Hopefully the EU will manage to set a swappable #EVbatterypack standard for the amazing lineup of #Indiamotorcycle.

Because it's one of the most form constrained things to put a battery in, an 8kwh and 4x8kwh form should be optimized for a touring bike's shape.
A quick review of #India_motorcycle show them with decent speed and range even at <4kwh #EVbatterypack size, though more powerful #touringbike have up to 16kwh... vs the top Verves 600km range on 33kwh.

This is the market to watch for the hand #batteryswap.
While we see some standards emerging at 0.5kwh #ebike, 2kwh #escooter #batteryswap none is global yet. The long life & decent support of ~128kwh 4-wheeler #EVbatterypack suggests it's not gonna tip there.
What's clearly lacking is for ~8kwh urban moped, ~32kwh urban delivery &:touring motorcycle.
#EVbatterypack standards now cover 512kwh median fairly well with #Qijin

128kwh median could be #Naxtra, but with long lifespan this is more likely driven from bottom up: by existing 0.5 to 2 kwh #ebike and soon by 8 and 32kwh #motorcycle #batteryswap stations.

#ZincAir #AuminumlAir #ironAir #battery rely on cheaper materials, thus promise to augnent #sodiumion, #lithiumion & #ZincSulfur chemistries or #ThermalStorage.
#EVbatterypack standards now cover 512, 128, 32, 8, 2, 0.5 kilowatt levels fairly well, via #batteryswap.
The problem is that America exists at all.
GM, Ford, Stellantis nameplates all only belong on #CATL #BYD #Honda chassis with standard #EVbatterypack.
None of this matters. #CATL & #BYD matter. Maybe #KiaPV5 and #KiaPV3 and #KiaPV7.
#Honda small #EVbatterypack standard matters.
#V2G and #V2H motivate every #resilientcommunity to adopt EVs faster.
With #Naxtra #Qiji and other #sodiumion #EVbatterypack standardized, good to -70C, the bidirectional #EVcharger has become #coldtech.
Every #ArcticBuilding eventually, but each #ArcticHub certainly, starts with this.

#KiaPV5 way better deal, more modular, cheaper. Not sure if it will have #Naxtra batteries as an option or #Qiji swapping, but someone working with #CATL will. I hope #KiaPV7 has these heavy duty and more standard #EVbatterypack options.
Or maybe they'll do a PV9.
