ガソリン車では絶対に味わえない—EVで山道を降りると、充電が戻ってくる

A 200km one-way trip from Yokohama to Karuizawa. Two adults + a baby in a car seat, and a stroller, packed with luggage. Is a family trip in an EV really "inconvenient"? To put it simply, it wasn't inconvenient at all. On the contrary, we had an experience that you absolutely cannot have with a gasoline car: the battery recharged once we descended the mountain. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Key Points ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▶ The reality of a 200km family trip from Yokohama to Karuizawa with a baby ▶ Charging was done once for 30 minutes at a service area along the way, and overnight at the hotel. That's enough ▶ The thrill of climbing mountain roads with torque and recovering charge through regeneration on descents ▶ The navigation system predicts "increased charge" at the destination—a phenomenon unique to EVs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 Chapters ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 Family trip in an EV—nothing special 01:50 Mountains are fun—torque on uphill climbs and regeneration on descents 02:42 The strange phenomenon of charge returning after descending the mountain 03:26 Departure: Starting from home in Yokohama at 80% 06:08 Charging for 30 minutes at Yokogawa SA—from 28% to 71% 09:24 Why comparing gasoline and charging time is meaningless 11:02 Old Karuizawa, Hoshino Resorts, Shiraito Falls 13:00 Hotel Charging – 55% to 90% in One Night 16:24 On the Way Home: 88% but the Prediction of "31% at Destination" Means 20:00 How to Deal with Charging Infrastructure 24:00 The Phenomenon of "Charging Increases Upon Arrival at Destination" on Hakone Mountain Roads 27:53 To Those Hesitating About Buying an EV, and to Those Criticizing It ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 Related Episodes ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▶ I Rented an EV in Germany and Driven 350km on the Autobahn.
