrids with the battery an EV requires.
    Our commuter is a PHEV and all of our commute is EV. We don't have to worry about public charging on long drives.

      You don't have to worry about re-charing but you do have to worry about lugging a battery around with a fossil fuel powered engine. PHEVs are far worse in practice because many people do not plug them in. Then there is the cost of the battery and the additional complexity. At some stage somebody will realise the most efficient and truly sustainable solution is a simple NA gas engine. Probably with no more than 2 valves per cylinder and push rods..🙂

      The same way a 100% gas car makes no sense, a 50% gas car makes no sense. To drill, transport, refine, transport, pump that gas in your PHEV has used more energy than it takes to power a pure EV. The entire idea is dumb.

I literally said we cut out 75% of our gas usage. The only time we use gas is when we drive more than 60 miles at a time which is once a month. For our situation a phev is perfect. Sorry we don't fit your idealized version of a family that can use EVs exclusively. Since you brought intelligence into question, might I remind you that ignorance is far more acceptable than assumption of total knowledge. Have a good day sir.

    Would have been a much better car if it were revived with the Matrix nameplate, given a ~275 mile range, some decent styling and creative interior configurability, priced at $35K. That's how you move the needle on getting EV's to gain traction with mainstream buyers. Or better yet, design it as a dedicated Plug-In Hybrid.

      Akio stepped down as CEO but remains chairman. The new CEO seems more open to EVs. I actually side with Akio though. Smaller batteries work better for most daily commuting, and they can build a lot more RAV4/Prius Primes than BZ4Xs. Infrastructure and tech isn’t quite there yet.

    You are the only ones who have reviewed this car to point out the obvious, that Toyota did not want to make this car and made it only because it felt it had to.
    That said, and I've said this on other reviews, this and its Lexus twin are not being pointed at the broad market but are being offered primarily as something to keep the members of their very brand-loyal customer base who want BEVs in the fold. They aren't making very many of them and will have no problem selling the volume they're planning to ship.
    This is all, of course, very cynical, but no more so than the decisions made by many businesses.
