A hoʻomaka ka ua, hoʻokahi manawa hou.

Ma ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hele, ke aʻo nei ke kēkelē pila ma waena o ka makahiki 60, a ma ke ʻano o ka huakaʻi, ua hoʻonui wau i kahi haʻahaʻa ma mua o hoʻokahi mile i kēlā me kēia pae kaulike o nā puʻukū. Ke ʻōwili nei i lalo o ke Alaloa Nui 6, ua hoʻololi ka SR / S ma waena o ka coasting, regeneration, a me ka ikehu liʻiliʻi e like me ka umekaumaha i hana ai i nā hana he nui. ʻO Miles ma hope, i ka piʻi ʻana o ka mahina piha e nā ao kaʻawale a hoʻomaka ka ʻōlinolino o ke kukui uila o Portland i ka wā e hele mai ana, ua haʻalele ʻo Freeway 6 i nā ʻāina mahiʻai o ke awāwa ʻo Willamette ākea. Noho ke ana o ka uila i loko o nā 60 haʻahaʻa. Ua noʻonoʻo wau e kū ma Banks no kahi recharge panina, akā i kēia manawa, ʻaʻole makemake ʻia ka pōmaikaʻi.

ʻO ke kālā aʻe ma lalo o ke alanui ma Hillsboro ma Oregon's Silicon Forest, kokoke i kahi o Freeway 6 i pili i Freeway 26, ʻo ka hyperlink mua (akā ʻoi aku ka luhi) ma waena o Portland a me ke kahakai o Oregon ʻākau. Ke hele mai nei i kahi o Hillsboro, ke aʻo nei ka pila i loko o nā makahiki 40 a kau ʻia ka loli ma 38 mile, ʻo ia hoʻi kahi manawa e hana wau i hale me ka kū ʻole. Inā hāʻule pōkole kaʻu kuhi, ʻaʻole ia kahi hana nui loa mai kēia manawa, aia nā mea hoʻoheheʻe kālā ma kahi o kēlā me kēia pā like, no ka polokalamu PlugShare. No laila ua kaomi wau, e piʻi ana i Syibers Hill ma 60mph ma hope e kaa ana i lalo i ke kaona o Portland e koho i Interstate 405, a laila puhi i loko o ka Marquam Bridge pālua i nānā aku iā Portland, a laila piʻi aʻe i Interstate 84 i ka mahele Hikina Hema o ke kaona. Inoa wau i ka hale.

Ke kaʻa nei i luna o kahi ala hele e puka i waho o I-84, haʻalele koke ka hoʻokele hoʻokele iā ia iho no ka mea ua kaomi pono ka pākali i 4 pc, me ʻelua mau mile o ke koena i koe. E lawa ana nō ia. ʻIke wau i kahi mamao pōkole i ka hale e ke kaona no ka mea ua paheʻe ke ʻano o ka hōʻailona i ka ʻole, a huki i ke alaloa me hoʻokahi tick e hōʻike ana i ka ana o ka uila. ʻO 11:11 pm a heluhelu pololei ka mea huakaʻi i 87 mau mile. No ka nānā ʻana o ka GPS ma muli o ka polokalamu Zero app, ua lilo ka huakaʻi i 296 mile a pau.

He aha a he aha e lilo

E hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻia paha ʻaʻole e hoʻomākaukau nā paikikala uila no ke kuleana lōʻihi e ʻike ai. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa maoli, ʻae wau, keu hoʻi i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana me ka ʻoluʻolu o nā keke uila. Eia nō naʻe lawe ʻia e ia iho, hiki ke akāka, hiki ke hana ʻia, kahi pilikia e hālāwai ʻia. Pono ʻoe e hoʻonohonoho pono i kāu mau hoʻolālā a me nā mea i manaʻo ʻia a hiki i nā palena o ka mea nui ʻenehana e pili ana, kikoʻī pono i ka uila. ʻO ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa i kēia manawa a helu ʻia ma ka Zero SR / S: noho ʻoluʻolu, hoʻokele holoholo, hōʻike lepa, nā puʻupuʻu wela, nā ukana ākea, hoʻolālā hoʻolālā huakaʻi, he mau wahi "hoʻouluulu" a pela aku. ʻO ia hiki e hoʻokō ʻia, kūpono i kēia manawa, a wikiwiki a maʻemaʻe ka SR / S - ʻoluʻolu ia e ʻike i nā lā a pau. ʻO ka hoʻokaʻawale mua kahi ʻāpana o kēlā lā e hoʻohana ʻia ana e refueling iā ia. Lohi.

I kēia manawa, ʻo ia wale nō. Ma hope a ma hope paha, kanalua ʻole ma mua o kā mākou e manaʻo ai, ʻokoʻa loa nā pilikia. Aia ke akamai o ka pila uila i kona wā kamaliʻi i kēia manawa, a aia nā hoʻololi nui i ka pae. I loko o nā makahiki e hoʻi mai ana, he 87 mau mile o ke alaloa ākea e 187 mile, a laila 287 a laila 500 mile a pēlā aku. I ka manawa like, e hāʻule ana nā manawa hoʻoiho e like me ke aʻo ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana a me nā formula o nā pila i oʻo a hoʻomohala. I ka manawa, e hoʻouka hou ana i kahi keke uila (a i ʻole kaʻa) e lawe i mau minuke, ʻaʻole hoʻokahi hola a keu. He wahi nīnau iki: e hana ʻia ia. ʻO kekahi o nā ʻoihana nui loa ma ka Honua, i kēlā me kēia ʻāpana kaʻa a me nā ʻenehana, ke hoʻolei nei ieeeea? i loko o ka R&D pākahi, a hiki iā ʻoe ke hilinaʻi i kēia mau hoʻāʻo e hua i loko o ka manawa kokoke i ka wā. E kū mai nā breakthroughs, malia paha nā mea nui, ʻekolu a ʻoi paha nā mana o kahi wahi no kahi manawa like i hāʻawi ʻia no ka mālama ʻana, kahi hana o ka mālama uila i kapa pinepine ʻia nuʻa uila.

ʻO ka nui o ka mana o nā wahie wai e pili pono ana i ka pōhaku (minamina); inā makemake ʻoe e hele i kahi mamao loa, pono ʻoe e lawe keu o ia mea, kahi e hāʻawi ai i ke kaupaona, a laila e lele ana e like me ka hoʻohana ʻia. Me nā pākali, ʻo ka ukana ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻololi. Hoʻohui ʻia, hiki i nā paila ke hana maʻamau i ka mea i manaʻo ʻole ʻole ʻia: kaupaona nui ʻia akā mālama i ka ikehu hou. Pono hōʻoia? Kūʻai i ʻewalu pūʻolo o nā paila alkaline AA a me ʻewalu pūʻali o nā paila lithium AA. ʻOi aku ka māmā o nā lithium akā ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka hope. Hana mana? ʻAʻole, ʻepekema māmā wale nō, ka ʻepekema like e hiki ai i ka pākahi lithium-ion a SR / S e lawe i kahi keke he 505 paona, koʻu kino kupaianaha a me kahi pūpū o nā mea kaumaha no ka hola ma kahi o ka wikiwiki, a ma hope o ka hoʻouka hou ʻana. e hana hou i ke kiʻina hana. Ke noʻonoʻo ʻoe ia, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka Zero SR / S e hana nei me ka hoʻohui o ia kūpono inā kēia He hana mana ʻenehana hou.

Ka manawa e hele ai!

He aha ke ola me ka huakaʻi hele? Manaʻo luhi. I loko o ke kaiaulu ʻoihana hana, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā pilikia a ko mākou mau kūpuna mamao loa e pono ai e kaua - nā meaʻai, ka wai, kahi hoʻomaha, mālama olakino - i kēia manawa he staples i koi ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā o ke ola. ʻAʻole nānā ka poʻe Metropolis e pale i ka wī a paʻa ka wela me nā ʻili holoholona. Loaʻa iā mākou i kēia manawa nā kāʻei puffy, ZoomCare, 7-ʻumikūmākahi nachos a me nā anakahi uila no ka kamaʻilio wikiwiki a me ka leʻaleʻa, me ka haʻi ʻole aku i nā keke uila maikaʻi (a me nā kaʻa). ʻO ke ola kahi hoʻohaʻahaʻa o ka waiwai no ka hapanui o nā kānaka, ke maopopo a maopopo ʻole paha iā lākou. He luhi ke lilo i paionia i kēia mau lā, a ʻoiai ʻo kaʻu mokulele uila e holoholo huakaʻi ana i kekahi mau manawa koʻikoʻi, ʻaʻohe mea i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā hana i hoʻomanawanui ʻia e nā koa maoli e like me ʻO Ted Simon aiʻole ʻO Bessie Stringfield, ka mea i like weliweli, hoʻowahāwahā hohonu a me nā pilikia ʻē aʻe i loko o ka maka a huli i ka throttle nō.

Eia nō naʻe i kekahi ʻano hana liʻiliʻi, ua ʻike wau i kahi ʻuhane o kēlā ʻuhane paionia i koʻu ʻike e nā ala mālie hou o Oregon a me Wakinekona ma kahi motika ʻo ia ka mea mai ka wā lōʻihi loa, mai kahi manawa e hana ana i kaʻu kahakai kahakai i kahi lā i ka wikiwiki ma ka paikikala uila ʻaʻole ia he lolo, no ka hopena he 500 mile ka loli, hana 200hp, hoʻouka hou i 5 mau minuke a hilinaʻi ʻia e like me ka hama. ʻO Zero's SR / S ka nui o ke ala e pili ai i kēlā kūpono i kēia wā. He hoot ia e ʻike, lawe iaʻu i ka hōʻoluʻolu, hele e like me nā dickens a hana pono e like me ka hoʻolālā ʻana, ʻoiai e hele ana i luna a hala i mua o kāna ʻike i ka nui o nā mākau ke loaʻa nā pilikia. Ua loaʻa iaʻu ia i kahi aʻu i makemake ai a makemake e hele i ke ʻano a me ka hoʻokalakupua, a ma hope iho ua loaʻa iaʻu ka hale me ka pilikia ʻole ma waho o nā kaohi o ka uila. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke noi no ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui. Kahi manawa koke, ma mua o ka maopopo ʻole o ka maopopo, he 5 mau minuke ke kumu kūʻai no ke kaʻa uila e loaʻa ana he 500 mau mile o ka loli, a no ka pittance ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā kumukūʻai wahie haʻahaʻa o kēia manawa. Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke kakali i kēlā lā, akā e nele ana ʻoe i kahi loea hoʻokele maikaʻi ma ka Zero SR / S, nā mea like ʻole e ʻike pinepine ai ka poʻe holo i ka loea. ʻO nā mea a pau e hiki iaʻu ke hana, ʻo ka manaʻolana a me ke aʻa no ka hoʻolālā o nā pila e hopu e like me ka mākau maoli o ka Zero SR / S, i mea e lawa koke ai, e hoʻokō ʻia paha koʻu ʻike maʻamau he ʻehiku mau hola ma kahi o lalo o 15 mau hola.
