who exactly pays for the electricity to recharge your battery? the company or you?
while i like the idea, i see it taking more than 10 years for this to remotely catch on in any capacity in the usa.
- 1.2 million give or take a few
- I try to avoid TO as much as possible
- the bike can make the round-trip commute, no need for the company to pay.
If they permitted me to I would pay the equivalent of the charging rate at that time of day multiplied by total pack capacity. Perhaps a little bit of profit in there too due to wear 'n tear on the system ?
I fully realize that electric vehicles are not for everyone, needs/wants/requirements etc have to be taken into account. I wanted a new motorcycle, nothing but this really caught my interest.
There are a couple of websites devoted to mapping out the locations of public charging stations
