    Do you know the difference between a standard car salesman and an EV car salesman? The standard car salesman knows he’s lying.

    It took a decade to get approval for the electric motorcycle class on Pikes Peak. How to deal with safety due to high voltage batteries in a crash is new , it wasn’t really done well. Doesn’t take much electricity to stop a heart. Smaller the person the less electricity needed.

    I work with LG and tesla home batteries. They have a high failure rate. I see 20 dead batteries a week on average. 25% installed wrong, 25% miss used and drained too low to bring back. Geckos and high humidity might take out the rest. Hawaiian home owners are guinea pigs. But maybe we will benefit from it.

    12 yrs ago I made the 1st successful run up the pikes peak hill climb on an electric motorcycle, took 16 minutes to deplete the $20k battery. It wasn’t capable of running at 3/4 throttle for more than 8 miles. I had a temp guage on the battery so I would just get off the gas when the temp got up and gas it when it cooled down.

    Seems like the weather in Nebraska would be too low in the winter. They can’t drop below 0
