I'm all for electric power, but there is one issue that is always avoided.
Cars, yes, motorcycle, probably, but what about large commercial vehicles.
Artic lorries, buses, and so on.
It's one thing powering a relatively lightweight car, but how about a fully loaded 40 tonne lorry.
Presumably, Norway plans to ban these vehicles too, which means bye bye public transport and international deliveries.
This is BS.
We are nowhere near 10 years off the technological progress required to power all vehicles from the plug.

Best they start building a few more power stations soon to cope with all the charging!

I was in a session with one of the OEMs earlier this year and they're planning for the internal combustion engine to be defunct by 2050...

Does make me wonder what we'll do with our bikes - hopefully I'll still be riding then!
