SISTE: Toyota med etterlengtet batteri-avsløring
Etter ønsker fra både Elbil24 og kundene, går de fra hemmelighold til full offentliggjøring.

100% agree. Toyota has large usable buffers above 100% and especially below 0% (as shown on the display). My ID.4 will essentially go into turtle mode at 0%.The actual usable range is not likely to change, only how they estimate range (a made-up algorithm).
Other manufacturers like to boast about their ”range”, but some of their boasts are just because they moved the zero mile point or changed their estimating algorithm.
Toyota seems to err on conservative side, even with their ICE vehicles. There are numerous posts on the Venza forums questioning the Distance to Empty (DTE) calculation -- if it gets 40 MPG and the gas tank is 14.5 gallons, why does the DTE show only 450 miles on a full tank when 40 * 14.5 = 580?The actual usable range is not likely to change, only how they estimate range (a made-up algorithm).
