Nice telemetry overlay! Could you please share some insights on how you're getting these done please 🙂 Would guess that the montage includes dashcam footage, recording of the main navigation display (via either AA or CarPlay), footage of your instrument cluster (using something like a GoPro) and a screen recording of CarScanner Pro (for the OBD data) from a 2nd phone?

The Toyota bZ4X using Tesla MagicDock is a fantastic feature! I can now use Tesla Superchargers for quicker and easier charging on the go. It’s so convenient and makes road trips much simpler.

I enjoy my commute in the Toyota bZ4X, especially with the windows down. It’s so peaceful and efficient, and the car’s smooth ride makes it easy to enjoy the fresh air while staying comfortable.

You might want to mention that you are using a OBD reader to get realtime data from the car. I have a BZ4X myself and have to use one myself to get such data in ABRP.

We live in CO and it is a mix. In the Denver proper plenty of charging stations but not many places to do it at home (older homes w no garage or many condos). Away from the city you have to drive far between towns, not much charging infrastructure. As my neighbor with the Prius put it, the range drops in the winter cold, it doesn't do well in snow, the range drops going into the mountains uphill, and the range drops when its hot, but otherwise it works well. I asked when "works well" is, he laughed and said he spent a few thousand for a home charge kit and commutes to work with it and runs errands except in the snow. (They also don't plow roads here so any non 4WD struggles to some extent and many small cars get stuck after heavy snow in our neighborhood). You have niche users like him, then the virtue signalers up in Boulder who will tell everyone to get one as if they are affordable, just like housing there lol (30-40% higher there and mostly older). EV Still only a few % of cars on the road but not zero...guaranteed to see a couple each day. Some BMW drivers have obviously converted to tesla given some of the antics I see. The price premium even with incentive, lack of range and practicality, expensive battery...still a couple decades away I think. Not for me personally in 2025. They can do better. I am 3 years away from a new car when my kid turns 16, it will 100% be ICE.

Charge too too too slow 🦥😞

How good is the adoption of EVs in your area?

Hi John! Happy New Year! Kind of a random and hopefully not too much of a request, but I have been following your adventures on your website since I was about 12 years old in 2007, I’ve read almost all of your personal logs, I think we chatted before way back on PriusChat, I have printed hundreds of your info sheets and user guides over the years to hand out before I even got my first car (2001 Electric Green Mica) in 2010, and have owned the first 4 generations of Prius since. I still currently own my 2016 Gen.4 and bought a Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell in 2022 after I moved from West Virginia to Southern California. Anyway, without making this comment too much longer, I would really love and appreciate if you were able to dig up some of the old Prius commercials, promo videos, and any other video clips you may have and want to share. Especially for the Gen.1 NHW10/nhw11 models and some early Gen.2 stuff. Four years since I got into Prius back in 2007 I have probably several hundred gigabytes of videos I’ve collected over the years, but I know I’m still missing some that have been lost to time.

How many miles do you normally get on a charge etc

The Toyota bZ4X with Tesla MagicDock is a game-changer! It’s great to see Toyota making it even easier for drivers to access the Tesla Supercharger network for fast and reliable charging.

And thank you.....

The smooth acceleration and handling of the bZ4X make it a comfortable option for daily commutes in autumn conditions.

The battery range of the bZ4X holds up well in colder climates, making it a reliable option for winter driving.

I’m really impressed by the bZ4X’s heat pump. It’s a smart solution for keeping the car warm in winter while keeping energy use efficient.

The heat pump in the Toyota bZ4X is a smart feature for improving energy efficiency in colder climates.

Thanks for the vid! Those omlettes look fantastic! I can't wait for the temp to drop here in Indiana so I can test out how my XLE FWD does. I want to do fast charging too with a cold battery pack to see how fast the heater warms the battery. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Why does the outside temp suddenly go from 27 to -40?

Good information. I live in Germany, but I have registered with Tesla, among other things. the payment works via Paypal. or not. I get my bz4x in mid-December 24, so soon. no electric vehicle, but already half a dozen charging contracts. I hope for you in the USA that it is easier with you. here you can have many different prices at a charging station. depending on the card. luckily there is an app that is the cheapest card for you I'm curious how it will be for me after 50 years of pumping. starting with a moped (14 years old).The test drive with the Toyota was very impressive. on the first meters I felt very well cared for in the car. better than in my Lexus UX 250h. all good from Germany (Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia) 😅

Hi! Does the toyota native navigation system suggest charge stops if you navigate to a trip that is longer than than range of the car? Also how google mpas navigation works on the same test? Could you make a video demonstrating on how it works? I cannot find any videos on KZbin of this. You don't need to drive the trip of course :D

Any update if this ever came as an update?

Watching the traffic between 1:00 and 2:00, it is easy to see how a world with all autonomous cars able to coordinate a slower but constant driving speed would eliminate this start and stop traffic.

I'm still amazed at the relative efficiency of the bZ4x. This car gets unfairly judged by EV fanatics as being "worst" compared to the likes of the Model Y, ID.4, Mach-e and Ioniq 5, but in your hands it looks like a great EV.

8 minutes to get things started? That was painful to watch. I'll stick with level 2, lol

I'm surprised how efficient bZ4X is. Do you know starting and ending elevation?

I only have a 9 mile drive to work. In the winter, 10f-30f typically, this probably wouldn't be practical for saving much over my Prius C, but I know in the summer (80 degrees max usually) I could get there without any gas usage.
