Default Re: Electric Vehicles

As an electric car driver I know a little bit about charging on the go and I feel these guys played it very safe with their charging strategy. They could have gone deeper into the battery and charge with 10% or less remaining but in the main seemed to charge at 20% or more. They also ignored quite a few handy chargers on their route. I do get that as a group they wanted to charge at places that could handle them all at once, but I think they made that harder than it needs to be. Kudos to them for travelling through Wales though, a place known for the lack of chargers.

This bike has the range similar to an SV650 but needs a little more time to refuel, but as most bikers tend to have a break for the toilet / fag / brew / chat at fuel stops I think it might have minimal effect.
