AMAZING!! We’re now in year 17 of The Giz Wiz Show!

 (The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006!) If it wasn’t for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone.

We’re Off To The NY Auto Show On This Week’s Show! Larry Gerson was on-hand to shoot our videos. For audio we used one of those wireless mics we reviewed a few month ago, with mixed results. It was the first time we ever tried one outside the studio, and in a big space like the Javits Convention Center. It was so-so, but you’ll hear for yourself. The great thing was not having to deal with any mic cables at all.

What Does It Take To Make An Electric Car Run?

If you’ve never seen the frame of an electric car without the body, you will on this week’s show. We found it at the Toyota booth where they were showing the Toyota 2023 bZ4X their first vehicle to utilize the brand-new e-TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform. Made specifically for Toyota electric vehicles, this structure is to said to allow for more space in the cabin. The Toyota website says an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 252 miles for front-wheel-drive models and up to 228 miles for all-wheel-drive models. Regenerative braking will recapture lost energy while coasting and help slow you down. (And this seems great.) Every 2023 bZ4X comes with one year of complimentary unlimited charging, with over 800 public charging stations currently available. Just set it up through the Toyota app, and take advantage of fast charging stations that are powered by 100% renewable energy. Plus Level 3: DC Fast Charging. Currently only available in public charging stations. Only available for bZ4X at this time. Price? Starting at $42,000, the 2023 bZ4X is currently available in select states only and in extremely limited quantities. Contact your Toyota dealer for availability details.⁠
