Toyota bZ3 all-electric sedan launched in China

experience, presumably in technologies such as regenerative energy recapture, the total range is over 373 miles. That is no doubt helped by a drag coefficient of 0.218, which ranks with the best of the latest EV crop.

Toyota didn't disclose the bZ3's power output, but according to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology the car will be offered with either 178 or 238 horsepower outputs. BYD's lithium iron phosphate Blade batteries are said to have better energy density and safety than other designs. Toyota allays fears of battery decay by promising they will retain 90 percent of their capacity after 10 years.

Dimensionally, the bZ3's footprint is very close to that of the Model 3, just a hair bigger in every metric. Styling takes after the bZ4X, with a front graphic that Toyota likens to a hammerhead shark. Inside, the dash aims for a minimalist cool aesthetic with just a screen for the instrumentation and a second, larger screen for auxiliary controls governed by a dial-like input. The steering wheel is both flat-bottomed and flat-topped, but is, thankfully, not a yoke.

Exclusive: Toyota scrambles for EV reboot with eye on TeslaToyota is considering a reboot of its electric-car strategy to better compete in a booming market it has been slow to enter, and has halted some work on existing EV projects, four people with knowledge of the still-developing plans said. Smart move Let Tesla be the rabbit. Toyota has a better brand rep by orders of magnitude. USA (& ROW) has a fraction of infrastructure required for mass EV use & I don't see Big Oil/Big Energy pivoting to Big EV Charging any time soon if ever. Car companies can't afford to build it either. Rewriting your business plan with 38 billion on the line. First plan sucked but 2nd one is better 🤣 👍🏽
