Ama-Perils kanye Nenjabulo Yokugibela Ibanga Elide Kulesi Sithuthuthu Sikagesi seZero SR / S

Kumasistimu wekhompuyutha yedeskithophu, sebenzisa 'Command +' ukukhulisa i-athikili yezithombe ezinkulu.

Isiginali yomgwaqo funda eziyisishiyagalombili amamayela ukuya e-Astoria njengoba ngifaka ku-zip kwangaphambilini. Igeji yebhethri ebhayisikilini kagesi iZero SR / S ebengijwayele ukuyishayela kukhulunywe ngayo ukuthi bengimane ngavela nje ayisithupha amamayela okuhlukahluka okusele, futhi ishaja esiseduzane yayisekuqedeni okuphambene kwalawa makhilomitha ayisishiyagalombili - kanye nebhuloho elide kakhulu, elizacile kulo lonke uhlobo lomzimba lwamanzi oloniwe. Njengoba u-Everett McGill angasho, Ngangisendaweni eqinile.

Ngaphezulu kwamamayela angamashumi ayisithupha ngaphambili, ngangikhethe uhambo olusheshayo lokuthatha izithombe ze-Zero SR / S, futhi izibalo zami ngaleso sikhathi zabonakala zikhomba ukuthi kungenzeka ngibe nokwehluka ukuzenzela edolobheni elihle elisogwini I-Astoria, ebekakwe onqenqemeni olusenyakatho-ntshonalanga ye-Oregon lapho uMfula omkhulu waseColumbia uhlangana noLwandlekazi iPacific olunamandla.

Manje, izibalo zami ezingaphelele nokunye ukukhetha okungalungile bekubuye kungihlafuna kancane. Futhi bekungafani nokuthi ngingavele ngidonsele phezu bese ngishaja kabusha ibhayisikili elikhazimulayo eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka; bekungekho lapho bekungekho khona amashaja eSigaba II noma kuphi lapho kuvalwe khona, bengibuye ngikhohlwe ukudlulisa nami ishaja ye-120-volt Stage I nami, exhuma esitolo sansuku zonke njenge-toaster. Ukuhamba kancane, noma kunjalo kuyasebenza.

Akukhathalekile empeleni ngoba bekungekho mpucuko eningi nxazonke, ingasaphathwa eyezitolo zikagesi ezingahleliwe. Kodwa-ke ngenkathi ngigingqa inani langaphambilini labebephume namabhogi okungenzeka ukuthi abenendawo yokuphuma yangaphandle, ngazama ukungakhohlwa ukuthi lena yindlela obekukhunjulwa ngayo ama-adventures, ngokulingwa nangosizi. Uhambo lwendawo zonke izinto zihamba njengamabomu luthambekele ekushabalaleni ekukhumbuleni ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Bekungabonakali ukuthi kuzoba njalo kulokhu. Ngingazithola sengidudula ibhayisikili kulo lonke ibhuloho elihamba isikhathi eside nelincane eligcwele izivakashi zamaloli? Ngathuthumela futhi ngilahla isivinini sami ku-50mph.

Bengijwayele ukuba semlenzeni wesibili wohambo lwami, engiwuqale ekuseni kakhulu ukuphendula umbuzo: Yini edingekayo, ngenani lentengo, isikhathi, ukuhlela namandla, ukuhamba ibanga elide ushayela kagesi ibhayisikili? I-Zero SR / S ingumshini omusha sha futhi ohamba phambili wefemu laseCalifornia, intaba yemidlalo evulekile yomgwaqo yesimanje, egcwele izintaba ezishisa ngamandla ngobuchwepheshe bamuva namandla amakhulu, ekwazi ukwenza izikhathi ezi-0-60 ezingashisa ama-supercars amaningi kanye ne-velocity ephezulu kahle izinombolo zokulahlekelwa ilayisense yakho. Idolobha elizungezayo, yisikhali sokuqopha igazi eligcwele igazi. Kodwa-ke kuthiwani ngokushayela ibanga? Ngemuva kwamasonto ambalwa wokungena esikhaleni sePortland ku-SR / S, ngicele uZero ukuze ngengeze amanye ama-panniers ku-SR / S kulolu cwaningo, abakwenze kanye necala eliphakeme (engigcine ngiliqeda). Ngokwengeziwe bangeze i-centerstand.

Ukuzama kwami ​​kwakulula: Ngingabona umzila engiwuthathe kaningi phakathi neminyaka emabhayisikili aphehlwa ugesi, umzila engikhetha ukuwuqamba igama elithi “Tillamook Loop,” oqala ePortland, e-Oregon. Lo mzila ulandela uMfula iColumbia ngasenyakatho ngemuva kwawo uye ngasentshonalanga eceleni kwemigwaqo emikhulu ebheke e-Astoria, bese wehla ugu uye eTillamook, lelo dolobha lenziwa laziwa ngegama lalo ushizi. Kubizwa ngokuthi “Kuze kube-u-uh,” futhi impela, ushizi usezingeni lomhlaba. Ukusuka lapho, iFreeway 6, inyoka enama-two-laner, imicu engasogwini lwe-Vary ehlathini futhi lapho ibheke ePortland. Qedela (Googled) ibanga: 283 amamayela. Kwibhayisikili le-ICE lansuku zonke, isipiliyoni sithatha cishe amahora ayisithupha, noma isikhathi eside uma uyeka eceleni kwendlela ongayidlala ngayo iSkee-Ball eSeaside, uthole i-taffy yamanzi anosawoti eCannon Seaside, cwilisa izinzwane zakho ngaphakathi kwe-surf eHug Izinga, noma thatha ukuvakasha kweyunithi yokukhiqiza kuyunithi yokukhiqiza ushizi (yazise ngokuphelele - ushizi wamahhala!). Lezi yizibonelo ezimbalwa zabaningi, abaningi inani lezindawo limisa eceleni komzila. Kodwa-ke ingathatha isikhathi esingakanani ibhayisikili likagesi, ngezikhathi zalo zokushaja ezinde?

OKWENGEZIWE KUSUKELA EBUWENIUkubuyekezwa Kwendlela Yesikhathi Eside: Isithuthuthu Sikagesi SikaZero Siphakamisa I-Bar FuthiBy UBill Roberson

Ngisebenzise uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-PlugShare ukuhlela umzila wami nomlenze wokuqala wohambo uzulazula ngezinombolo. Ngasuka ePortland ngo-8 ekuseni ngalandela uFreeway 30 ngaya eLewis naseClark Bridge eneminyaka engu-90 ubudala ewela uMfula iColumbia futhi exhuma i-Oregon neWashington, ngafika eDecrease Columbia School eLongview, Washington, ngamamayela angama-62, indawo Ngibeke ishaja yeClass II 6kW ngaphakathi kwendawo yokupaka izimoto. Imvamisa ikolishi belingahleleka, kepha ikhempasi ibithule njengoba abafundi basekolishi befeza ucwaningo lwabo endlini ngenxa yobhadane lwe-coronavirus. I-Zero noma kunjalo ibisondele ezindlekweni ezingama-20% njengoba ngichofoze isixhumi endaweni. Nginikeze isikhathi ngihamba ngekhampasi eboshwe kahle futhi ethule, ekugcineni ngagcina esitolo se-Subway sandwich ukuze ngibeke amalungiselelo ohambweni olusele. Isikhathi sokubiza ku-100%? Ihora elilodwa, imizuzu eyi-10. Inani: Kumahhala. Isangweji? $ 6, kanye nentela (kanye nobhiya wezimpande).

Ngikhokhiswe ngokuphelele, ngigaxwe isandwich futhi nginezimpande, ngakhomba i-SR / S up Freeway 4, indawo enhle yetiyela elinemizila emibili elizungeza umfula i-Columbia libheke oLwandle iPacific, indawo elihlangana kuyo noFreeway osogwini 101. Lokhu kungaba ukwelula ibanga elingamamayela angama-73 ngebhethri le-SR / S, ngafaka ibhayisikili kumodi ye-Eco futhi ngakhiyela ngaphakathi ekuphathweni kwezikebhe ngamamayela angama-55 ngehora, okungazange kuphele isikhathi eside ngoba amajika aqale ukubuya ngokushesha, anciphisa ijubane elijwayelekile nokufuna ukuphathwa kokuqina kwabantu okuqondile. Umgwaqo onguthelawayeka kwesinye isikhathi ugcwele amadolobha amancane afana nalawa Skamokawa, indawo engiyicimile ukuze ngithole ukuphambuka okusheshayo ku-hangout yangaphambilini, Lucky Udaka, indawo abanye abangane kanye nami esasijwayele ukuya kuyo ukuthola isikhathi esithile sokwenza umsebenzi kanye negalofu elithile elikhulu kunawo wonke kule ndawo - mhlawumbe emhlabeni. Kungaba isinqumo esinqumayo.

Bengijwayele ukwenza i-hypermiling yami enkulu ukuyenza iye e-Astoria, kepha i-Fortunate Mud detour ibingibiza ngamamayela ayi-10 ahlukahlukene, ngokweqile engikubonile ngaleso sikhathi, futhi manje bengisebenzisa imodi yokukhathazeka ehlukahlukene ngenkathi ngibuka i-degree yebhethri i-flip purple ngoba yehle ngaphansi kwe-pc eyishumi, yabe seyi-9, ngemuva kwalokho kwaba yisishiyagalombili, kwasala amamayela ayisithupha kuphela. I-Astoria, neshaja eyalandela, kwakulele amamayela ayisishiyagalombili - nebhuloho elilodwa elikhulu - kukude. Ngigoqe i-nook ngaya ekwehleni kancane futhi umlomo woMfula i-Columbia wavuleka ngaphambi kwami, umnyango oya I-Astoria-Megler Bridge ngaphakathi kwebanga, ukuwela umoya oshaywayo, okuyi-slender esingamamayela amane ubude okhuphuka ngama-200 ft ngenhla koMfula i-Columbia ngasendleleni eseduzane ne-Astoria - futhi noma kunjalo kwakuqhele ngamamayela amathathu. Imitha yebhethri ichofoze yaya ku-5 pc Ngilahle i-velocity yami ku-45mph.

I-Zero SR / S ngokuyinhloko iyimodeli efeksiwe futhi ehlehlisiwe ye-Zero's SR / F mannequin, futhi ngangazi kusukela ngesikhathi sami ne-F ukuthi ibhayisikili aliqedi lapho ibhethri lishaya u-zero. Ifana kakhulu nebhayisikili elidala elinamandla kagesi, ine- “reserve” enkulu yamandla engaqhubeka nokuqhubekisela phambili umshini, noma ngabe uyisivinini esehlisiwe. Kodwa-ke ngendlela ende? Ukuhlola kwami ​​kokusebenzisa i-SR / F kuya ku-zero (kanti indlu eseduze kakhulu) kubonakale kukhomba ukuthi ubuncane bamamayela ambalwa asele ngaphakathi kwethangi ngemuva kokushaya u-0%. Ngehlise i-SR / S ngaya ku-30mph, ngasebenza izibani eziyingozi futhi ngagibela eceleni kwehlombe lapho ngifika emnyango webhuloho, kwesinye isikhathi ngishayiswa yiloli le-log, iveni noma i-RV njengoba behamba nge-55 noma ngaphezulu. Islayida ungene ebhulohweni, ibhethri lifunda uziro ngokuhluka ngokungezelelekile ku-zero. Yize kunjalo, i-SR / S yathengiswa ngo-30mph, kepha ukukhuphukela esiqongweni esingamamitha angama-200 ebhuloho kwakusondele ngaphambi kwami, futhi ngibe nokungabaza kwami ​​ukuthi kube khona ama-electron anele abhakaniya nxazonke aqukethwe kuphakethe lebhethri ukwenza umqansa onamandla , ngokubona ukuthi ibhayisikili lalingakanani amakhilogremu angama-530 nama-panniers, ngangeza enye engama-230 noma ngaphezulu futhi nganginezimpahla eziningi ze-digicam ebhodini - kanye naleso sangishi. Lelo bhethri elingenamuntu lalidinga ukusunduza eduze kwamakhilogremu angama-800 ukhuphuke igquma elincane nokho elifushane. Ngaqala ukugaya koqweqwe lwawo ngoba umqansa waqala.

Ibhuloho elineminyaka engama-54 ubudala lingaba lide kakhulu kodwa ngaphezu kwalokho lincane kakhulu uma kungenalo ihlombe lezimoto, futhi ukuchitha wonke amandla emlenzeni okhuphukayo kungangibeka endaweni eyingozi yokuvimba izivakashi zesiza, eziningi zazo ezenziwe ama-semis, ama-RV nama-pickups. Kodwa-ke njengoba i-SR / S ikhuphukile, izinombolo zejubane zihamba kancane ngoba indawo yesikhala isondele lapha. Njengoba izivakashi zesiza zinqwabelana ngemuva kwami ​​nepiki enkulu ngentukuthelo ngenza umzamo wokuhamba, ngivule indawo ephakeme kakhulu yesikhala ku-25mph, ukunciphisa uswidi okugeleza ngemithambo yami ngoba i-SR / S ithathe i-velocity - namandla okuvuselelwa kabusha - njengoba mina kwehlise ukwehla okufushane kepha kwehla kwe-Astoria. Ngamaqanda nokho ekhombisa kumageji eZero, ngehla ngenyonyoba ngiphinde ngehla ngomgwaqo ngiya esiteshini sokushaja, ngenhlanhla ngimi eduze kwebhuloho. I-Fifty ft kusuka kwishaja, imoto icishiwe futhi “ibhethri liphelile” kuhlelo lweLCD. Ngicindezele i-SR / S izithandani zangaphambilini ze-ft kwishaja futhi ngachofoza isixhumi endaweni. Ngingasho ngenani elikhulu impela ukuthi i-2020 Zero SR / S enebhethri elingu-14.4kWh, ama-panniers agcwele kakhulu kanye nomgibeli omkhulu ongena ngaphakathi ngokuqinisekile uzohamba amamayela angama-88.7 wokushayela umgwaqo omkhulu onguthelawayeka ku-55mph (futhi abambalwa ku-30mph ngentengo eyodwa. Kwakungu-2: 45 ntambama, futhi uhambo lwami lwalusezingeni eliphakathi nendawo.

Ukuthatha ibhethri njengengasizi ngalutho ngoba amasu wangaphakathi weZero angayivumela ukuthi ithole (futhi akukuhle ukuthi ibhethri likwenze lokho, likucabange) ngokuchofoza ngentengo eyikhulu ye-pc kusuka ku-node ye-Stage II 6kWh kuthathe amahora amabili futhi Imizuzu eyi-2, isikhathi engihambise ngaso sihamba sizungeza idolobha lase-Astoria elinomlando futhi elihehayo, izitolo zezindawo nezindawo zokudla bezilokhu ziphila isikhathi eside ekuthatheni nasekunikeleni ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kwe-coronavirus. Abanye abakwazanga ukukwenza, njengoba izinkomba ezintsha ze-For Lease zilenga kumawindi asekhaya ambalwa. Idolobha linamabhentshi ahlelwa eduze kweshaja futhi ngisebenzise i-smartphone yami kancane ngenkathi izindleko zifeziwe. Inani? Inkokhelo eyisicaba ye $ 16.

Umlenze Wesithathu, ulwazi olufushane kuTillamook, lubheke phambili. Kwakungemva kuka-5pm ngemuva kokuthi ngiphendule into ebalulekile. Ngaphinde futhi emgwaqweni, ngashintsha iZero kusuka kwimodi ye-Eco ngaya ku-Sport R, imodi eyenziwe ngendlela oyifisayo engiyidalile eyayiyimpinda yemodi yezemidlalo egcwele amandla nokho nge-regen yaphenduka kakhulu njenge-95 pc, eyanikeza i-SR / S imikhuba yokwehlisa isivinini ku-mpintsha ovaliwe kakhulu njengebhayisikili lami langasese, iHonda CBR1100XX Tremendous Blackbird. Futhi ngenkathi i-SR / S ingenawo umfutho ophambene womngcele weBlackbird, inkulu kunokuyifanisa nokusheshisa okunonya, ngoba i-torque rocket yamamitha ayi-140 yemoto ibingamakhilomitha angaba ngu-60 ngehora ngaphakathi kwesikhala sokudonsa okujulile .

Kukhululiwe, i-SR / S iyintokozo yokudweba ekhoneni, noma ngabe izibonelo zangemuva ze-SHAD zifaka isisindo sangemuva. Kodwa-ke noma ngabe udonsa i-derrière yami, ama-pannies, i-digicam gear, imishini yokuvula imvula, amasokisi omile nokuhlinzekwa kokudla okulula, i-SR / S ithukwe yi-nook ngemuva kwe-nook ngokuzinza okuncomekayo, ubushelelezi obuhle nokushesha kwe-searing njengoba ngishaye indlela yami phansi i-Freeway 101 evulekile futhi engenamuntu ngokuya eTillamook, ngamamayela angama-65. Njengoba kunezindawo zokukhempa zase-Oregon, izindawo zokuvakasha kanye nezinkampani eziningi ezivaliwe ngenxa yalolu bhubhane, umgwaqo onguthelawayeka osontekile ubukhulu becala wakhululwa kubavakashi besiza, futhi ngahambisa okuncane okwakukhona kalula ngoba i-torque engu-SR / S 'eyijule kahle ye-torque yangishaya ngaphesheya kwama-RV ambalwa , ukuthatha izithombe ngesikebhe namabhayisikili ahlukile (wongelela ukuqhutshwa kwabagibeli bezemidlalo) okwenza indlela yabo ibheke eningizimu. Ngagcina ukungena Abafana Abalahlekile bafanelekile Ulwandle olufuna ukuhlafunwa ngokushesha ngemuva kwalokho oluye lwaphinde lwaba seCannon Seaside ethandekayo, ngenxa yalokho, lokho kudingekile futhi ukuhlinzekwa kwami ​​ngosawoti wamanzi anosawoti owaziwayo endlini kwakusebenza phansi ngendlela eyingozi.

Ngiphinde ngasebenza kabusha, ngidubule abayi-101 bangena eTillamook, kepha ihora lesikhathi sekwephuzile (kanye nobhubhane) bekusho ukuthi iminyango eseyunithi yokukhiqiza ushizi eyaziwa kakhulu ivaliwe emphakathini futhi indawo yokupaka izimoto ivinjelwe, okwaklwebha njengenye ye Izinto ezi-4 zokushaja ezingekho kwirekhodi lami (impela, kungenzeka ukuthi ngiwele umgoqo, kepha….). Ishaja elandelayo edolobheni ibiphethwe yiChevy Bolt, kepha okwesithathu empeleni bekuyinto ehehayo futhi ngithole ishaja ebingasenabantu eBlue Heron French Cheese Firm, indawo eyindilinga yezokuvakasha efanelekile kuFreeway 101 ehlengiwe ngempahla yobisi emangalisayo , izithombe ezibabazekayo, ogandaganda bakudala kanye namanye amapigogo amahle abelokhu ezulazula ezindaweni ezigcinwe ngobunono. Isesha indawo yokuthepha kuzokhokhelwa kwishaja, isignali encane iveze ukuthi noma kunjalo phakathi kwezinsuku zokuqala zokuhamba ngezimoto kagesi: Ukushaja kwakumahhala, kanye neTeslas kunodi engomakhelwane. Jabulela it ngenkathi ihlala, i-EV-driving pals.

Njengoba i-SR / S ifaka kancane amandla kagesi nokukhanya kwelanga, ngahamba eceleni kweFreeway 101 ukuthola indawo elula, ngithatha izithombe ngoba isibhakabhaka saphenduka imibala. Izivakashi zazicishe zingabikho ngoba idolobhakazi elincane lalicofa izinkinobho kusihlwa ngoLwesihlanu opholile; azikho izindawo zokudla noma ama-nightclub avuliwe noma kunjalo, ekugcineni, ukuduma kokuqalisa kabusha kube ngaphakathi emoyeni. I-Oregon ikwazile ukubhekana nokuqubuka kahle, ngokujaha okungazelelwe ukuvala amakolishi nezinkampani ngoMashi umbuzo omncane osebenzela ukufaka ukugula. Noma kunjalo, njengalokhu kubhalwa, abantu abangaphezu kwe-160 babhubhe ku-COVID-19 ngaphakathi kombuso cishe i-5,000 ingcolisiwe. Izinombolo eziphansi, mhlawumbe, noma kunjalo imigwaqo emikhulu engenalutho, izitolo ezivaliwe nokungabikho ngokuphelele kwabantu ezindaweni zokuvakasha ngokuvamile kuvame ukugcwala ezixukwini maphakathi noJuni okwenzelwe isikhumbuzi esesabekayo sokuthi hlobo luni lwemiphumela yokugcina ebucayi olungenzeka ngaphansi kwesimo esibi kakhulu ubhadane lwegciwane. Izixuku zizobuya, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Kungenzeka kube - noma kungaba - kubi kakhulu uma singaqaphile.

Ngemuva kwehora nemizuzu engama-38 ngifikile eTillamook, ishaja icishe ngafaka isilayidi sezulu esibandayo ejazini lami, ngafaka intamo eshisayo futhi ngemba amagilavu ​​wami wasebusika ngaphandle kwama-panniers angemuva. Kwakungamazinga angaphezulu kwama-60 nje, kepha ngangazi ukuthi lokho kwakungokwesikhashana kuphela. Bengikade ngizijabulisa ngomculo futhi ngisebenzisa okuningi ngesipiliyoni ngenxa yesimangaliso ICardo Packtalk Bold uhlelo ngilufake ku- I-AGV Sportmodular Mono isigqoko sokuzivikela, nokho manje ngangena ezindlebeni ukuze ngithulise umsindo womoya wendlu yomlenze wokugcina futhi ngacisha izingoma. Kwakungo-9: 15 ebusuku ngemuva kokuthi ngiphume endaweni eningi iBlue Heron ngigingqa kuFreeway 6 lapho ngiya ePortland. Ishaja esiseduze kakhulu ibikude ngamamayela angaba ngu-60 eBanks, kodwa-ke akusikho lokho ebengikusho ukuthi “gcina isithwathwa” kimi lapho ngishiya iTillamook kanti umgwaqo onguthelawayeka unciphise waba yimizila emi-2 emincane ngoba iqale ukukhuphukela e-Coast Vary.

Njengentatheli yesiteshi somabonakude esingumakhelwane eminyakeni edlule, ngabhala izindaba eziningi ezimayelana nokuphahlazeka kwe- “the Six” njengoba kuqashelwa esifundeni, umzila wenyoka, ojijayo futhi ongalingani ngokwanele ohlanganisa ugu naphakathi kwe-Oregon. Usuku lonke, kuyisimangaliso esihle nomgibeli wezemidlalo. Ngesikhathi sasebusuku, kuyisigaxa esimnyama, isigaxa esimnyama somgwaqo indawo inyamazane yendawo, indololwane, umshayeli ophuzile, imoto edilikile noma idwala elingase liwele kule nook elandelayo, futhi kukhona amakhona amaningi, amaningi. Ngimise ukuphathwa kokuhamba ngesikebhe kwe-SR / S kuma-50 (umkhawulo wejubane ngu-55) ngoba ukukhuphukela ezintabeni kwaqala, futhi njengoba ngangicabanga inqubo eyodwa le ngxenye yesipiliyoni engaba yingozi eyengeziwe uma laqala ukuna, laqala ukuna. Ngishintshe imodi yeZero to Rain, ebiqumba ukuphathwa kwe-traction kanye nokuzwela kwe-ABS ngenkathi kunciphisa amandla okukhipha amandla, yize ijubane lomgwaqo omkhulu lahlala ompompi. Ngangivame ukuphuma emvuleni lapho ngigeza imvula kamuva kaninginingi egandayithini elomile, kodwa ngokuqinisekile kwakuyisikhumbuzo sokuthi manje, umgwaqo ojikayo usungaba manzi kunoma yiliphi izinga futhi imvula eyengeziwe enciphisa umbono kungenzeka iyeza.

Ngangena ebumnyameni i-SR / S yangithwala, amalambu amabi we-LED amangalisayo ebeka ukukhanya kwelanga okucwebezelayo nokubanzi phansi komgwaqo, nokukhanya - futhi ama-LED angamawele - kukhanyisa izitendi eziminyene zezihlahla zemibhoshongo ezinde ezakha umgwaqo onguthelawayeka futhi zaqothula isibhakabhaka. Ayikho insizakalo yeseli kuFreeway 6 omningi ngoba unqamula imihosha ejulile nemicu ngamahlathi amade, ngakho-ke ukungahambi kahle noma ukungahambi kahle kungaba nezinhlawulo ezibulalayo ngenxa yokuthi uma kungekho muntu owaziyo ukuthi ushayisile, siza ukuthi awuyi . Ukugoqa i-nook eyodwa ngqo kuqonde ngqo, ulayini wezibani zangaphambili - okuyinhloko engikubonile - bezifika ngendlela engafanele. Kungazelelwe, kanti noma kunjalo izindlela zazingasekho, imoto ehamba phambili yaphaphalaza kulo mzila wami - yanyamalala. Owesibili nowesithathu benze okufanayo njengoba ngehlisa ijubane. Umshayeli wokugcina wama, wacwayiza, wakhanyisa izibani zabo ngokubona ubukhona bami. Ngingene ngonyawo lwangaphambilini ngo-3mph futhi ngabona ukuthi kwakuwumphongolo wamaJeeps akhuphuka ngomgwaqo ogawula izihlahla; abantu bendawo baphume bakujabulele ngesikhathi sangoLwesihlanu ebusuku. Amandla okushayela iJeep yokugcina adonsa uphondo lwakhe lapho ngidlula ngemuva kwalapho ngiludubule ngomgwaqo ukuze ngijoyine leli qembu futhi, umgwaqo omkhulu wagcwala ubumnyama obuyinki ngokushesha. Angikaze ngiqaphele moto eyodwa ngemuva kwami ​​kungakhathalekile ukuthi ngihamba ngesivinini esingakanani.

Ukugoqa ukwehluka ngenhla kophawu lokuphakama okungamamitha ayi-1,500, izinga lokushisa lifunda amazinga angama-42 embukisweni we-Zero's ogqame kakhulu. Umgwaqo onguthelawayeka ubheke ezansi, umgwaqo ovulekile uvame ukubanjwa ngokulungiswa okuhle, ukucwilisa nokuqhekeka okusele kusukela lapho izingxenye ezithile zalo zigezwe khona esikhaleni semvula enkulu ngo-1996 nangeminyaka eyalandela. Kodwa-ke ukumiswa okuphumelelayo kwe-SR / S eShowa kwafaka ukungahambi kahle kwendlela egandayiwe kalula futhi ngidinga ukusho, kubhekwe njengesinye sezihlalo zebhayisikili ezinde kakhulu engibe nenjabulo ebuchwephesheni. Ngangivame ukungakhululeki nakancane. Kungakhathalekile ukuthi kunamagilavu ​​asebusika asebusika, izintende zezandla zami bezilokhu zibanda, ngakho-ke manje njengoba ngangivame ukwehla lapho ngiya khona, ngasebenzisa ama-handgrips afudumele afika lapha nge-Premium model ye-SR / S. Ngokushesha, izinombolo zami zigezwe ukushisa futhi njengoba ngigcina kwenzeka ekwenyukeni, izinga lokushisa elizungezile laqala ukukhuphuka. Futhi yaqala ukuna, futhi.

Futhi lapho usohambweni, iziqu zebhethri zazifunda phakathi neminyaka yama-60s, futhi phakathi nohambo, bengilokhu ngilinganise kancane ngaphansana kwemayela elilodwa ezingeni elilinganayo lezindleko zebhethri. Ukugoqa phansi ezansi kweFreeway 6, i-SR / S yashintsha phakathi kolwandle, ukuvuselelwa kabusha, namandla amancane njengoba amandla adonsela phansi enza umsebenzi omningi. Miles kamuva, lapho inyanga egcwele ikhuphuka ngamafu ahlukanisayo futhi ukukhanya okuncane kwamalambu wedolobha elikhulu lasePortland kwaqala ukukhanya emkhathizwe, iFreeway 6 yathululela emapulazini agudlukayo eWillamette Valley ebanzi. Igeji yebhethri yahlala phakathi kwama-60s aphansi. Bengizimisele ukuyeka eBanks ukuze ngivuselele ukuvala, kepha manje, lokho ngenhlanhla bekungafuneki.

Ishaja elandelayo ibivele isemgwaqeni eHillsboro eSilicon Forest e-Oregon, eduze nendawo uFreeway 6 oxhunywe kuFreeway 26, isixhumanisi sokuqala (kodwa kunesicefe) phakathi kwePortland nogu olusenyakatho ne-Oregon. Uma ungena esikhaleni sase-Hillsboro, ibhethri lalifunda phakathi kweminyaka yama-40s kanti okuhlukahluka kwakulenga kumamayela angama-38, okwakusho ukuthi kunethuba lokuthi ngingayenza ibe yindlu ngaphandle kokuma. Uma ukulinganisela kwami ​​kufushane, lokho bekungeyona into enkulu kangako kusukela manje, kube namashaja abonakala ebhlokini ngalinye, ngohlelo lokusebenza lwe-PlugShare. Ngakho-ke ngacindezela, ngenyuka iSylvan Hill ngo-60mph ngemuva kwalokho ngaya phansi ngiconsa enkabeni yedolobha lasePortland ukuyokhetha i-Interstate 405, okwabe sekuqhuma kulo lonke iMarquam Bridge elibheke kabili ePortland, futhi ekugcineni lakhuphukela e-Interstate 84 emkhakheni weNingizimu-mpumalanga wedolobha Ngisho igama lendlu.

Ukugingqikela erempini yokuphuma ukuphuma kwe-I-84, abaphathi bezikebhe bavele bazinqamule ngokwabo ngoba ibhethri lichofoze laya phansi ku-4 pc, kusele amamayela amabili okuhlukahluka. Kuzokwanela. Ngibona ibanga elifushane ukuya endlini nedolobha ngoba inkomba ehlukile ishelela ku-zero, bese ngingena emgwaqeni ngomunye umkhaza okhombisa kugeji yebhethri. Ngu-11: 11 pm kanti i-tripmeter ifunda amamayela angama-87 ngokunembile. Ngomsebenzi wokuqapha isipiliyoni sohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Zero lohlelo, uhlelo luvele lwaba ngamamayela angama-296.

Yini Nalokho Okuzoba Yikho

Kungaphikiswa ukuthi amabhayisikili kagesi ngeke akulungele ukuthwala umthwalo wokuvakasha amabanga amade. Impikiswano impela, ngiyavuma, ikakhulukazi ngokuqhathanisa nokunethezeka kwamabhayisikili asebenza ngogesi. Noma-ke ithathwe yodwa, kuyacaca ukuthi iyenzeka, iyenzeka ngokuphelele, inkinga engahlangatshezwa nayo. Umane uqondise kabusha amapulani akho nokulindelwe emikhawulweni yamanje yento ebalulekile ethintekayo, ikakhulukazi ukusebenza kahle kwebhethri. Konke okunye okujwayelekile kwebhayisikili lokuvakasha kwezemidlalo bekungokwamanje futhi kubhalwe kuZero SR / S: isihlalo esimnandi, ukuphathwa kwezikebhe, ukuboniswa kweziphazamisi, ukubamba okufudumele, imithwalo evulekile, uhlelo lokusebenza lokuhlela uhambo, iziteshi ezimbalwa "eziphembayo" futhi njalonjalo. It can ibulawe, efanele manje, kanti i-SR / S ishesha ngendlela ekhazimulayo futhi ihlanzekile - kuyintokozo ukuzwa usuku lonke. Umehluko oyinhloko uyingxenye yalolo suku osetshenzisiwe ukulifaka uphethiloli. Kancane.

Okwamanje, kunjalo nje. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ngokungangabazeki ngaphambi kokuba silindele, izingqinamba zizohluka ngokuphelele. Ubuchwepheshe bebhethri obusemfashinini buqala njengamanje, futhi sekusele kancane kwenziwe izinguquko ezinkulu. Phakathi neminyaka ezobuya, leyo mayela angama-87 omgwaqo onguthelawayeka aya ngamakhilomitha angama-187, bese kuba ngama-287 bese kuba ngamamayela angama-500 njalonjalo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izikhathi zokushaja zizoqhubeka zehle njengoba amasu okushaja nokwakhiwa kwebhethri kukhula futhi kukhula. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ukuyishaja kabusha ibhayisikili likagesi (noma elezimoto) kuzothatha imizuzu, hhayi ihora noma ngaphezulu. Unombuzo omncane: kuzokwenzeka. Izinkampani ezimbalwa ezinkulu kakhulu eMhlabeni, emkhakheni ngamunye wezimoto nobuchwepheshe, ziyalahla izigidigidi ku-R & D yebhethri, futhi ungathembela kule mizamo yokuthela izithelo esikhathini esiseduze. Ukuqhamuka kuzokwenzeka, mhlawumbe okuyinhloko, amandla endawo azophindeka kathathu noma angeziwe esikhaleni esifanayo esinikezwe sokugcina, okwenziwa kokugcina amandla okuvame ukubizwa amandla kagesi.

Ubuningi bamandla kagesi oketshezi usuzobekwa etsheni (ngiyaxolisa); uma ufisa ukuqhubekela phambili, udinga ukuphatha okunye okwengeziwe, okunikeza isisindo, okushintshashintsha njengoba kusetshenziswa. Ngamabhethri, umthwalo awunakulungiswa nakancane. Ngokwengeziwe, amabhethri ngokuvamile angenza okubonakala kungacabangeki: anesisindo esincane kakhulu kepha agcine amandla athe xaxa. Udinga ubufakazi? Thenga amaphakethe ayisishiyagalombili amabhethri e-alkaline e-AA kanye namaphakethe ayisishiyagalombili amabhethri e-AA lithium. Ama-lithium alula kakhulu kepha awokugcina made kakhulu. Isimangaliso? Cha, isayensi yebhethri nje, isayensi efanayo eyenza ibhethri le-SR / S le-lithium-ion likwazi ukuhamba ngesithuthuthu esingamakhilogremu angama-505, isidumbu sami esihle nenqwaba yamagiya asindayo isikhathi esingaphezu kwehora e-velocity, ngemuva kwalokho ivuselele kaninginingi ukuphinda indlela. Uma uyibheka, iqiniso lokuthi iZero SR / S isebenza ngaphezu kwalo liyasebenza manje kuyisimangaliso sobuchwepheshe besikhathi samanje.

Isikhathi Sokuhamba!

Yini impilo nohambo lwangaphandle? Kuyisidina impela. Emphakathini onemfashini wezimboni, izingqinamba eziningi okhokho bethu abangaqhelile kakhulu abebezidinga ukulwela - ukudla, amanzi, indawo yokuhlala, ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha - okwamanje ziyizinto eziyimfuneko yokuphila kwansuku zonke. Abantu baseMetropolis abaphumile bafuna ukuvimbela indlala futhi babambe ukushisa ngezikhumba zezilwane. Manje sesinamajakhethi akhukhumezayo, i-ZoomCare, ama-nachos ayi-7 kanye namayunithi amahle edijithali wokuxhumana okusheshayo nokuzilibazisa, ingasaphathwa eyamabhayisikili kagesi amahle (nezimoto). Impilo iyihlazo lengcebo kubantu abaningi, noma ngabe bayayiqonda noma cha. Kuyakhathaza ukuba yiphayona kulezi zinsuku, kanti ngenkathi i-escapade yami yokuhamba ngebhayisikili kagesi yayinezikhathi ezithile ezishubile, azilutho uma ziqhathaniswa nobunzima obubekezelelwa ngamaqhawe angokoqobo UTed Simon noma uBessie Stringfield, obebonakala ingozi, ubandlululo olujulile kanye nezinye izingozi ngaphakathi kobuso futhi waguqula impintsha noma kunjalo.

Kodwa-ke ngenye indlela encane, ngizwe kancane lomoya wobuphayona kokuhlangenwe nakho kwami ​​ngemigwaqo ethule futhi yase-Oregon naseWashington ngesithuthuthu okuyisikhathi esivela esikhathini eside, kusukela esikhathini lapho ngenza iluphu yami yasogwini ngosuku e-velocity kubhayisikili kagesi ngeke kube yingcweti, ngenxa yokuthi ine-500-mile ehlukile, yenza i-200hp, ivuselele ngemizuzu engu-5 futhi ithembekile njengesando. I-SR / S yeZero iningi lezindlela zokuthola lelo kusasa manje. Kwakuyi-hoot yokuhlangenwe nakho, yangithwala ngenduduzo, yahamba njengama-dickens futhi yasebenza ngokunembile njengoba yaklanywa, yaze yaya ngenhla futhi yadlula amakhono ayo asobala kakhulu lapho izingqinamba zazimbi. Yangithola kahle lapho ngangifisa futhi ngifuna ukuya kwezemfashini nokunethezeka, okwathi ngemuva kwalokho yangitholela indlu engenazinkinga ngaphandle kwezingqinamba zebhethri. Angikwazi ukucela okukhulu kunalokho. Ngesinye isikhathi ngokushesha, ngaphambi kokuthi ngokungangabazeki sizoqonda, kuzothatha imizuzu emi-5 ukubiza ibhayisikili likagesi elizothola amamayela angama-500 ahlukahlukene, futhi ngokungangabazeki ngemali encane uma kuqhathaniswa nakwezindleko zikaphethiloli eziphansi zalesi sikhathi. Ungalulindela lolo suku, kepha-ke uzobe uswele ubuchwepheshe obuhle bokushayela ku-Zero SR / S, okuthandwa kakhulu ukuthi abagibeli abaningi abavamisile ukufika ebuchwephesheni. Engingakwenza nje ithemba nezimpande zokwakhiwa kwebhethri ukubamba kakhulu njengamakhono weqiniso we-Zero SR / S, ukuze kusheshe kwanele, ulwazi lwami lwamahora ayisikhombisa angajwayelekile lungenziwa ngaphansi kwamahora ayi-15.
