Subaru Solterra is the first electric car of this Japanese company. The electric car is built on the e-TNGA platform, which was jointly developed by Toyota and Subaru. This is a completely new platform that will be used in the near future to produce other electric cars from Toyota and Subaru. A 71.4 kWh battery is installed in the floor of this platform. Subaru claims that this battery will maintain up to 90 percent of its efficiency in its first decade of life. Battery quality and longevity are monitored by a monitoring system that frequently checks the voltage, current and temperature of each individual battery cell. If deviations from the norms are noticed, the controls that control the overheating of the battery are automatically activated. Cooling the battery with water will help to achieve this. It is estimated that the period of use of the car will reach 10 years or 240,000 km. These are the goals that were put forward when creating the Solterra battery. Importantly, the slim battery pack is mounted underneath the car under the floor and is part of the chassis, helping to ensure a low center of gravity and perfect weight distribution on both axles. Inside, the Subaru Solterra offers a sense of space, while the panoramic sunroof adds spaciousness. Thanks to the long wheelbase of the e-TNGA architecture, the Subaru crossover has plenty of legroom and rear passenger space, with a trunk volume of 452 liters. There are two power units to choose from: the first with front-wheel drive and 201 hp and 265 Nm of torque. The speed from 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in 8.4 seconds, and the maximum developed speed reaches 160 km/h. The Solterra is also offered with dual-motor four-wheel drive. It has a power of 215 hp, a torque of 336 Nm, and a speed of 100 km/h is reached in 7.7 seconds. Both versions have a maximum fast charging power of 150 kW. Which means that 80 percent of the battery can be charged in 30 minutes. The Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra bring some smart technology to the EV sector, such as a steer-by-wire control system. Dubbed the One Motion Grip, this electronic control system is one of the most important new technologies to be applied for the first time. Now the steering mechanism has no mechanical connections between the steering wheel and the wheels. Instead, an electric system is used, which transmits the signal from the steering wheel directly to the front wheels. This ensures extremely fast reaction to turning the steering wheel and more precise control of the car. This eliminates the need for a conventional steering wheel, so One Motion Grip models have a "computer" style steering wheel/joystick instead of a classic steering wheel. The system can vary the sensitivity of the steering wheel, and it only takes a 150-degree turn to go from one extreme position to the other, so you'll never have to cross your arms or take them off this steering wheel. The advantages of the system are that when driving on an uneven surface, the steering wheel will turn less to both sides, it will be easier to adjust the driving trajectory in strong gusts of wind, and it also provides more space for the driver's legs, improves the driver's seating position, and makes it easier to get in and out of the car.
