On June 29, 2023, Finnish electric motorcycle maker Verge Motorcycles officially announced plans to use Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) charging network to power its motorbikes. That makes it the first electric motorcycle maker to adopt the standard, alongside fellow EV (but non-motorcycle) manufacturers Ford, General Motors, and Rivian.
While many EV owners charge their vehicles at home, access to chargers that fit your vehicle when you’re traveling can be a challenge, particularly for electric motorcycles. Although energy density characteristics and battery technologies have improved over time, the fact remains that electric motorcycles have smaller available ranges than four-wheeled electric vehicles in 2023—and thus, will find themselves in need of a top-up more frequently.
