Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #247Zitat von Peelz im Beitrag #244 Actually yes, for commute, I usually cycle(fillup) from 80% down to 30%. she drives 2 days on that. Not good for batteries to be full or empty too long. $3-4 The battery, I believe is 78kwh. so half is roughly 30-40 kwh at around 11 cents. Weve just returned from a long mountain trip, even with supercharging, it was about 1/3 the cost of the SUV. Comfortable, quiet... Truly a great traveling machine. The charging stops became fun events. Gotta be honest though. It is VERY hard to watch all the bikes run around the rocky mountains while in ANY cage LOL

An article in my newspaper today by Peter Douglas in his Green Rides column quotes a study titled "A global comparison of the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of combustion engine and electric passenger cars", published on July 20th, by The International Council on Clean Energy Transportation. Their report concludes that today's battery electric vehicles "have by far the lowest life-cycle GHC emissions". Attached is a copy of Peter Douglas's article.

I just updated the firmware of my Zero electric motorcycle. No need to visit my dealer (which I only did once for the 600-mile checkup). All I need to do is to turn on my bike, hit the Zero app installed on my cell phone and start the firmware download via the internet and my home computer. 20 minutes later I have the latest firmware updates installed in my bike. While the process is going on, the bike's display screen flashes on and off quickly. Attached are photos of the app during the download and the screen during the download that is flashing all of the possible characters on the display. Not having to visit a dealer and pay for the updates is a very nice bonus for owning an electric motorcycle.

How about this new Chinese electric motorcycle? Be sure to watch the short teaser video and the girl getting off at the end. She looks ready to take you on.

I went for a walk earlier and passed the local Subaru & Ssanyong car dealer. There were a bunch of bikes on display in front of the usual display of pick-ups & SUVs.

Here is a link to a short illustrated summary of a trip by a fellow who rode his Zero SR/F a distance of 14,600 km through 15 European countries. During that trip he had to recharge 160 times at a cost of 350 Euros. The only failure that he had on his Zero was a dead on-board charger, a common failure on all models of Zeros. Fortunately for him he owned a "premium" model that comes with three chargers, so he was able to continue his trip home. It just took a little longer: https://thepack.news/who-said-you-cant-t...sebastian-goes/
