    as an owner of a 24 bZ4x XLE FWD, the AWD is a lot more inefficient due to larger /heavier wheels and a dual motor, I can attest that without ac/heater on. Mileage is pretty accurate as described unless you are going at any speeds over 65 mph or going up a grade. If you are doing city and speeds around 60 mph miles per indicated on the cluster is pretty accurate. This was the same scenario with my 2023 Tesla or with any EV for that matter. I think if all EV manufacturers were to figure out how to put in a secondary overdrive transmission to their EV for highway travel , I truly believe mileage would be improved.

    Thank you so much for sharing. I’m interested in the FWD version and wondering how far is the range in reality. Do you also have any experience of driving in winter conditions? Super, if you could share some real life experiences. 🙏

    @@henriklarsson7835 Range all depends on you relying on the heater / Air Conditioner/freeway speeds etc like with any other EV. I don't use neither. Range for me on a full charge is 259 miles as stated on the cluster, but in real world if you use the heater/AC, drive freeway speeds, expect a range of around 200 miles. But I only drive local miles around 20 to 30 miles around town and I get around 250 miles, 3.9miles per KW. I live in central coast Ca. so we never get snow. And weather is usually pretty darn good all year long.

    @@brucewayne2773 Central Coast California sounds awesome. I spent a year in CA as a foreign exchange student and where you live is one of the best places ever. The FWD seems to be the better choice with faster charging and longer range. I have a RAV4 PHEV and it’s super reliable. Not a single issue in 3 years and the BZ4X would then be the natural step into the EV world. Thanks a lot for sharing this info, very informative.

    @@henriklarsson7835 Honestly the Rav4 plug in/prime is a great car, only reason why I purchased the bZ4x is the $16250 off, I got it for $27k, makes a great local car for me, I only charge at home. It's my second car as I also have a 24 Camry Hybrid for longer commutes when needed. I would not give up the Rav4 if it was your only primary vehicle, then again not sure what your driving needs are.

    300km from a 71kwh battery pack is still pretty inefficient. The price for this model and the dual motor model is way to high, Toyota you are not really focused on a world class EV.
