Kawasaki introducing an EV on June 7 2022

I was just thinking. It's gonna be hard to ride/drive an EV during rolling blackouts. I'm gonna test charging my eBike on my solar panels to see how long it takes to top it off.
 
It looks like a toy. There is just not enough energy density in current battery technology to make an EV bike a viable option. The excess cost, huge weight by volume difference to combustion engines will be very tough to overcome. Hope that development dollars continue to fund improvements on the combustion side of the equation as gains will be realized much faster and in greater volume.
