Agree with his logic or not? I think he's flawed, but we'll get into that later

Right now, it's a prototype, and further research and development would likely improve all that. And Harley's entrance would certainly raise the industry's profile. Zero Motorcycles said that on the day Harley unveiled LiveWire, traffic to its website doubled.

Beyond the meager market for an electric motorcycle overall, a Harley-Davidson electric bike already seems like a nonstarter because its core customer and the so-called outreach ones both still buy into the aura and image of its loud and proud heritage. Both groups have proved they largely still want the traditional styling too, and for that reason a mass-produced Harley e-bike is a nonstarter.

developing the infrastructure is depedent on developing a pay structure. once its determined how elkectricity can be priced and sold like gasoline we'll see things developing rapidly

Again, its not about the physical charger, its about the cost structure. Right now most places are allowing you to charge up for free, as more and more EV's come online that is going to stop, in fact I think you wont see more EV's come online until it can be figured out how to charge at the 'pump' for an e-gallon.

No one is going to invest if they don't know how to get their money out. Remember the electric car is not going to change the system, its just going to shift focus...

Perhaps instead of being charged for an e-gallon, you would just pay a yearly subscription service that would allow you to use whichever charger network as much as you want.

if in home hydro doesnt work that way no way transportation will work that way. Logic...
