When do you expect ev bikes to become practical road bikes.

Bob, I think I got your point, the going from mules to tractors, oil lamps to elect. lights, or possibly walking to flying in planes is exactly the same....as putting seat belts in cars or ethanol in gas...OK, I got it.

They are not mandating a different car, just a different power unit. The car doesn't have to change.

Right! I thought I'd NEVER come round to Taylor Swift, but today...my favorite song of hers is...
A Hard Day's Night!
No one lives forever, and some people will never do some things. I've never owned a pickup, a van (mini or otherwise), a Jeep, an off road bike, a surfboard and many other things. And I never will.

Taylor Swift? I suppose it's possible, but don't hold your breath. The newest piece of music in my home is 31 years old. (Mary Jane's Last Dance)

Correction: I have ONE newer song. "Tear Off Your Own Head (It's A Doll Revolution)" released 2002.

I was never a Taylor swift fan as I'm one of the the grumpy old "get off my lawn" crowd. But occasionally I hear a nice tune on the car radio and it's.... Taylor Swift. I still wouldn't buy her tunes or see a concert but she's okay and doesn't annoy me anymore. It took a devastating personal tragedy in my life to change me but I'm learning to go with the flow fighting windmills is stressful and futile. If ICE disappears it's all good I can tell stories to my grandkids about them and show them the 2 wheeled ICE monsters I keep in the garage parked next to my EV SUV.

You need to look closely to spot the EV F150s.

Someone here said something about batteries able to charge as quickly as pumping a tank of gas. That that would soon be widely available. I can't find that post now, but as my favorite (ICE) bus driver R. Kramden would say...

Har har hardy har har!

Does posting the name of President Donald Trump gets your post deleted?
Democracy I suppose
Or Democrats...?

Toyota, Samsung and CATL are all saying 10 minute charge for Solid State batteries which is excellent for long road-trips, meaningless when charging overnight at home. The claimed range of Toyota's SS-batt 745 miles is more than 99% of us would consider driving in a day.

The day I can charge at home and never stop a gas bar again for anything other than a coffee, snack and pee break can't come soon enough.

Maybe I'll drop in at a Toyota dealer and see if they're taking advanced deposits, 2027 EVs

These batteries are getting closer & closer all the time. Exact same for the EV's, not there yet but sure a lot closer than they were 10 yrs. ago.

Bla, bla, bla, letàs hear it from you, when the next car park will be set ablaze by one of your homic cars

Lorenzo, your font color may look OK on a screen in dark mode. But on a white background, it's barely visible. Just thought you'd want to know. This is what we see on a white background.

Looks like a swing and a miss from Can-Am on their new commuter model, according to Ryan. But a bit of promise on their ADV model. Just that pesky range thing.

Yup I think we can all conclude the issue is the battery range and charge time. I'm more optimistic than Ryan battery technology is evolving very quickly, the future is solid state and it's coming, I don't see any problem accomplishing it by 2035. Bikes will benefit from the trickle down technology as cars and trucks will get there first.

Given my being linguistically challenged, could someone please translate this phrases for me?
The Menace of Thermal Runaway.
Vapor Cloud Explosion (VCE).
Hazardous Gas Accumulation.
The Silent Killer: Toxic Gas Emissions Post-Explosion.
The Escalating Threat of EV Fires.
Environmental Hazards: The Hidden Impact of EV Battery Disposal.
Keep saving planet Hearth
Thanks

[rphillips]

Simple, that's just say'in if we did or didn't do what we assumed, but didn't think we wanted to accomplish by changing what we were evolving into as it may get detrimental to future plant life in the coming Harvest Moons. We can't interrupt the harvest in the Harvest Moon. Also thought we wanted to but didn't finish the complete assumption that things could or could not get very bad or just stay the same... I'm assuming Italy does have Harvest Moons?
