So, no sale to you.
Do you reckon that others should be actively discouraged from buying "electric"? ... or is it up to individual consumers how they spend their money?
... infinite torque ...
Tuff gize don't like that sissy engineering stuff.
They like good old, down home VVRRROOOOM! VVRRROOOOM! because most of them are man children.

Along with that there should be parts that are interchangeable rather than the design is changed 1% just so it become useless a few years down the road. ie a car rim should fit any car that is the same size no matter how many different 'companies' there are.I doubt if electric vehicles should be a serious consideration for the next 10 years...………………...if then. My philosophy is if something works leave well enough alone. IF after 10 or 15 years there is an indication they are an improvement...………..go for it. Let the dummies wade in until the wrinkles are ironed out.
Only baby-boomers have that kind of money for a part-time ride. The sales will go to collectors who just store them and say they are increasing in value. BTW most old time riders are getting around in wheelchairs because of the insistence a 'hard-tail' was 'more manly than something with a suspension.They prefer to putt around on the gasser models like it was 1969.
This is an interesting move in that it needs to draw in a new young demographic and the young demographic don't generally want to spend $30K on a bike.
They want the money. It will be just a fluke that welfare just manages to take care of the utilities, the rent and a few stale crackers to gnaw on. Welcome to your new world.How do we know we will be able to afford electricity? What will be the additional costs in terms of inundated land and habitat?
What was the ev news for July?
Summary
Global electric car sales were up 67% YoY in June (2nd best month ever), reaching 3.3% market share in June.
EV market news - Electric three-wheelers sell more than conventional ones first time in India.
EV company news - Tesla jumps past BYD to be the No 1 e-car seller. Tesla is also No 1 in Europe and the USA. Ampaire is testing hybrid planes
Canada should be using NG, be about $100/vehicle (in mass production mode) and a few seals and wider valve seats is about all the change would take at the manufacturing end of it. Fill up from home is also as cheap as it gets. The only expense would be converting a gas station into something that has customers. Throw the money that was thrown at Tesla and it would be a done deal rather than a test bed that is being scrapped now they know how to do it.A whole 3.3% market share for a product that's been around for longer than the ICE powered car? Wowee.
LOL yep, until the reality of commercial scale wind and solar slap people in the face.Why solar, wind and EVs will be the death of the petroleum industry

“We conclude that the economics of oil for gasoline and diesel vehicles versus wind- and solar-powered EVs are now in relentless and irreversible decline, with far-reaching implications for both policymakers and the oil majors,”
