I have scanned further and see that this is an unpopular idea due to the ecological wing seeing this particular motorcycle as not aligning with their interests.  The Hybrid modes on this motorcycle are tuned toward enhanced short-term performance and not fuel economy.  Having such a forum may end up being too raucous.  Do what you will.

Hello, the 2024 Kawasaki Z7 HEV and Ninja 7 HEV hybrid bikes have many features that are similar to full BEV Motorcycles, there's a bunch of overlap in featureset, I wonder if perhaps creating a subforum for that series of motorcycles would be an agreeable idea to those with power here?

As an example, the series has a Vectrix-style throttle that is apparently used for both regen in normal riding, as well as regulating forward and reverse taxiing propulsion in "WALK" mode.

Please advise, I hope this finds the moderators well.

CT personal property tax.  It's easy to catch the big ticket items that have to be registered with the state, like a car or a motorcycle.

IIRC they have airplanes to spot things like new swimming pools, too.

I think H-D's plan is for their LiveWire customers to go from H-D dealership to H-D dealership, looking for a DC charging station.   

Assuming there's a dealership every... 50 miles apart or whatever the highway range ends up being on that thing *IF* it actually comes out.

Don't forget that "electrify america" teamed up with Wal-Mart to install non-propriotory  dc chargers at over 600 Wal-Mart's by end of 2019. There are already 2 within 50 miles from me, and 3 within 100 miles.

All of the press releases I was able to find indicate it would be 100 walmarts by EOY2019.  Perhaps 6 charger units per walmart?

On the door, there may/should be a breaker panel diagram sheet.
That has images which will tell if half-height 15a breakers can be used, but if possible, they're usually the bottom switches in the panel.

I am not an electrician, but I believe in balance.  That is the basis of my suggestion below:

I'd guess the way to go would be to take the two dishwasher 15s and combine them into two half-height 15s to free up that bottom right breaker, you now have a void large enough for a 240v breaker, perhaps move the oven/range breaker over to that slot, and then put a 60a breaker in on the left side where the oven/range breaker was.  I see that you have a 200a service breaker, so you should be reasonably safe.

Ask an electrician, and also ask them if there are any known issues with the make of your panel and breakers, some vendors have had fire safety issues in the past and been sued out of business. (tin-foil hat speaking)

Is this still available?

Dynomutt: The Amazon example was more to the fact they were unknown and doing something that hadn't been done before.  Old style financial analysis kept harping on the fact there was no profit from selling books online but they missed the bigger picture from what it could be.
I agree using their components for other uses could be a nice money maker.  Plus the new faster charging SRF platform could really make fleet sales an unbeatable option for cops or small delivery uses (500lbs carry).  Why they haven't made a work/play quad yet is beyond me.

But as for what a company can do when they cut their operating and overhead costs.  Cutting Tesla stores in this case.  Here is an article about Tesla dropping their high end prices by closing Tesla stores and of course other cost savings in production of batteries and manufacturing.

Tesla is different from Zero in that Tesla from the beginning had no desire to play ball with the existing power structure (dealership) and instead did all they could to disrupt and subvert.  I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but it looks like Tesla has run out of piss and vinegar on that.  Zero OTOH is playing ball with the existing structure to try to build a network.  Apples and oranges.
