Zowopsa ndi Zosangalatsa Zoyendetsa Mtunda Wautali Pa Njinga Yamoto ya Zero SR / S

Pa makompyuta apakompyuta, gwiritsani ntchito 'Command +' kuti mukulitse nkhaniyo kuti mukhale ndi zithunzi zokulirapo.

Chizindikiro cha mseu phunzirani asanu ndi atatu mailosi kupita ku Astoria momwe ndidasinthira kale. Kuyeza kwa batri panjinga yamagetsi ya Zero SR / S yomwe ndimayendetsa kale ndidatchula kuti ndidangokhala zisanu ndi chimodzi Mitunduyi imasiyidwa mosiyanasiyana, ndipo chojambulira chapafupi kwambiri chinali kumapeto kwa ma mailosi eyiti awa - pamodzi ndi mlatho wautali, wochepa kwambiri pamadzi omwe nthawi zambiri amakhumudwa. Monga Everett McGill akanatha kunena, Ndinali pamalo othina.

Kupitilira mamailosi sikisite m'mbuyomu, ndidasankha ulendo wopita mwachangu kuti ndikatenge zithunzi za Zero SR / S, ndipo masamu anga panthawiyo amawoneka kuti akunena kuti mwina nditha kusiyanasiyana kuti ndikafike ku mzinda wokongola wa m'mphepete mwa nyanja wa Astoria, yomwe ili kumpoto chakumadzulo kwa Oregon pomwe Mtsinje wamphamvu wa Columbia umakumana ndi Pacific Ocean yamphamvu kwambiri.

Tsopano, masamu anga olakwika ndi zisankho zina zoyipa zidabweranso kudzandifunafuna. Ndipo sizinali ngati ndikanangodutsa ndikukweza njinga yamoto yabuluu; Sikuti sipangakhaleko ma charger a Stage II paliponse pomwe patsekedwa, ndinali nditaiwalanso kupereka chojambulira cha 120-volt Stage I ndi ine, chomwe chimatseguka tsiku lililonse ngati toaster. Pang'onopang'ono, komabe zimatheka.

Zinalibe kanthu chifukwa panalibe chitukuko chochuluka mulimonse, osatchulapo malo ogulitsa magetsi. Komabe pamene ndimayendetsa kale zolembedwera ndimatumba omwe mwina anali ndi malo akunja, ndimayesetsa kusaiwala kuti umu ndi momwe amakumbukira zopitilira muyeso, ndi mayesero. Maulendo komwe zinthu zonse zimayenda mwadala zimatha kuzimiririka pakukumbukira kwakanthawi. Sizinkawoneka ngati izi nthawi ino. Kodi ndingapezeke kuti ndiyenera kukankha njingayo pamlatho wotalika, womwe umadzaza ndi alendo obwera pamalori? Ndinanjenjemera ndikugwetsa liwiro langa ku 50mph.

Ndidali mgawo lachiwiri laulendo wanga, womwe ndidayamba m'mawa kuti ndiyankhe funso: Zomwe zimafunikira, pamtengo, nthawi, kukonzekera ndi mphamvu, kuyendetsa galimoto mtunda wautali pa magetsi njinga? Zero SR / S ndi makina atsopano komanso abwino kwambiri ku California, makina amakono, othamanga mokwanira othamangitsidwa ndiukadaulo waposachedwa kwambiri komanso mphamvu zazikulu, zokhoza 0-60 zochitika zomwe zitha kuwotcha ma supercars ambiri komanso kuthamanga kwambiri manambala oyenera-anu-layisensi. Mzinda wozungulira, ndi chida chamagazi chodzaza magalimoto. Komabe nanga bwanji kuyendetsa mtunda? Pambuyo pa masabata angapo ndikudutsa doko la Portland pa SR / S, ndidapempha Zero kuti ndiwonjezere ena panniers ku SR / S pakuyesa, komwe adachita limodzi ndi mlandu wapamwamba (womwe ndidamaliza kuwufafaniza). Kuphatikiza apo adawonjezera chapakatikati.

Kuyesera kwanga kunali kosavuta: Nditha kuwona njira yomwe ndadutsapo kangapo pazaka njinga zamagetsi, njira yomwe ndimakonda kuyitcha "Tillamook Loop," yomwe imayambira ku Portland, Oregon. Njirayo imatsatira mtsinje wa Columbia kumpoto kenako chakumadzulo m'mbali mwa misewu yopita ku Astoria, kenako imatsikira kugombe kupita ku Tillamook, mzinda womwe udadziwika ndi dzina lake tchizi. Amatchedwa "Mpaka-u-muck," ndipo zowonadi, tchizi ndiwodziwika bwino padziko lonse lapansi. Kuchokera pamenepo, Freeway 6, yoluma-miyendo iwiri, ulusi wapamphepete mwa Coast Vary kachiwiri kulowera ku Portland. Mtunda wathunthu (Googled): 283 miles. Pa njinga ya ICE ya tsiku ndi tsiku, zokumana nazo zimatenga pafupifupi maola asanu ndi limodzi, kapena kupitilira apo mukasiya pafupi ndi momwe mungasewerere Skee-Ball ku Seaside, tengani madzi amchere amchere ku Cannon Seaside, imwani zala zanu pamafunde a Hug Mulingo, kapena tengani malo opanga magawo opangira tchizi (thandizani kwathunthu - tchizi chaulere!). Izi ndi zitsanzo zochepa chabe mwa zambiri, ambiri malo amayimira kuyimilira pambali pa njirayo. Komabe ingatenge nthawi yayitali bwanji poyendetsa njinga yamagetsi, yomwe imakhala ndi nthawi yayitali yolipiritsa?

ZAMBIRI KWA ma forbesKubwereza Kwanthawi Yitali: Zero's SR / S Electric Motorcycle Ikukwezanso BarBy Bill Roberson

Ndinagwiritsa ntchito pulogalamu ya PlugShare kukonzekera njira yanga ndipo gawo loyambirira laulendowu lidayenda ndi manambala. Ndidachoka ku Portland nthawi ya 8 m'mawa ndikutsata Freeway 30 kupita ku Lewis ndi Clark Bridge wazaka 90 zomwe zimawoloka Mtsinje wa Columbia ndikulumikiza Oregon ndi Washington, ndikufika ku Decrease Columbia School ku Longview, Washington, 62 mamailo kutali. Ndidayika chojambulira cha Class II 6kW mkati mwa malo oimikapo magalimoto. Nthawi zambiri, koleji imatha kukhala mkati, komabe sukuluyo inali chete pamene ophunzira aku koleji amaliza kafukufuku wawo kunyumba chifukwa cha mliri wa coronavirus. Zero komabe inali ndi mtengo wa 20% pomwe ndimadina cholumikizira m'malo mwake. Ndidapereka nthawi ndikuyenda bwino pamalopo omata bwino komanso opanda phokoso, pomalizira pake kukathera ku sitolo ya sangweji ya Subway kuti ndikonzekere ulendo wotsalira. Nthawi yokwanira 100%? Ola limodzi, mphindi 10. Zamtengo: Zaulere. Sangweji? $ 6, kuphatikiza msonkho (ndi muzu mowa).

Ndili ndekha, ndikumenyedwa pamchenga, ndinaloza SR / S up Freeway 4, njira yabwino kwambiri yolowera mmbali mwa Mtsinje wa Columbia kulowera kunyanja ya Pacific, pomwe imakumana ndi Freeway 101 ya m'mphepete mwa nyanja. Kutambasula mamailosi 73 pa batire la SR / S, ndipo ndidayika njinga mu Eco mode ndikutseka poyendetsa bwato pa ma 55 mamailosi pa ola, yomwe sinatenge nthawi yayitali chifukwa ma curve adayamba kubwerera mwachangu, ndikuchepetsa kufulumira kwachangu ndikufunafuna kayendetsedwe kabwino ka anthu. Misewu yayikulu nthawi zina imakhala ndi mizinda yaying'ono ngati Skamokawa, malo omwe ndinatsekera kuti ndibwerere mwachangu kumalo omwe ndimacheza nawo kale, Lucky Mud, malo omwe ine ndi anzanga tinkakonda kupita kukapanga nthawi yocheperako komanso gofu yaying'ono kwambiri m'derali - mwina padziko lapansi. Itha kukhala lingaliro labwino.

Ndinkachita masewera olimbitsa thupi kwambiri kuti ndikafike ku Astoria, komabe njira yolowera ku Fortunate Mud idandigulira mamitala 10 ofunikira mosiyanasiyana, kupitirira zomwe ndidazindikira panthawiyo, ndipo tsopano ndimakhala ndimakhala ndi nkhawa mosiyanasiyana pamene ndimayang'ana digirii ya batri ikuphimba pofiirira chifukwa idagwera pansi pa pc khumi, kenako 9, pambuyo pake eyiti, ndimakilomita sikisi okha otsala. Astoria, ndi charger yotsatira, idagona mamailosi asanu ndi atatu - ndi mlatho umodzi waukulu - kutali. Ndinazunguliza nthiti mpaka kutsika pang'ono ndipo pakamwa pa Mtsinje wa Columbia panatseguka kale kuposa ine, khomo lolowera ku Mlatho wa Astoria-Megler Kutali, kuwoloka kwa mphepo, kochepera ma kilomita anayi kuwoloka kutalika komwe kumatalika 200 ft pamwamba pa Columbia River pafupi kwambiri ndi Astoria - ndipo anali pamtunda wa mamailosi atatu. Mamita a batri adadina mpaka 5 pc ndidataya velocity yanga ku 45mph.

Zero SR / S makamaka ndi mtundu wachinyengo wa Zero's SR / F mannequin, ndipo ndidadziwa kuyambira nthawi yanga ndi F kuti njinga siziima pomwe batire ifika zero. Mofanana kwambiri ndi njinga yakale yoyendera gasi, ili ndi "mphamvu" yambiri yomwe ingapititse patsogolo makinawo, ngakhale atatsika pang'ono. Komabe kwa njira yayitali bwanji? Zomwe ndimayesa kugwiritsa ntchito SR / F mpaka zero (pomwe pafupi kwambiri ndi nyumba) zikuwoneka kuti zikuwonetsa kuti zinali ndi ma mailosi ochepa atatsala pang'ono kugunda 0%. Ndidaponya SR / S ku 30mph, ndikuyatsa magetsi owopsa ndikuyenda m'mbali paphewa pomwe ndimayandikira kolowera mlatho, nthawi zina ndikumenyedwa ndi galimoto yonyamula, chonyamulira kapena RV momwe amayenda ndi 55 kapena kupitilira apo. Kutsikira pa mlatho, batire limaphunzira zero mosiyanasiyana powonjezeranso pa zero. Komabe, a SR / S adagulitsana pa 30mph, komabe kukwera pamwamba pa mlatho wa 200-mlatho kunadutsa kale kuposa ine, ndipo ndinali ndi kukayikira kuti pakhala ma elekitironi okwanira ozungulira omwe anali mu paketi ya batri kuti akwere , powona momwe njinga yamoto idalemera pafupifupi 530 kilos ndi ma panniers, ndidawonjezeranso 230 kapena apo ndipo ndinali ndi zida zambiri za digicam - kuphatikiza sangwejiyo. Batire yomwe ilibe ija imayenera kukankhira pafupi ma 800 kilos kukwera phiri lalitali kwambiri. Ndidayamba kukukuta enamel chifukwa kukwera kudayamba.

Mlatho wazaka 54 ukhoza kukhala wautali kwambiri koma kuwonjezera pamenepo wowonda kwambiri wopanda phewa lagalimoto, ndipo kutaya mphamvu zonse paphiri kumatha kundiyika pamalo owopsa oyimitsa alendo obwera kutsamba, zambiri zomwe zidapangidwa ma semis, ma RV ndi zojambula. Komabe mpaka SR / S idapita, manambala othamangitsa pang'onopang'ono akucheperachepera chifukwa nthawi yayitali idafika kuno pafupi. Ndili ndi alendo obwera kutsamba langa kumbuyo kwanga ndikunyamula chikwiyire mokwiya ndikuyesera kuti ndipite, ndidakwera kwambiri kutalika kwa 25mph, kuchepetsa maswiti akuyenda ndimitsempha yanga chifukwa SR / S idatenga velocity - ndi mphamvu kuchokera kukonzanso - monga ine adagubuduza mwachidule koma adatsikira ku Astoria. Ndili ndi ziro pomwe ndimawonetsa magiya a Zero, pang'onopang'ono ndinayambanso kuyenda m'misewu kupita kokwerera, mwamwayi ndili pafupi ndi mlatho. Makumi asanu ndi anayi kuchokera pa charger, mota idazimitsa ndipo "bateri yatha" idawonekera pawonetsero la LCD. Ndinakankhira ma SR / S ma ft angapo am'mbuyomu pa charger ndikudina cholumikizira m'malo mwake. Ndinganene motsimikiza kuti 2020 Zero SR / S yokhala ndi batire ya 14.4kWh, yomwe ili ndi ma panniers onse komanso wokwera kwambiri wokwera mayendedwe okwana 88.7 mtunda woyenda kwambiri pa 55mph (ndipo ochepa ku 30mph ) pamtengo umodzi. Anali 2:45 pm, ndipo ulendo wanga makamaka unali pakati pakatikati.

Kutenga batri kukhala yopanda ntchito chifukwa njira za mkati za Zero zitha kuyipangitsa kuti ifike (ndipo sizabwino kuti batire ichite izi, kukuganizirani) kuti mutsegule pa mtengo zana pc kuchokera pa mfundo ya Stage II 6kWh inatenga maola awiri ndipo Mphindi 2, nthawi yomwe ndimayenda mozungulira mzinda wokongola wa Astoria komanso malo osangalatsa, malo ogulitsira komanso malo odyera akhala akuvutika kuti apulumuke potenga zopereka popereka chithandizo cha coronavirus. Ena sanachite izi, popeza zizindikiro zatsopano za Kubwereketsa zidapachikidwa m'mawindo angapo apanyumba. Tawuniyi ili ndi mabenchi omwe amayandikira pafupi ndi chojambulacho ndipo ndidagwiritsa ntchito foni yanga ya smartphone pang'ono pomwe mtengo udakwaniritsidwa. Mtengo? Kulipira kwathunthu kwa $ 16.

Mwendo Wachitatu, zokumana nazo zazifupi ku Tillamook, zidagwa patsogolo. Zinali pambuyo pa 5pm nditasintha chinthu chofunikira. Apanso pamsewu, ndidasintha Zero kuchokera pa Eco mode kupita ku Sport R, njira yomwe ndidapangira yomwe inali yofananira ndi masewera olimbitsa thupi omwe ali ndi mphamvu zonse koma ndi regen idatembenuza 95 pc, zomwe zidapatsa SR / S zizolowezi zochepetsako potsekeka kwambiri ngati njinga yanga yangayanga, Honda CBR1100XX Tremendous Blackbird. Ndipo pomwe SR / S ilibe malire am'malire a Blackbird, imakhala yayikulu kuposa momwe amafananirana ndi kuthamangitsidwa kwankhanza, chifukwa ma roketi a torque a 140 mapaundi am'mbuyomu ma 60 mamaola ola mkati mwazomwe zimapumira .

Atatulutsidwa, SR / S ndichosangalatsa pakona, ngakhale ndimiyambo yakumbuyo ya SHAD kuphatikiza kulemera kumbuyo. Komabe mosasamala kanthu za kukoka ma derrière anga, ma pannies, zida za digicam, zida zamvula, masokosi owuma ndi zokometsera, a SR / S adanyozedwa ndi nook pambuyo pa nook ndi kukhazikika kosangalatsa, kusalala kokongola komanso kuthamanga kwakanthawi pomwe ndimayang'ana njira yanga pansi kwambiri Freeway 101 yopindika komanso yopanda kanthu polowera ku Tillamook, 65 miles kutali. Ndili ndimisasa yaku Oregon, malo opumulirako tchuthi komanso makampani ambiri atsekedwa chifukwa cha mliriwu, mseu wopotoza udamasulidwa makamaka kuchokera kwa omwe amabwera pamasamba, ndipo ndidapereka zochepa zomwe zidalipo chifukwa SR / S 'yoyenda bwino ya torque idandiponya ma RV angapo , kujambulitsa ma boti ndi njinga zosiyanasiyana (kupatula gaggle okwera masewera) kupanga njira yawo kumwera. Ndidamaliza Anyamata Otayika oyenera Nyanja yam'nyanja yochotsa mwachangu pambuyo pake kamodzinso m'nyanja yokongola ya Cannon, chifukwa chake, ndizofunikira kwambiri ndipo ndimapereka taffy wodziwika bwino wamadzi amchere kunyumba anali kugwira ntchito moopsa.

Ndikhazikitsidwanso, ndidawombera 101 kupita ku Tillamook, komabe nthawi yochedwa (ndi mliri) zimatanthauza kuti zitseko zodziwika bwino zopanga tchizi zatsekedwa kwa anthu onse ndipo malo oyimikapo magalimoto anali otsekedwa, omwe adakokedwa kuti ndi amodzi mwa 4 zolipiritsa pazomwe ndalemba (zowona, ndikadatha kuti ndidutse chotchinga, komabe….). Chaja yotsatirayi mtawuniyi idakhala ndi a Chevy Bolt, komabe kachitatu sichinali chokopa ndipo ndidapeza chojambulira chomwe sichinachitike pa Blue Heron French Cheese Firm, malo okopa alendo oyenda pa Freeway 101 omwe awomboledwa ndi malonda abwino amkaka , ziboliboli zochititsa chidwi, mathirakitala achikale ndi mapikoko ena osangalatsa angapo omwe akhala akuyenda m'malo osungidwa bwino. Pofunafuna malo oti mupereke ndalama pa charger, chikwangwani chaching'ono chidawulula kuti tili m'masiku oyambilira amagetsi: Kulipiritsa kunali kwaulere, limodzi ndi a Teslas pamfundo yoyandikana nayo. Sangalalani nazo pomwe zimatha, anthu oyendetsa EV.

Ndi SR / S ikulowetsa pang'onopang'ono mphamvu zamagetsi ndikuwala masana, ndidayenda pambali pa Freeway 101 ndikutambasula, ndikutenga zithunzi chifukwa thambo lidasintha mitundu. Alendo anali pafupifupi kulibeko chifukwa mzinda wawung'ono unamenyerapo mabatani Lachisanu usiku wozizira; palibe malo odyera kapena makalabu ausiku omwe adatsegulidwa ngakhale, pamapeto pake, phokoso la kuyambiranso kwakhala kuli mlengalenga. Oregon adakwanitsa kuphulika bwino, ndikuthamangira mwadzidzidzi kutseka makoleji ndi makampani mu Marichi funso laling'ono lothandizira kuphatikizira kufalikira kwa matenda. Komabe, polemba izi, anthu opitilira 160 adawonongeka kuchokera ku COVID-19 m'bomalo pafupifupi 5,000 atadetsedwa. Manambala otsika, mwina, ngakhale misewu yayikulu yopanda kanthu, malo ogulitsira komanso kusapezeka kwathunthu kwa anthu omwe amapita kutchuthi nthawi zambiri amakhala khamu la anthu mkati mwa Juni kuti akumbukire kuti zotsatira zomaliza zotani zimachitika pansi pa vuto lalikulu kwambiri mliri wa tizilombo toyambitsa matenda. Makamuwo abwerera, pakapita nthawi. Zitha kukhala kuti - kapena mwina - zoyipa kwambiri ngati sitikhala tcheru.

Ola limodzi ndi mphindi 38 nditafika ku Tillamook, chojambuliracho ndidadumphadumpha ndipo ndidalowetsa chozizira chanyumba mu jekete langa, ndidavala khosi lotentha ndikukumba magolovesi anga achisanu kuchokera panniers kumbuyo. Zinali zoposa milingo 60, komabe ndimadziwa kuti zimangokhala zazifupi. Ndinali kusangalala ndi nyimbo ndipo ndimachita zambiri chifukwa chodabwitsa Cardo Packtalk Bold dongosolo lomwe ndidayika mu AGV Sportmodular Mono chisoti, komabe tsopano ndidalowetsa zomangira zamakutu kutontholetsa phokoso la mphepo yanyumba yayikulu yamiyendo ndikuzimitsa nyimbozo. Inali 9:15 pm nditatulutsa gawo la Blue Heron ndikukwera pa Freeway 6 kulowera ku Portland. Chaja yoyandikira kwambiri inali pafupifupi ma 60 mamailosi ku Banks, komabe sizomwe zidandipangitsa kuti ndiyimbire ndekha ndimachoka ku Tillamook ndipo msewu wopita kumisewu ikuchepera mpaka pamayendedwe awiri ochepa chifukwa adayamba kukwera ku Coast Vary.

Monga mtolankhani wawayilesi yakanema yapafupi zaka zapitazo, ndidalemba nthano zambiri zakuwonongeka kwa "The Six" momwe zimadziwika m'chigawo, njoka, kupotoza komanso njira zosagwirizana zomwe zimalumikiza gombe kupita mkati mwa Oregon. Tsiku lonse, ndimalo owoneka bwino komanso okwera masewera kumwamba. Nthawi yausiku, kumakhala kokhotakhota, kokhotakhota kwakuda mumsewu pomwe mphalapala, mphalapala, dalaivala woledzera, galimoto yosweka kapena thanthwe lingabisalire nook, ndipo pali ngodya zambiri. Ndakhazikitsa kayendetsedwe ka SR / S ku 50 (malo othamangitsidwira ndi 55) chifukwa kukwera kumapiri kunayamba, ndipo monga momwe ndimaganizira njira imodzi yomwe gawoli lingakhudzire ngati kunayamba kugwa mvula, kunayamba kugwa mvula. Ndidasintha Zero to Rain mode, yomwe idasokoneza kayendetsedwe kake ndi chidwi cha ABS pomwe sichimachepetsa mphamvu, ngakhale kuthamanga kwa msewu kunatsalira pampu. Ndinkakhala ndisakusamba mvula mphindi zingapo pambuyo pake mobwerezabwereza, koma chinali chokumbutsa kuti tsopano, msewu wopindika ungakhale wouma mulingo uliwonse ndipo mvula yochepetsera masomphenya ikhoza kubwera.

Mumdima, SR / S idandinyamula, nyali zowala bwino za LED zikuponyera kuwala kothwanima kwa dzuwa mumsewu, ndikuwunika - kuphatikiza mapasa a LED - kuyatsa mabatani olimba a tchire lalitali lomwe linapanga msewu woyenda ndikuthira thambo. Palibe ntchito yama cell pa Freeway 6 yambiri chifukwa imadula ndi zigwa zakuya komanso ulusi ndi nkhalango zazitali, chifukwa chake kusokonekera kapena kuwonongeka kumatha kukhala ndi zilango zakupha chifukwa ngati palibe amene akudziwa kuti mwachita ngozi, thandizani sikubwera . Kupinda kuzungulira kamodzi kokha nthawi yomweyo, mzere wa nyali - zoyambirira zomwe ndidaziwona - zakhala zikubwera molakwika. Zonse mwadzidzidzi, ngakhale zinali njira zochepa, galimoto yoyendetsa idayang'ana mumsewu wanga wonse - ndikusowa. Lachiwiri ndi lachitatu lidachita chimodzimodzi momwe ndidafulumira. Dalaivala womaliza adayimilira, ndikuphethira, ndikuwalitsa kuzindikiritsa kupezeka kwanga. Ndidakwawira m'mbuyomu pa 3mph ndipo ndidazindikira kuti inali phodo la Jeeps lokwera msewu wodula mitengo; am'deralo amakonda kusangalala Lachisanu usiku. Oyendetsa a Jeep womaliza adanyamula nyanga yake pomwe ndimadutsa pambuyo pake ndikuwombera msewu kuti ndikabwerere m'gululi, ndipo msewu waukulu udakutidwa ndi mdima wambiri posachedwa. Sindinazindikire galimoto limodzi kumbuyo kwanga mosasamala kanthu za kuthamanga kwanga pang'onopang'ono.

Poyerekeza mosiyanasiyana kupitirira kutalika kwa 1,500-foot, kutentha kumatenga magawo 42 pa Zero ndikuwonetsera kanyumba kowala kwambiri. Msewu wokhotakhota unatsikira pansi, msewu womwe nthawi zambiri unkakokedwa ndi kukongoletsa kosakongola, ma dipu ndi mabatani omwe adatsalira pomwe magawo ake angapo adatsukidwa panthawi yamvula yayikulu mu 1996 ndi zaka zotsatira. Komabe kuyimitsidwa kwa Sh / SR komwe kunachitika bwino ku Showa kunakwaniritsa zolakwika m'misewu mosavutikira ndipo ndiyenera kunena kuti, yawona kuti ndi imodzi mwamipando yayikulu kwambiri ya njinga yomwe ndakhala ndi mwayi wodziwa. Poyamba sindinkachita manyazi. Ngakhale ndimavala magolovesi achisanu, zikhatho zanga zayamba kuzizira, chifukwa tsopano popeza ndimakhala ndikutsika, ndidatsegula ma handgrips ofunda omwe adabwera kuno ndi mtundu wa Premium wa SR / S. Mofulumira, manambala anga asambitsidwa ndi kutentha ndipo m'mene ndimasungira zikuchitika okwera, kutentha kozungulira kunayamba kukwera. Ndipo kunayamba kugwa mvula, kamodzinso.

Apanso popita, digiri ya batri inali kuphunzira mkati mwa 60s, ndipo mkati mwa ulendowu, ndimakhala wocheperako pang'ono kuposa mile imodzi pamtengo wofanana ndi batri. Pansi pansi pa Freeway 6, SR / S idasinthasintha pakati pa kugunda, kusinthanso, ndi mphamvu zochepa monga mphamvu yokoka idagwira ntchito zambiri. Miles pambuyo pake, mwezi wathunthu utatuluka ndikugawana mitambo ndipo kuwala kochepa kwa magetsi a mzinda wa Portland kudayamba kuwonekera posachedwa, Freeway 6 idatulukira m'mapiri oyandikira a Willamette Valley. Choyimira cha batri chinakhalabe mkati mwa 60s yotsika. Ndinali ndi cholinga chosiya ku Banks kuti ndikhale ndi mwayi wotseka, komabe tsopano, mwamwayi sankafunidwa.

Chaja yotsatirayi inali mumsewu ku Hillsboro ku Oregon Silicon Forest, pafupi ndi malo Freeway 6 yolumikizidwa ndi Freeway 26, ulalo woyamba (koma wosasangalatsa) pakati pa Portland ndi gombe lakumpoto kwa Oregon. Pofika mu danga la Hillsboro, batiri linali kuphunzira mkati mwa 40s ndipo zosiyana zimapachikidwa pa 38 miles, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti panali mwayi woti ndikhale nyumba osayima. Ngati kuyerekezera kwanga kudafupika, sichinali ntchito yayikulu kwambiri kuyambira pano, pakhala pali ma charger omwe akuwoneka pafupifupi pamtundu uliwonse, pulogalamu ya PlugShare. Chifukwa chake ndidapitilira, ndikukwera Sylvan Hill pa 60mph kenako ndikutsikira kuzilumba za Portland kuti ndikasankhe Interstate 405, kenako kuphulika pakati pa Bridge ya Marquam yomwe ili moyang'anizana ndi Portland, ndikumaliza Interstate 84 kulowa gawo lakumwera chakum'mawa kwa tawuni Ndikutchula nyumba.

Kuthamangira kumtunda kuti mutuluke I-84, oyendetsa sitimayo mwadzidzidzi amadzichotsera okha chifukwa batireyo idadina mpaka pc 4, ndikutsalira ma mile awiri. Zikhala zokwanira. Ndimakumana ndi mtunda waufupi wopita kunyumba ndi tawuni chifukwa chizindikirocho chimazemba mpaka zero, ndikulowa munjira yolowera ndi nkhupakupa kamodzi pa gaji ya batri. Ndi 11:11 pm ndipo ma tripmeter amawerenga 87 mamailosi ndendende. Pazomwe ntchito ya Zero ikuyang'anira momwe GPS ikuyendera, ulendowu udakhala wa 296 miles.

Zomwe Zidzakhala Ndi Zomwe Zidzakhale

Titha kunena kuti njinga zamagetsi sizingakonzekeretsereulendo wakutali. Ndotsutsana kwambiri, ndikuvomereza, makamaka poyerekeza ndi kutonthoza kwa njinga zamagetsi zamagetsi. Ngakhale yatengedwa yokha, ndizotheka kuchita, yotheka, vuto lomwe lingachitike. Mukungoyanjanitsa mapulani anu ndi zoyembekeza zanu mpaka malire a chinthu chofunikira chomwe akukhudzidwa, makamaka magwiridwe antchito a batri. Zina zonse za njinga yoyendera masewera zinali zapano ndipo zimawerengedwa pa Zero SR / S: mpando wowoneka bwino, kasamalidwe kaulendo wapamtunda, chiwonetsero cha tizirombo, zotchinga, katundu wotakasuka, pulogalamu yokonzekera ulendo, malo angapo "oyatsira" zina zotero. Icho mungathe aphedwe, pakadali pano, ndipo SR / S ndiyabwino msanga komanso yoyera - ndizosangalatsa kuyipeza tsiku lonse. Kusiyanitsa kwakukulu ndi gawo la tsikulo lakhala likuwonjezeredwa. Pang'onopang'ono.

Pakadali pano, ndi momwe zimakhalira. Posakhalitsa, mosakayikira patsogolo pathu tikuyembekezera, mavuto adzakhala osiyana kwambiri. Ukadaulo wamafashoni wama batire wayamba kumene pakali pano, ndipo zosintha zazikulu zili pafupi. Mkati mwa zaka zobwereranso, mayendedwe 87 a mayendedwe osiyanasiyana amakhala ma 187 mamailosi, kenako 287 kenako 500 mamailo ndi zina zotero. Nthawi yomweyo, mipata yolipiritsa ipitilira kugwa pamene njira zokhomera ndi mabatire amakula ndikukula. M'kupita kwanthawi, kubweza njinga yamagetsi (kapena magalimoto) kumatenga mphindi, osati ola limodzi kapena kupitilira apo. Musakhale ndi funso laling'ono: zichitika. Makampani ochepa kwambiri padziko lapansi, mgulu lililonse lamagalimoto ndi ukadaulo, akutaya mabiliyoni mu R & D ya batri, ndipo mutha kudalira zoyesayesa izi kuti mubereke zipatso posachedwa. Kuphulika kumachitika, mwina kwakukulu, malowa amatha katatu kapena kupitilira malo omwewo osungira, kusungira magetsi komwe kumatchedwa mphamvu kachulukidwe.

Kuchuluka kwa mphamvu zamafuta amadzi kwatsala pang'ono kuikidwa pamiyala (pepani); ngati mukufuna kupita patsogolo, muyenera kunyamula zowonjezera, zomwe zimalemera, zomwe zimasinthasintha momwe zimagwiritsidwira ntchito. Ndi mabatire, katunduyo sasintha ayi. Kuphatikiza apo, mabatire amatha kuchita zomwe zimawoneka ngati zosayerekezeka: kulemera pang'ono koma kukhala ndi mphamvu zowonjezera. Mukufuna umboni? Gulani paketi eyiti yama batri amchere a AA ndi paketi eyiti ya mabatire a AA lithiamu. Ma lithiamu ndi opepuka kwambiri komabe amakhala omalizira kwambiri. Chozizwitsa? Ayi, sayansi ya batri chabe, sayansi yofananira yomwe imathandizira batire ya lithiamu-ion ya SR / S kukwera njinga ya mapaundi 505, nyama yanga yonyamula komanso gulu lamagalimoto olemera kwa ola limodzi liwiro, kenako ndikubwezeretsanso mobwerezabwereza kubwereza njira. Mukazilingalira, zowona kuti Zero SR / S imagwira ntchito kuwonjezera pake pakali pano ndi chozizwitsa chamakono chamakono.

Nthawi Yopita!

Kodi moyo ndiulendo wanji ndi chiyani? Zosangalatsa. M'magulu otukuka otukuka, zambiri mwazomwe makolo athu akale omwe sali kutali kwambiri amafunikira pomenyera - chakudya, madzi, pogona, chithandizo chamankhwala - pakadali pano ndizofunikira tsiku lililonse tsiku lililonse. Anthu a mumzinda wa Metropolis sakuyang'ana kuti athane ndi njala ndikuwotcha ndi zikopa za nyama. Tsopano tili ndi ma jekete otukumula, ZoomCare, 7-Eleven nachos ndi mayunitsi abwino kwambiri a digito olumikizirana mwachangu komanso kupumula, osanenapo njinga zamagetsi zabwino (ndi magalimoto). Moyo ndikuchititsa manyazi chuma kwa anthu ambiri, ngakhale samvetsetsa kapena ayi. Ndizotopetsa kukhala mpainiya masiku ano, ndipo pomwe kuyenda kwanga panjinga zamagetsi kunali ndi nthawi zovuta, sizinali kanthu poyerekeza ndi zowawa zomwe ngwazi zenizeni zimafanana nazo Ted Simon kapena Bessie Stringfield, yemwe adawoneka ngozi, kusankhana mitundu komanso zoopsa zina mkati mwa nkhope ndikusinthasintha.

Komabe munjira yaying'ono, ndimamverera pang'ono mwa mzimu waupainiya momwe ndikukumana nawo ndi misewu yabata ya Oregon ndi Washington pa njinga yamoto yomwe kwenikweni imachokera nthawi yayitali, kuyambira nthawi yomwe ndimayenda m'mbali mwa nyanja tsiku limodzi pa velocity panjinga yamagetsi sipangakhale chowongolera, chifukwa chimakhala ndi ma 500-mile, imapanga 200hp, imabwereranso mphindi 5 ndipo imakhala yodalirika ngati nyundo. Zero's SR / S ndi njira zambiri mtsogolo muno. Unali mwayi woti ndikumane nawo, unanditenga ndikulimbikitsidwa, unkangopita ngati ma dickens ndikugwira ntchito molimbika monga momwe udapangidwira, ngakhale kupitirira pamwamba ndikudutsa maluso ake owonekera kwambiri pomwe zovuta zidayamba kukhala zoyipa. Zidandipeza komwe ndimafuna ndikufunako kupita ku mafashoni komanso zapamwamba, pambuyo pake ndidapeza nyumba yopanda zovuta kupatula zovuta za batri. Sindingathe kufunsa woposa pamenepo. Nthawi zina mofulumira, tisanamvetse, zidzatenga mphindi 5 kuti tigulitse njinga yamagetsi yomwe ingapeze ma 500 mamailosi osiyanasiyana, ndipo mosakayikira ndi kandalama kochepa poyerekeza ngakhale ndi mtengo wotsika wamafuta masiku ano. Mutha kuyembekezera tsikulo, komabe mungakhale mukusowa ukadaulo woyendetsa bwino pa Zero SR / S, zomwe ambiri okwera nthawi zambiri samachita ukatswiri. Zomwe ndingathe kuchita ndikutenga chiyembekezo ndikuzika kapangidwe ka batri kuti ndigwire maluso enieni a Zero SR / S, kuti ndikwaniritse mwachangu, chidziwitso changa cha ola zisanu ndi ziwiri chitha kukwaniritsidwa pang'ono pang'ono kuposa maola 15.
