Well, you can't expect them to wire an outlet to where they don't know yu're charging your car.

Usually, anywhere in the garage is fine as they always have long output cables that can reach anywhere in most garages. And even if they somehow don't, one can buy EV  extensions cords.


See here.

" While California since 2015 has required new homes to have the necessary conduit and service-panel capacity for EV-charging, guidelines in the rest of the country are spotty. That could soon be fixed because the International Code Council (ICC) – which provides widely adopted best practices and standards for construction ­– approved putting EV-readiness in its latest guidelines."

The 30mph limit over here in Europe means the bikes conform the the "moped" class, which allows them to be ridden by much younger riders. 16 here in the UK, it was younger on the continent a while back but I have a feeling the age was bumped up a while back and I'm too lazy to google it

30mph is just fine for kids and light urban transport. Like in London, not often does anything actually reach 30mph for long.

A buddy of mine has the 2020 model that tops out, on the flat, at 45mph.

He says it is much like a 50cc on the hills and a 125cc off the line.

His Elecctrica has a regular 3 prong Nema 5-15 connector and he has an adapter from ebay item 274521853188 that charges the bike in 4 hour from an EV Charging Station EVSE at 240V instead of the standard 3-prong 120V 8 hours.
