Toyota bZ4X Tested In Norway Has Disappointing Range, Big Battery Buffer At 0%

of 252 miles for the front-wheel drive model and 222 miles for the all-wheel drive model. It’s worth noting, though, that the two variants apparently use different battery packs , so that the information presented by the Norwegian reviewers may not be representative for the dual-motor bZ4X; the pack for AWD cars is made by CATL, while FWD vehicles get one manufactured by Panasonic that charges up to 50 percent faster.

Now for Elbil24’s findings. They discovered that the front-wheel drive bZ4X they tested had a huge battery buffer when the vehicle reached 0 percent indicated state of charge. They performed the test twice and concluded that from full to flat, the vehicle was only using around 62 kWh , keeping almost 10 kWh as a buffer.

The range estimate they got on the day of the test was 407 km , which dropped very sharply to 297 km when they set the car’s climate control to maintain 20 degrees Celsius inside the cabin. In the end, they slightly exceeded the initial estimate, achieving 307 km on their standard test route made up of 70 percent country roads, 25 percent on the highway and 5 percent city driving.

They really don't want to make EVs at all. They make more money of hybrids so this is their way of saying: See, they are lousy and expensive! Well goodbye Toyota and Subaru.

Nybiltester in Norway drove it until it stopped and it went 35 km after hitting 0% according to GOM. It seems like it has a sizeable usable buffer (ca 5 kWh) below 0% just like the Leaf and the Ariya.
