Hybrid Toyota RAV4 drove almost 2 thousand km without gasoline

Toyota cars are known for their reliability, and there are even quite a few extreme tests when the engines of a Japanese brand are forced to run without oil – and they are able to drive hundreds of kilometers like that. But without gasoline, Toyota cars with internal combustion engines have not yet learned how to drive. Another thing is a hybrid.

Startup Electreon is working on wireless charging technologies for electric vehicles and hybrids, integrated directly into the roadway. It was he who spoke about the world record for the range of electric driving without stopping for recharging – the RAV4 hybrid crossover, modified so that the charge of its traction battery is replenished directly while driving on a special road, turned out to be a participant in the record race. In the experiment, the crossover moved continuously for 100 hours and covered a distance of 1924 km during this time, powered exclusively by a traction battery with a capacity of 18 kWh.

Electreon said that during the entire experiment, the crossover wirelessly received 241.69 kWh of electricity. True, he had to move slowly, but in general the technology works. The car was moving not along an ordinary road, but along an oval-shaped polygon with an area with integrated wireless charging.

The developers of the technology plan to create a special hardware kit that can be installed on any electric car or hybrid so that it can be charged on the go. The technology is being tested in Sweden, France and Belgium.

Hyundai Tucson 2024 appeared on the road for the first

Hyundai cannot be stopped: the company releases new products one after another. The next one should be the updated Tucson crossover. The car is already being tested on public roads in Europe.

The car is tightly wrapped in camouflage – the company does not want to “shine” innovations in the exterior ahead of time. However, we can say that both the front and rear parts will change. At the front, there will likely be new headlights and a new grille design. There may also be some innovations in the design of the front panel. Interestingly, they are testing the Tucson with a trailer, and quite a heavy one, judging by the number of axles.

It is difficult to say whether there will be any innovations in terms of units. Most likely, if any changes occur, they will be minor ones – like new engine control firmware. The current Tuscon is offered with both internal combustion engines and hybrid versions – conventional and plug-in hybrid. All these options will remain in the updated car.

The most autonomous of the iPhone 15 line was not

Popular blogger Mrwhosetheboss with 16.4 million subscribers on YouTube decided to compare the autonomy of the new iPhones with previous generations.

The new line was presented in its entirety in the test, and from the old ones the iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 Pro Max were taken.

The most autonomous of the iPhone 15 line was not the 15 Pro Max.  The test showed that the new models are very good

At the initial stage, the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro Max took the lead, while the iPhone 15 Pro immediately became an outsider. The iPhone 15 Plus also performed well, lagging behind the leaders quite a bit.

Further, during the testing process, the worst model did not change, but the iPhone 15 Pro Max began to overtake its “grandfather”. At the same time, at what point did the leader change altogether – it unexpectedly became the iPhone 15 Plus.

When the iPhone 15 Plus reached the 50% charge mark, the iPhone 15 Pro Max had 44%, the iPhone 13 Pro Max remained at 41%, and the iPhone 15 Pro only retained 24%, that is, half the leader. At the same time, the outsider also changed – it became the iPhone 14 with 22%.

As a result, it was the iPhone 14 that was eliminated first with a result of 9 hours of screen operation. The iPhone 15 Pro was marginally better: 9 hours and 20 minutes. The iPhone 15 was the third to drop out, but it lasted almost 10 hours. The iPhone 14 Pro Max lasted another hour longer.

iPhone 13 Pro Max closed the top three with a result of 11 hours and 19 minutes, in second place was the iPhone 15 Pro Max with a result of 11 hours and 41 minutes, but the leader in the end was still the iPhone 15 Plus, which worked for an incredible 13 hours and 19 minutes.

Thus, the new generation as a whole has shown itself to be better in terms of autonomy than the previous one, and the result of the iPhone 15 Plus is absolutely amazing.
