Mechanical engineer here, not an EE, but I am guessing the limitation has to do with the maximum amperage an individual cell can handle.  The packs for a motorcycle battery due to space and weight constraints have significantly fewer cells than an EV, so the overall charge rate drops when you each individual cell can…

Well, I can tell you I have personally not seen motorcycles in my mirrors despite them being setup correctly, but known not to change lanes and make my head do extra swivels, solely because I could hear that there was a motorcycle near by.

Well, I guess there are now at least two of us in this 10% subsect of the motorcycle market. If I want to go on a group ride to a popular meeting spot, it’s going to be 50 miles round trip at about 60 mph over hills and valleys on country roads *take me home*, just to get to the meeting point. If I want to go to join…

The Teslarati and EVPhiles have ruined online car message boards. Just providing simple math infuriates them - and that’s just adding up the miles you’ll drive on a round trip outing, heaven forbid you start looking at safety factors to have some range left over or non-ideal scenarios such as cold weather.

What is that in real money, without the face of someone else’s Queen on the bills?

:(

I think your scenarios are more applicable to open road driving unladen. Regarding Tesla V3 supercharging these at the moment only allow Teslas to charge at them and are still very limited in the roll out - though I’m sure Tesla will get these chargers rapidly installed throughout the country, they are still in very…

Are you stopping for an hour or more each time you stop? The problem with expecting a light duty vehicle (<8500 GVRW) to be used as a tow rig is that Li-Ion technology just does not have enough energy for a given unit of mass and in a given unit of volume to pull a large heavy brick through the air at highway speed…

It does affect range on an ICE vehicle, but I can fill my truck to full in 2 mins rather than only 80% in somewhere between half an hour to an hour.

Is there any chance of the Mk8 TDI/GTD making it to the US?

I actually think that the focus of EVs should be on “short range” commuter vehicles. Something like the E-Golf or Mini Cooper SE would solve most peoples local run about needs, they wouldn’t meet my needs as I live in a rural area and a typical run about trip is 111 miles all together. I’d like to see more…

I will miss the front engine Corvette Coupe dearly. Especially when the trunk on the Camaro is tiny and difficult to use by comparison. No excuse me while I go look for a C6 on craigslist and facebook marketplace only to slap myself back to reality when I remember I live on a snowmobile trail (literally).

There’s no winning or losing here, different viewpoints going around back an forth over a shit show. Go learn something useful, get a job that positively contributes and get’s rewarded for the value of it’s contributions, and work for a living instead of hoping for Bernie or Warren to pay your way for you with other…

Ok Commie

73 Triumph, the fuel valve just switches between off and on for each carb.

Ive never run out of gas in a car, but I have in a motorcycle after misjudging the amount of gas in the tank. I was headed to my parents and I ran out of gas about a mile away.

The new law coupled with the new voter registration form also made our elections more susceptible to voter fraud because the voter registration form can be filled out with a Drivers License Number. All someone has to do is check the box Yes, next to the question: are you a US citizen and give them the drivers license…

Ok Commie, blame it on capitalism, why don’t ya. The fact is that interchangeable parts drive down cost which increases margins.

The reality is that this is piss poor government contract negotiation and unfettered spending. Field serviceability and personnel training should not be an afterthought when sending a…

Call girl!

Mercedes E-Class Wagon. You can even make the little shits that share half your genetic code face away from you so their cries are at least a little muffled.
