Iingozi kunye neziyolo zokukhwela umgama omde kwiZero SR / S zombane weSithuthuthu

Kwiinkqubo zekhompyuter yedesktop, sebenzisa 'u-Command +' ukukhulisa inqaku kwimifanekiso emikhulu.

Umqondiso wesitalato funda Sibhozo Iikhilomitha ukuya kwi-Astoria njengoko bendiphelile ngaphambili. Isilinganisi sebhetri kwi-Zero SR / S yombane webhayisekile endandiqhele ukuqhuba ukukhankanya ndinayo ngokulula Ntandathu Iimayile ezahlukileyo ezishiyekileyo, kwaye itshaja ekufutshane yayisekugqityweni kokuphikisana kwezi mayile zisibhozo- kunye nebhulorho ende, ethe tye kuyo yonke indawo ehlala ikhubekile. Njengoko uEverett McGill ebeya kuthi, Ndandikwindawo exineneyo.

Ngaphezulu kwamashumi amathandathu eemayile ngaphambili, bendikhethe uhambo olukhawulezayo lokuthatha imifanekiso yeZero SR / S, kwaye izibalo zam ngelo xesha zibonakala ngathi ndingatshintsha ndizenzele isixeko esihle esingaselunxwemeni. I-Astoria, ebekwe kwincam yomntla-ntshona ye-Oregon indawo apho uMlambo omkhulu weColumbia udibana noLwandlekazi lwePasifiki olunamandla.

Ngoku, izibalo zam ezineziphene kunye nolunye ukhetho olubi lwalubuyile ukuze lundihlafune. Kwaye bekungafani nokuba bendinokuvele nditsale nje kwaye ndivuselele ibhayisekile ebengezelayo; Ngaphandle nje kokuba bekungekho zijaja zeSigaba II naphina xa kuvaliwe, bendilibele ukuhambisa itshaja yam ye-120-volt kunye nam, ethi ixhume kwivenkile yemihla ngemihla njenge-toaster. Ukucotha, nangona kunjalo kuyasebenza.

Ayibalulekanga kangako kuba kwakungekho mpucuko ininzi kunjalo, singasathethi ke ngeevenkile zombane ezingahleliwe. Nangona kunjalo njengoko bendiqengqa ngaphambili ubalo olunezinto ezinokubakho ngaphandle, ndizamile ukungalibali ukuba le yindlela ekwakukhunjulwa ngayo ulonwabo, luvavanyo nembandezelo. Ukuhamba ngendawo zonke izinto ezihamba ngamabomu kuthambekele ekuphelelweni kukukhumbula ixesha. Akukhange kubonakale ngathi kuya kuba njalo ngeli xesha. Ngaba ndingazifumana kufuneka ndityhale ibhayisekile kuyo yonke le bhulorho idlulileyo, intle kangaka izele ziindwendwe zesiza selori? Ndangcangcazela ndalahla isantya sam ukuya kwi-50mph.

Bendihlala kumlenze wesibini wokhenketho lwam, endiqale ekuqaleni kwentsasa ukuphendula umbuzo: Yintoni efunekayo, ngexabiso, ixesha, ucwangciso namandla, ukuhamba umgama omde uqhuba zombane ibhayisekile? I-Zero SR / S ngowona mshini mtsha ugqibelele kwaye ugqibelele eCarlifonia, umdlalo wezemidlalo ovulekileyo opheleleyo ohamba ngendlela ethe kratya ngetekhnoloji yakutshanje kunye namandla amakhulu, okwazi ukwenza amaxesha angama-0-60 anokutshisa ii-supercars ezininzi kunye nesantya esiphezulu. ngokufanelekileyo kwiinombolo zelayisensi-yakho yokulahleka. Umzi ojikelezayo, sisixhobo esigcwele ukugcwala kwezithuthi. Nangona kunjalo malunga nokuqhuba umgama? Emva kweeveki ezimbalwa ndityhutyha indawo yasePortland kwi-SR / S, ndacela iZero ukuze ndongeze ezinye iipanni kwi-SR / S yovavanyo, abazenza kunye necala eliphezulu (endigqibezele ukuphelisa). Ukongeza, bongeze indawo yokumisa embindini.

Uvavanyo lwam belulula: Ndingajonga indlela endiyithathileyo ukutyhubela iminyaka ndikhwela iibhayisekile, indlela endikhetha ukuyithiya igama elithi “Tillamook Loop,” eqala ePortland, eOregon. Indlela ilandela uMlambo i-Columbia emantla emva kwentshona ecaleni kweendlela ezibukekayo eziya e-Astoria, emva koko ziyehla ngaselunxwemeni ukuya eTillamook, eso sixeko saziwa ngegama laso ngeshizi. Ibizwa ngokuba "kude kube-uh-muck," Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, itshizi ikudidi lwehlabathi. Ukusuka apho, uFreeway 6, inyoka enama-two-laner, imisonto yehlathi elinamahlathi iVary kwakhona kwicala lasePortland. Gcwalisa (Googled) umgama: i-283 yeemayile. Kwibhayisekile ye-ICE yemihla ngemihla, amava athatha malunga neeyure ezintandathu, okanye ixesha elide xa uyeka ecaleni kwendlela oza kudlala ngayo i-Skee-Ball eSelwandle, ufumane itaffy yamanzi e-Cannon Seaside, gxuma iinzwane zakho kwi-surf kwi-Hug Inqanaba, okanye uthathe ukhenketho lweyunithi yokuvelisa kwiyunithi yokuvelisa itshizi (lixabise ngokupheleleyo - itshizi yasimahla!). Ezi ziisampulu ezincinci kuninzi, ezininzi Ixabiso leendawo limisa ecaleni kwendlela. Nangona kunjalo ingathatha ixesha elingakanani ukuqhuba ibhayisekile yombane, kunye nezihlandlo zayo ezinde zokutshaja?

FUNDA OKUNGAKUMBI NGAMABOMIUphengululo lweNdlela yeXesha elide: I-Zero's SR / S yombane Isithuthuthu iphakamisa iBar kwakhonaBy NguBill Roberson

Ndisebenzise i-PlugShare app ukucwangcisa indlela yam kunye nomlenze wokuqala wohambo oludityaniswe ngamanani. Ndemka ePortland ngentsimbi yesi-8 kusasa ndalandela u-Freeway 30 ukuya ku-Lewis no-Clark Bridge oneminyaka engama-90 owela uMlambo iColumbia kwaye uqhagamshela i-Oregon neWashington, ndafika e-Decrease Columbia School eLongview, Washington, iimayile ezingama-62 ukude, indawo leyo Ndibeke ipeyinti yeCandelo II 6kW kwitshaja yokupaka iimoto. Ngokwesiqhelo, ikholeji ibinokuba kwiseshoni, nangona kunjalo ikhampasi yayithule njengoko abafundi beekholeji belufezekisa uphando lwabo endlini ngenxa yesifo se-coronavirus. I-Zero nangona kunjalo yayisondele kwi-20% yeendleko njengoko ndicofa indawo yokudibanisa. Ndilihambise ixesha lokuhamba ikhampasi ebhalwe kakuhle kwaye ithule, ekugqibeleni ndaphela kwivenkile yesendwitshi yangaphantsi ukuze ndibeke amalungiselelo entsalela yohambo. Ixesha lokuhlawula kwi-100%? Iyure enye, imizuzu eli-10. Xabiso: Simahla. Isandwich? $ 6, kunye nerhafu (kunye nengcambu ibhiya).

Ukuhlawulwa ngokupheleleyo, isandwich kunye neengcambu, ndalatha i-SR / S ukuya kuFreeway 4, indawo entle yetreyini enemigca emibini ejikeleza uMlambo iColumbia kwicala loLwandlekazi iPacific, indawo edibana noFreeway wonxweme u-101. umgama weemayile ezingama-73 kwibhetri ye-SR / S, kwaye ndibeke ibhayisekile kwimowudi ye-Eco kwaye nditshixe ngaphakathi kuhambo lokuhamba ngenqanawa kwiimayile ezingama-55 ngeyure, ezingazange zigqibe ixesha elide kuba amagophe aqala ukubuya ngokukhawuleza, anciphisa Velocity eqhelekileyo kunye nokufuna ulawulo oluchanekileyo lomntu. Uhola wendlela ngamanye amaxesha uphawulwe ngeedolophu ezincinci ezinje Skamokawa, indawo endiyicimileyo ukuze ndiphume ngokukhawuleza ukuya kwi-hangout yangaphambili, Ngethamsanqa, indawo abanye abantu kunye nam bendihlala ndisiya kuyo ukuze ndenze ixesha elithile kwaye ezimbalwa zeyona disc inkulu kule ndawo- mhlawumbi emhlabeni. Isisisombululo esibi.

Bendiqhele ukwenza eyona hypermiling yam inkulu ukuyenza i-Astoria, nangona kunjalo iFortunate Mud detour indixabise ngexabiso leemayile ezili-10 zokuhluka, ngaphezulu kokuqaphela ngexesha, kwaye ngoku bendikade ndigcwele ngelixa ndibukele isidanga sebhetri esitshiza ngombala omfusa kuba iwele phantsi kweepc ezilishumi, emva koko zayi-9, emva koko zisibhozo, zinemayile ezintandathu kuphela ezahlukileyo. I-Astoria, kunye netshaja elandelayo, yayilele iikhilomitha ezisibhozo- kunye nebhulorho enkulu enkulu - ukude. Ndijikeleze i-nook ndaya ezantsi ekwehleni kancinci kwaye umlomo woMlambo i-Columbia uvulwe kuqala kunam, umnyango oya I-Astoria-Megler Bridge ngaphakathi komgama, ukubethwa ngumoya, okucekethekileyo kweemayile ezine zokuwela ezinyuka ezingama-200 ft ngaphezulu kweColumbia River kweyona ndlela ikufutshane eya e-Astoria- kwaye yayikude kangangeemayile ezintathu. Imitha yebhetri icofe yaya kwi-5 pc ndiyeke isantya sam ukuya kwi-45mph.

I-Zero SR / S ngokuyintloko iyimodeli etyibilikisiweyo kunye ne-Zero's SR / F mannequin, kwaye bendisazi ukusukela ngexesha lam no-F ukuba ibhayisekile ayimisi ndawo xa ibhetri ibetha zero. Ifana kakhulu nebhayisekile endala ehamba ngegesi, ine "reserve" yamandla enokuqhubeka ukuqhubela phambili umatshini, nangona kuthotyelwe isantya. Nangona kunjalo ngendlela inde? Uvavanyo lwam ekusebenziseni i-SR / F ukuya kwi-zero (ngelixa kufutshane kakhulu nendlu) kubonakala ngathi ubuncinci beemayile ezimbalwa ezishiyekileyo ngaphakathi kwetanki emva kokubetha i-0%. Ndilahle i-SR / S ukuya kwi-30mph, ndasebenza izibane ezinobungozi ndaza ndakhwela ecaleni kwegxalaba xa ndisiya kungena kwibhulorho, ngamanye amaxesha ndibethwa liloli yelog, iveni okanye iRV njengoko behamba nge-55 okanye ngaphezulu. Ukutyibilika kwibhulorho, ibhetri ifunda zero ngokuhluka ngokungekho kwi-zero. Nangona kunjalo, i-SR / S yathengiswa nge-30mph, nangona kunjalo ukunyuka kwincopho ye-200 yeenyawo zebhulorho yayisongelwe ngaphambili kunam, kwaye bendinawo amathandabuzo okuba kukho ii-elektronon ezaneleyo ezibetha umjikelo oqulethwe kwipakethi yebhetri ukuze inyuke , Ndibona ukuba ibhayisekile inesisindo esimalunga ne-530 kilos kunye neepanniers, ndongeze enye ye-230 okanye enye kwaye bendineedigicam gear ebhodini- kunye nesandwich. Elo bhetri lingenamntu lifuneka lityhale kufutshane neekhilogram ezingama-800 linyuke induli kodwa lifutshane. Ndiqale ukugaya i-enamel yam kuba ukunyuka kuqale.

Ibhulorho eneminyaka engama-54 inokuba yinde kakhulu kodwa ukongeza incinci kakhulu ngaphandle kwegxalaba lezithuthi, kwaye ukuchitha onke amandla kumlenze wokunyuka kungandibeka kwindawo eyingozi yokuma kubakhenkethi besiza, uninzi lwalo lwenziwe phezulu kweesemis, iiRVs kunye nee-pickups. Nangona kunjalo i-SR / S inyukile, amanani esantya esantya ethoba kancinci ngenxa yokuba isithuba sesithuba sifike apha sisondele. Kunye neendwendwe zesiza ezifumba emva kwam kunye nepopu enkulu ngomsindo ndizama ukuhamba, ndabeka esona sithuba siphezulu kwi-25mph, ukunciphisa iilekese zihamba ngemithambo yam kuba i-SR / S ithathe isantya-kunye namandla ohlaziyo-njengoko mna yaqengqeleka ishunqulelo kodwa yehla yeAstoria. Ngee zeros nangona kunjalo ndibonisa kwiiyeyisi zeZero, ndacothoza kwakhona ezitalatweni ndisiya kwisikhululo sokutshaja, ngethamsanqa ndibekwe kufutshane nebhulorho. Amashumi amahlanu e-ft kwitshaja, imoto icinyiwe kwaye "ibhetri iphelile" yavela kumboniso weLCD. Ndityhale i-SR / S isibini esidlulileyo se-ft kwitshaja kwaye ndacofa indawo yokudibanisa. Ndingatsho ngesixa esikhulu ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba i-2020 Zero SR / S enebhetri ye-14.4kWh, ubukhulu becala i-panniers egcweleyo kunye nomkhweli omkhulu ekhwele ngokuqinisekileyo uya kugqibezela ngeemayile ezingama-88.7 zokuhamba ngoohola bendlela kwi-55mph (kwaye ezimbalwa kwi-30mph ngexabiso elinye. Kwakungo-2: 45 emva kwemini, kwaye uhambo lwam lwaluphambili kwinqanaba eliphakathi.

Ukuthatha ibhetri kungabinamsebenzi kuba ubuchule bangaphakathi beZero buya kuyenza ukuba ifumane (kwaye ayiyonto ilungileyo ukuba ibhetri iyenze loo nto, ikucinge) ucofe ikhulu leendleko zepc ukusuka kwiNqanaba II 6kWh node ithathe iiyure ezimbini kwaye Imizuzu eli-2, ixesha endilihambise ngeenxa zonke edolophini ebukekayo nenomtsalane eAstoria, iivenkile kunye neendawo zokutyela bezisokola ukuhlala kude kuthathwe kunye neminikelo ngexesha lokutshixeka kwe-coronavirus. Abanye abayenzi loo nto, njengoko izikhombisi zoqeshiso zazixhonywe kwiifestile zasekhaya ezimbalwa. Idolophu ineebhentshi ezithile ezilungiselela kufutshane netshaja kwaye ndisebenzise i-smartphone yam okwethutyana ngelixa iindleko zifezekisiwe. Ixabiso? Intlawulo ethe tyaba ye- $ 16.

Umlenze wesiThathu, amava amafutshane eTillamook, alala phambili. Kwakungemva kwentsimbi yesi-5 emva kokuba ndijikile into ebalulekileyo. Kwakhona esitratweni, nditshintshe i-Zero ukusuka kwimowudi ye-Eco ndaya kwi-Sport R, indlela endiyenzileyo endiyenzileyo eyayiyimpinda yemowudi yezemidlalo yamandla apheleleyo eyakhelweyo nangona kunjalo i-regen yajika kangange-95 pc, eyanika i-SR / S imikhwa yokuncipha kwi-throttle evaliweyo kakhulu njengebhayisekile yam yabucala, iHonda CBR1100XX Tremendous Blackbird. Kwaye ngelixa i-SR / S ingenawo umda osisidenge weBlackbird, ingaphezulu kokuthelekiswa nokukhawulezisa okungalunganga, kuba i-motor ye-140 yeepawundi ye-torque rocket yayidlulileyo kwi-60 yeemayile ngeyure ngaphakathi kwesithuba sokungena ngaphakathi .

Kukhutshiwe, i-SR / S yinto ekroliweyo ekoneni, nokuba iimeko zangasemva ze-SHAD zibandakanya ubunzima ngasemva. Nangona kunjalo ngaphandle kokutsala i-derrière yam, iipanishi, izixhobo ze-digicam, izixhobo zemvula, iikawusi ezomileyo kunye nokubonelela ngamaqebengwana, i-SR / S ityhwatyhwe nge-nook emva kwe-nook ngozinzo oluncomekayo, ukugudileyo okuhle kunye nokuhamba kwesantya njengoko bendiyibethile indlela yam i-curvaceous kunye nokuthelekiswa okuvulekileyo kweFreeway 101 kwicala laseTillamook, iikhilomitha ezingama-65 kude. Ngeendawo zeenkampu zase-Oregon, iindawo zabakhenkethi kunye neenkampani ezininzi ezivaliweyo ngenxa yobhubhane, uhola wendlela ojijekileyo ubukhulu becala ukhululwe kubakhenkethi besiza, ndaye ndanikezela ngento encinci ukuba yayinokukhululeka kuba i-SR / S 'nzulu ngokufanelekileyo ye-torque yandijongela ngaphaya kwee-RVs ezimbalwa , ukuthathwa kwezikhephe kunye neebhayisikile ezahlukeneyo (gcina gaggle yabakhweli bezemidlalo) besenza indlela yabo emazantsi. Ndagqiba ndangena Amakhwenkwe alahlekileyo afanelekileyo Ulwandle ukuze kukhutshwe ukutya okukhawulezileyo emva koko kwakhona kuLwandle oluLungileyo lweCannon, ngenxa yoko, kufanelekile, kwaye ukubonelela kwam ngetyuwa eyaziwayo edolophini endlini bekusebenza ngendlela eyingozi.

Ndiphinde ndaphinda, ndadubula i-101 ndaya eTillamook, nangona kunjalo iyure yokugqibela (kunye nobhubhane) kwakuthetha ukuba iminyango yeyunithi eyaziwayo yokuvelisa itshizi ivaliwe kuluntu ngokubanzi kwaye indawo yokupaka iimoto yayithintelwe, eyakrweca enye ye Izinto ezi-4 zokutshaja kwirekhodi yam (ngokuqinisekileyo, ndinokuba ndigqithile kuthintelo, nangona kunjalo….). Le tshaja ilandelayo edolophini yayihlalwa yiChevy Bolt, kodwa okwesihlandlo sesithathu yayiyinto entle kwaye ndafumanisa itshaja engenabantu kwiBlue Heron French Cheese Firm, indawo ebukekayo yabakhenkethi eFreeway 101 ehlawulwe yintengiso yobisi emangalisayo Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo enomtsalane, iitrektara zakudala kunye nezinye iipikoko ezimnandi eziye zabhadula kumabala agcinwe ngokucocekileyo. Ukukhangela indawo ekuza kuhlawulelwa kuyo kwitshaja, umqondiso omncinci utyhile ukuba akukabikho kwiintsuku zokuqala zombane wokutshaja: Ukutshaja kwakusimahla, kunye neTeslas kwindawo engabamelwane. Yonwabele ngelixa ihlala, i-EV-yokuqhuba ukuqhuba.

Nge-SR / S ngokucotha ukufaka amandla ombane kunye nokukhanya kwemini, ndahamba ecaleni kweFreeway 101 ndisolula, ndithatha imifanekiso kuba isibhakabhaka sajika imibala. Iindwendwe zaziphantse zingabikho kuba isixeko esincinci sasibhinca amaqhosha ngobusuku obupholileyo bangoLwesihlanu; akukho ndawo zokutya okanye ii-nightclub zivulekile nangona kunjalo, ekugqibeleni, ukungxola kokuqalisa kwakhona bekusemoyeni. I-Oregon yayilawule uqhambuko ngokufanelekileyo, ngokukhawuleza ukukhawuleza ukuvala iikholeji kunye neenkampani ngo-Matshi umbuzo omncinci wakhonza ukubandakanya ukugula. Nangona kunjalo, ngalo mbhalo, ngaphezulu kwe-160 yabantu babhubhe kwi-COVID-19 ngaphakathi kurhulumente phantse i-5,000 ingcolisiwe. Amanani asezantsi, mhlawumbi, nangona kunjalo iindlela ezingenanto, iivenkile ezivaliweyo kunye nokungabikho ngokupheleleyo kwabantu kwiindawo zokumisa iiholide zihlala zixinene nezihlwele phakathi kuJuni ezenzelwe isikhumbuzo esothusayo sokuba loluphi uhlobo lwesiphumo sokugqibela esinokwenzeka phantsi kwelona tyala ubhubhane wezifo. Izihlwele ziya kubuya, ngexesha. Isenokuba-okanye isenokuba-mbi kakhulu ukuba asihlali siphaphile.

Iyure kunye nemizuzu engama-38 emva kokufika eTillamook, itshaja icofiwe ndaza ndatyibilikisa ibhedi yemozulu ebandayo, ndanxiba intamo eshushu ndaza ndemba iiglavu zam zasebusika ngaphandle kwezipani zangasemva. Kwakungaphezulu kwamanqanaba angama-60, nangona kunjalo bendisazi ukuba lixesha nje elifutshane. Bendonwabile ngomculo kwaye ndenza amava amaninzi ngenxa yokumangalisa ICardo Packtalk Bold Inkqubo ndiyibeke kwi I-AGV yeMidlalo yeModeli Isigcina-ntloko, kodwa ngoku ndatyibilika kwii-earplugs ukuze ndithule ingxolo yomoya wendlu yomlenze wokugqibela ndacima iingoma. Kwakungo-9: 15 emva kwemini emva kokuba ndiphume kwiBlue Heron lot ndaza ndaqengqeleka kuFreeway 6 kwicala lasePortland. Itshaja ekufutshane yayikumgama omalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-60 kude neeBhanki, kodwa ayisiyiyo le nto bendinokucula "ndigcine iqabaka" kum njengoko bendishiya iTillamook kwaye uhola wendlela unciphile waya kwiindlela ezi-2 ezincinci kuba iqale ukunyukela kwiNxweme Vary.

Njenge ntatheli yesikhululo sikamabonakude esasiselumelwaneni kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, ndibhale amabali amaninzi malunga nengozi kwi “the Six” njengoko isaziwa kwingingqi, inyoka, ukujija kunye nendlela engalinganiyo edibanisa unxweme ukuya ngaphakathi e-Oregon. Kuyo yonke loo mini, kuyisimangaliso esibonakalayo kunye nomkhweli wezemidlalo. Ngexesha lasebusuku, kukujija, ukujija okumnyama kwesitrato indawo yexhama, ielk, umqhubi onxilileyo, imoto eyaphukileyo okanye ilitye elinokuthi liwele kule nook ilandelayo, kwaye zininzi, zineekona ezininzi. Ndibeke ulawulo lwe-SR / S ukuya ku-50 (isithintelo sesantya ngu-55) kuba ukunyuka kweentaba kwaqala, kwaye njengoko bendikade ndicinga ngendlela enye le nxalenye yamava inokuba yeyenye eyingozi ukuba yaqala ukunetha, yaqalisa ukunetha. Nditshintshe i-Zero ukuya kwiMowudi yemvula, ethe yanyusa ulawulo lokutsala kunye nobuntununtunu be-ABS ngelixa kuthothisa amandla okuphuma, nangona isantya sohola wendlela sahlala kwitephu. Bendihlala ndiphuma kwimvula yokuhlamba imizuzu kamva kwaye kwakhona kwipavumente eyomileyo, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo yayisisikhumbuzo sokuba ngoku, indlela ejijekileyo inokuba manzi kulo naliphi na inqanaba kwaye nemvula eyongezelelweyo yokunciphisa umbono inokuba iza.

Ndingene ebumnyameni i-SR / S yandithwala, izibane zamehlo eziqaqambileyo ze-LED ezenza ukukhanya kwelanga okuqaqambileyo kwaye kubanzi kwelanga esitratweni, kunye nokukhanya - ukongeza iiwele ze-LED-ukukhanyisa iindawo ezishinyeneyo zamatyholo aphakamileyo omthi owenze uhola wendlela kunye nebala isibhakabhaka. Akukho nkonzo yeseli kuFreeway 6 omninzi kuba usika imijelo enzulu kunye nemisonto ngamahlathi amade, ke ukungahambi kakuhle okanye ukungahambi kakuhle kunokuba nezohlwayo ezibulalayo ngenxa yokuba kungekho mntu wazi ukuba ukhubazekile, ncedisa awuzukuza . Ukugoba i-nook enye ngqo kwangoko, umgca wezibane eziphambili-eziphambili endizibonileyo-bezisiza ngendlela engeyiyo. Ngequbuliso, ngelixa kungekho ndlela ikude, imoto ekhokelayo ijikeleze yonke indlela yam-yanyamalala. Eyesibini neyesithathu zenze ngokufanayo njengoko ndicothisile ngokukhawuleza. Umqhubi wokugqibela wama, waqhwanyaza, wabengezelisa izibane zabo ngenxa yobukho bam. Ndangena kwangoko nge-3mph kwaye ndaqaphela ukuba yayingumgodlo weeJeeps unyuka isitrato sokugawula; abahlali baphuma ukuze bonwabe ngeLwesihlanu ebusuku. Ukuqhutywa kweJeep yokugqibela kwaxhoma uphondo njengoko ndandihamba emva kwayo ndiyidubulile ndaya esitratweni ukuze ndibuyele kwiqela, kwaye uhola wendlela wagutyungelwa bubumnyama be-inky kwangoko nje. Khange ndiqaphele nenye imoto emva kwam ngaphandle kwesantya sam esithe chu.

Ukubamba okungafaniyo kunophawu lokuphakama kweenyawo ezili-1,500, amaqondo obushushu afunde amanqanaba angama-42 kwiZero kukukhanya okuqaqambe kakhulu kwe-cockpit. Uhola wendlela umise ezantsi, ipavumente ihlala ipakishwe ngokulungiswa okungathandekiyo, idiphu kunye nokuqhekeka okushiyekileyo ukusukela xa uninzi lwamacandelo alo ahlanjwa ngalo lonke ixesha lemvula enkulu ngo-1996 nakwiminyaka elandelayo. Nangona kunjalo ukumiswa kwe-SR / S okuphumeleleyo eShowa kufakele izitenxo kwindlela yabahambi ngokulula kwaye ndifuna ukuthi, ithathele ingqalelo esinye sezihlalo zebhayisekile ezinde kakhulu ndonwabe kubuchwephesha. Bendihlala ndingonwabanga. Nokuba zithini iiglavu zasebusika kwezemidlalo, iintende zam ziye zagodola, ngoku ngoku bendikhe ndisehla ekwehleni kokuhamba, ndiqalise iihandrips ezishushu ezafika apha kunye nemodeli yePremiyamu ye-SR / S. Ngokukhawuleza, amanani am ahlanjwe ngobushushu kwaye njengoko bendigcina ndisenzeka phezulu, iqondo lobushushu elingaphakathi liqale ukunyuka. Kwaqala ukuna, kwakhona.

Kwakhona kwindawo ephezulu, idigri yebhetri yayifundwa phakathi kwe-60s, kwaye ngaphezulu kohambo, bendinomndilili ophantsi kunekhilomitha enye kwinqanaba leendleko zebhetri. Ukurola ezantsi kweFreeway 6, i-SR / S yatshintsha phakathi konxweme, ukuvuselelwa ngokutsha, kunye namandla amancinci njengoko amandla omxhuzulane enza umsebenzi omninzi. Miles kamva, njengoko inyanga egcweleyo yaphakama ngokuzahlula amafu kunye nokukhanya okumnyama kwezibane zedolophu enkulu yasePortland zaqala ukukhazimla, uFreeway 6 wakhutshelwa ngaphandle kwiifama ezijikelezayo zeWillamette Valley. Isilinganisi sebhetri sahlala kwii-60s ezisezantsi. Ndizimisele ukuyeka kwiBhanki ukuvala ngokutsha, kodwa ngoku, ngethamsanqa bekungafuneki.

Le tshaja ilandelayo yayisezantsi nje kwesitalato e-Hillsboro e-Oregon's Silicon Forest, kufutshane nendawo u-Freeway 6 edityaniswe no-Freeway 26, eyokuqala (nangona kunjalo iyadika) i-hyperlink phakathi kwe-Portland kunye nomantla we-Oregon. Ukuza kwisithuba se-Hillsboro, ibhetri yayifunda ngaphakathi kwi-40s kwaye eyahlukileyo yayixhonywe kwiimayile ezingama-38, oko kwakuthetha ukuba kukho ithuba lokuba ndiyenze indlu ngaphandle kokumisa. Ukuba uqikelelo lwam luye lwangumfutshane, ibingeyonto inkulu kangako ukusukela ngoku, bekukho iitshaja ezibonakala ngathi ziphantse zahluka ngebhloko, ngokwePlagiShare app. Ke ndiye ndacinezela phambili, ndinyuka uSyvan Hill e-60mph emva koko ndaqengqeleka ndisiya ezantsi edolophini ePortland ukuba ndikhethe i-Interstate 405, emva koko kwaqhushumba kuyo yonke iMarquam Bridge ejonge ePortland, kwaye ekugqibeleni yenyuka i-Interstate 84 kwicandelo laseMazantsi mpuma edolophini. Ndibiza igama lendlu.

Ukuqengqeleka kwi-ramp yokuphuma ukuphuma kwi-I-84, ulawulo lokuhamba ngenqanawa ngokukhawuleza luyekisa lodwa ngenxa yokuba ibhetri icofe ukuya ezantsi kwi-4 pc, ngeemayile ezimbini ezahlukeneyo ezahlukileyo. Iya kwanela. Ndiva umgama omfutshane ukuya kwindlu ngedolophu kuba isibonisi esahlukileyo sityibilika ukuya kwi-zero, kwaye singene kwindlela yokuhamba enomatshini omnye obonisa kwigeji yebhetri. Ngu-11: 11 ngokuhlwa kwaye i-tripmeter ifunda iikhilomitha ezingama-87 ngokuchanekileyo. Ngokwe-Zero ye-GPS esekwe kumava okujonga umsebenzi, uhambo luye lwangama-296 eekhilomitha ngokupheleleyo.

Yintoni Nantoni Na

Kungaphikiswa ukuba iibhayisekile zombane azizukulungela uxanduva lokhenketho olukude. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndinempikiswano, ndiyavuma, ngakumbi xa kuthelekiswa nokuthuthuzela kweebhayisikile ezinikwe amandla yigesi. Nangona ithathiwe ngokwayo, kuyacaca ukuba iyenzeka, inokwenzeka ngokupheleleyo, ingxaki enokuthi ihlangane. Kuya kufuneka ulungelelanise izicwangciso kunye nolindelo lwakho kwimida yangoku yento ebalulekileyo echaphazelekayo, ngakumbi ukusebenza ngokufanelekileyo kwebhetri. Yonke enye into eqhelekileyo yebhayisekile okhenketho kwezemidlalo yayiyeyangoku kwaye inikwa ingxelo ngeZero SR / S: isihlalo esicocekileyo, ulawulo lweenqanawa, ukuboniswa kwe-bug, ukubamba okuvuthayo, umthwalo omkhulu, inkqubo yocwangciso lohambo, izikhululo ezimbalwa "zokubasa" kunye kanjanlo nakanjalo. It unako yenziwe, ilungile ngoku, kwaye i-SR / S ikhawuleze ngokukhawuleza kwaye icocekile-kuyonwabisa ukuyiva yonke loo mini. Umahluko ophambili yinxalenye yolo suku ichithwe ukuyongeza. Kancinci.

Okwangoku, injalo nje. Kungekudala okanye kamva, ngokungathandabuzekiyo ngaphambi kokuba silindele, imiba iya kwahluka ngokupheleleyo. Ubuchule bebhetri yefashoni busebusaneni ngoku, kwaye uhlengahlengiso olukhulu lusondele. Kwiminyaka ezayo ukubuya, loo mayela angama-87 ohola wendlela ayahluka abe ziikhilomitha ezili-187, emva koko ibe ngama-287 emva koko ibe ngama-500 eemayile njalo njalo. Ngexesha elifanayo, amaxesha okutshaja aya kuqhubeka ukwehla njengoko iindlela zokutshaja kunye neefomathi zebhetri zikhula kwaye zikhula. Ngexesha, ukuyitshaja ngokutsha ibhayisekile yombane (okanye eyomatshini) kuya kuthatha imizuzu, hayi iyure okanye ngaphezulu. Unombuzo omncinci: izakwenzeka. Ambalwa amashishini amakhulu eMhlabeni, kwicandelo ngalinye leemoto kunye neetekhnoloji, ayalahla Iibhiliyoni kwibhetri ye-R & D, kwaye unokuthembela kwezi nzame zokuthwala isiqhamo ngaphakathi kwexesha elisondeleyo. Ukuqhekeka kuyakwenzeka, mhlawumbi eyona iphambili, amandla endawo aya kuphinda-phinda kathathu okanye ongezelelweyo kwisithuba esifanayo sokugcina, ukwenza ugcino lwamandla oluhlala lubizwa mninzi kwamandla.

Ukuxinana kwamandla kwezibaso ezilulwelo kumalunga nokubekwa kwilitye (uxolo); ukuba unqwenela ukuya phambili, kuya kufuneka uphathe ngaphezulu, enika ubunzima, ethi ke itshintshe njengoko isetyenziswa. Ngeebhetri, umthwalo awunakulungiswa. Ukongeza, iibhetri zihlala zenza ezibonakala zingenakucingwa: ubunzima obungaphantsi kakhulu kodwa zigcina amandla ongezelelweyo. Ufuna ubungqina? Thenga iipakethi ezisibhozo zeebhetri ze-alkaline ze-AA kunye nepakethe ezisibhozo zeebhetri ze-lithium ze-AA. Ii-lithium zikhaphukhaphu kodwa ke zihlala ixesha elide. Ngummangaliso? Hayi, inzululwazi yebhetri, isayensi efanayo eyenza ukuba ibhetri ye-SR / S ye-lithium-ion ihambe ngebhayisikile yeepawundi ezingama-505, isidumbu sam esimangalisayo kunye neqela lezixhobo ezinzima ixesha elingaphezulu kweyure kwisantya, emva koko uphinde uphinde uphinde uphinde ukuphinda indlela. Xa uyijonga, inyani yokuba iZero SR / S isebenza ukongeza kuyo iyasebenza kufanelekile ngoku ngummangaliso wetekhnoloji yanamhlanje.

Ixesha Lokuhamba!

Yintoni ubomi ngaphandle kohambo? Iyadika ngokufanelekileyo. Kuluntu oluqhelekileyo oluhambele phambili kwezorhwebo, uninzi lwemiba yookhokho bethu ekungekho kude kangako ukuba bayayilwela -ukutya, amanzi, indawo yokuhlala, ukhathalelo lonyango-okwangoku zizinto ezifunekayo kubomi bemihla ngemihla. Abantu beMetropolis abaphumi ngaphandle befuna ukuphelisa indlala kwaye babambe ubushushu ngezikhumba zezilwanyana. Ngoku sineebhatyi ezikhukhumezayo, iZoomCare, i-7-Eleven nachos kunye neeyunithi ezintle zedijithali zonxibelelwano olukhawulezileyo kunye nokuzonwabisa, singasathethi ke ngeebhayisekile zombane ezimangalisayo (kunye nezithuthi). Ubomi kukuthotywa kobutyebi kubantu abaninzi, nokuba bayabuqonda okanye ababuqondi. Kuyadinisa ukuba nguvulindlela kule mihla, kwaye ngelixa uhambo lwam lokubaleka ngebhayisikile yombane lwalunexesha elithile elinzima, khange ibeyinto xa kuthelekiswa nobunzima obunyamezelwe ngamagorha anje UTed Simon okanye uBessie Stringfield, obonakala ngathi ingozi, ubuhlanga obunzulu kunye nezinye iingozi ngaphakathi kobuso kwaye wajika umcephe nokuba kunjalo.

Nangona kunjalo ngenye indlela encinci, ndaziva ndincinci komoya wobuvulindlela kumava am ngeendlela ezipholileyo zaseOregon naseWashington ngesithuthuthu ikakhulu esivela kwixesha elide, ukusukela kwixesha lokwenza ilokhwe yam yaselunxwemeni ngemini velocity kwibhayisikile yombane ayizukubangqondo, ngenxa yoko ine-500-mile eyahluka, yenza i-200hp, iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde iphinde ibe nesando. I-SR / S yeZero zininzi iindlela zokufikelela kwikamva ngoku. Kwakuyi-hoot yokufumana amava, yandithwala indithuthuzela, yahamba nje ngee-dickens kwaye yasebenza ngokuchanekileyo njengoko yenzelwe, yaya ngaphezulu nangaphaya kwezona zakhono zayo zibonakalayo xa imiba ifumene kakubi. Yandifumana kakuhle apho ndandi nqwenela khona kwaye ndifuna ukuya kwifashoni kunye nokunethezeka, emva koko endifumanele indlu ngaphandle kwemibandela yebhetri. Andikwazi ukucela okukhulu kunoko. Ngamaxesha athile ngokukhawuleza, ngaphambi kokuba ngokungathandabuzekiyo siqonde, kuyakuthatha imizuzu emi-5 ukubiza ibhayisekile yombane eya kuthi ifumane i-5 yeemayile zokwahluka, kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo ngemali encinci xa kuthelekiswa naxa kubiza amaxabiso aphantsi ngeli xesha. Unokulindela loo mhla, nangona kunjalo uya kusilela kubuchule bokuqhuba obulungileyo kwi-Zero SR / S, izinto ezithandwayo uninzi lwabakhweli abangafikeleli kubungcali. Ekuphela kwento endinokuyenza lithemba kunye nengcambu yoyilo lwebhetri ukubamba ubuninzi bezakhono eziyinyani ze-Zero SR / S, ukuze zikhawuleze ngokwaneleyo, amava am esiqhelo esixhenxe eeyure anokufezekiswa kancinci kwiiyure ezili-500.
