$1100 to ship to 37075 by Monday 8/19?

That's unfortunate, though not quite as dire as the charge speeds Tesla shows. We got by for the first few months with a NEMA 5-15 (moved shortly after purchasing the 3). The grid is closer to 125V here, which was just enough to bump us up to a displayed 5 mph with a 3 LR. Really closer to 4.6...

The kW charge rate is pretty close to instantaneous - it may be an average of a small window for smoothing purposes, but the window is measured in seconds not over the entire session. As an example, see this video of a P100D supercharging: The charge rate (kW) ramps up too quickly for it to...

It seems like the article is talking about Mission Motors, not Mission Motorcycles.

Zero could build a 200 highway mile bike today using its current technology - 8 modules and a fairing would take it the distance. And if Zero and Tesla worked out a deal, it could charge 20% to 80% (120 hwy miles) in about 25 minutes at any Tesla Supercharger station. It'd be a bigger bike than...

Asphalt & Rubber has some news that makes me feel a little better. Mission Motorcycles Becomes Mission Electric, Boats Cars to Come, Mission R/RS Motos Delayed Until Q2/Q3 2015

Here's what I don't understand. Mission Motors designed the 2011 Mission R racebike and (I believe) the motor, motor controller, and battery system. They sell power trains and power train design expertise to OEMs (including Honda CR-Z prototype and Harley-Davidson Livewire prototypes). They...

Any update from Mission?

Burton has a design for a 12 kW AC charger for his 2013 S (around 25 pounds, $2500) that would accept either one high amp J1772 or two 30 amp J1772. Charges about as fast as CHAdeMO, and obviously there's a great many more J1772 stations than CHAdeMO. JuiceBox Open Source L2 15KWatt Charger

Interesting. Half of my travel is between Nashville and Birmingham (190 miles, no SC access planned along route) and half between Nashville and Atlanta (230+ miles). Trips to Birmingham would be no problem with an overnight charge, and there are some CHAdeMO stations on the way (Huntsville, AL...

Well, also a slipstream fairing. The Lightning bike is very fast - and rightfully the two-wheeled king of the hill at PPIHC - but I get the feeling it's not exactly productized yet. It doesn't help that we still haven't seen the official street fairings - over a year and a half after...

The supercharger network won't be ideal for the Mission R - at least for some time - because the chargers are spaced for 85 kWh cars, not 15 kWh bikes. There is a Tesla adapter for CHAdeMO, but it's rather bulky to carry on a bike. I think the better plan is to support either CHAdeMO or J1772...

TL;DR: I estimate my personal usage will be 20-30 half hour charges/year Here's what my typical yearly trip routine looks like: 80-100 mile trips (160-200 miles round trip) 1-2/month 150-180 mile trips (300-360 miles round trip) 6/year 300 mile trips (600 miles round trip) 2/year...

The 15A reading is battery-side DC @ 100V, so about 1.5 kW DC delivered. The 3 kW onboard charger can deliver 25 A at most level 2 EVSE. What does the charge button on the HPWC do?

Hard to say - there's little historical precedent to go by. Past EVs have been restricted to leases or extremely limited sales - EV1, RAV4 EV, Ranger EV, etc. I believe some RAV4 EV owners have replaced the packs, but I'm not certain Perhaps the best precedent for large-ish-format battery...
