An EV motorcycle? The LiveWire from Harley-Davidson.

2021 Harley-Davidson LiveWire Review - bikesales.com.au

If the Harley-Davidson LiveWire is a glimpse at what the future looks like, then we are pretty excited

Rip and Camp have posted about e motorcycles, I think. I cannot imagine how ridiculously fast they may be, as a 7,000 pound SUV can go to 60 in about 3 seconds . . . .

This is interesting: even though the Taycan's HWY rating is 240 mi, Tom Mulvaney, who tests EVs at 70mph, got 298 in that test.

Porsche and Tesla seemed to have taken different approaches - Porsche under promieses and over delivers; Tesla over promises on range.

This is one of the cool thing about EVs - after you buy them, they should continue to get better. An over the air update from Rivian is (apparently) approving both the fast charging curve and charging in the cold.

The screenshot is from someone with the screenname Iwantatesla (funny since he got one of the first nonemployee trucks that I know of). That is the person I ran into in a Target parking lot, which is pretty fun (he is a very nice guy).

Improved charging curve included in latest OTA software update

People can commence argument on how this will actually change the charge curve. Posted by @Iwantatesla

They make parachutes for a reason.
More range with less folks on board.

When (I don't think it is "if") Ev's are viable for air travel, that will help a lot with emissions.

I remember when I lived in Brooklyn, drove maybe 1,000 miles a year, took mass transit or walked, and had one trip to Poland for a family on a C02 calculator - I had the same footprint as the average American, which not to be cute is pretty bad.

Sweet. NY's current map of active or in progress/negotiation is close to fast charger every 50 miles near hwy (actually by you MC it is better cuz, of course, Albany takes care of the capital region : ) )
