So, two (more and maybe even more than that) things: This extra cord that BMW has is for God-tiered fast charging, right? And it’s like $850 more as an option? In the states, charging from one of our charging stations comes with the charging cable attached to the box. In other countries, it’s...

Thank you for the great explanation of different types of charges. I am looking to buy a CE04. I don’t have any problem charging from home. I had a Zero a couple of years ago without a level 2, just level 1. This may be a question that may have been answered: I live in the States. Why would I...

Thanks for the real life experience. I’m looking at getting one of these machines. I ride in the cold so I am looking at how much cold weather effects range. I may wait til Spring. There is a demo close to me (relatively) and I may make the trip to see how this rides on the highway. It’s a bit...

So someone correct me if I’m wrong about this, but from what I have read, this is a separate 12 volt battery. My assumptions are that this is what runs accessories and whatnot. The 148 volt runs the drivetrain. I bet there may be an engineer that can explain this better. You know the old saying...

I found the turtle.

Also, thanks for the chart. Very helpful.

I’m looking at getting a CE04 soon. I have had a Zero and I ride in the winter. Its battery was I think, 14.7 kWh. Anyways, yes, cold weather through my riding experience on the Zero brought me lots of range anxiety. My commute is 54 miles and in colder weather, I would get home on some days...

I was wondering about highway range. My commute is a little under 50 miles. Most of this is rural, probably average 45 mph. Will I need to charge or have you experienced this kind of range. I had a Zero for a couple of years and its battery was 14.7 and I made this commute easily. I think I...

Can you also let me know what kind of mileage you get on the highway. Haven’t seen much on the real world highway mileage. I haven’t bought one yet but I need to make sure my commute can make it. My job (Honda Auto Plant) does not have any charging stations, yet. SMH

There are many YouTube videos regarding buffeting. This is something I have struggled with with many bikes. I don’t use a windscreen anymore. There is a vacuum of some sort that is created between the screen and your body. For me, the wind hits me right on the chest and I don’t mind. The other...
