For years, it was assumed that concerns about the charging network were the sole reason why Tesla was seeing such runaway success. After all, Tesla had successfully convinced its customers that its cars and charging network came with almost no compromisesthat they could be used just like gas vehicles. And if other EVs couldn't offer the same experience, they were essentially destined to fail.
The WN7 arrived in Europe with minimal fanfare, no grand reveal event, just a quiet launch that belies how significant this bike actually is. Honda's first real attempt to challenge the likes of Zero, Energica, and LiveWire has been paying attention to what works and what doesn't. The WN7 doesn't try to be revolutionary; instead, it aims for something arguably harder: making electric motorcycles feel normal, desirable, and ready for everyday riders.
The Model S is among the most crucial developments in the automotive industry in the last century.

It's a funny-looking acronym that is short for extended range electric vehicle. While shrouded in mystery to the average person, marketing managers and bigwig executives see EREVs as the future of driving. The recipe is simple.

You get a familiar user experience, way less range anxiety, and hopefully even fewer emissions.
