[QUOTE="RTSinDallass, post: 1450662, member: 97961"] Unfortunately electric vehicles are still more in the run about category than the touring. You’re not going to be doing in 500-1000 mile days. Real world test have shown their shortcomings in range and charge times. Everything will change with better battery chemistry, but they’re not quite there yet. There's a good series that Ewan McGregor does touring on motorcycles called Long Way (Up, Down, Around). One season "UP" they ride through South America on Harleys electric bikes from the south tip to the US. It was a brutal test, even with Harley's factory support hovering. There were a few breakdowns, but the biggest issue was range and charge times. Hopefully they can solve these issues with the better battery tech and charging infrastructure on the horizon. [/QUOTE]
