Honda WN7

Honda's electric motorcycle is here. It's decent I guess but it's got DC fast charging capability. I never realize with a single sided swingarm changing the drive belt should be super easy.

Is "here" where? "Here" is not Europe, AFAIK, the WN7 only as CCS-2 DCFC, the USA is CCS-1.

I wonder if they will make a USA version. I think electric motorcycles sell better in Europe than here in the USA.

It has 11KW DCFC and 6.6 KW AC charging. That is what I like best about the WN7.

But by next year, I should be able to add DCFC to my 2023 Zero DSR/X. Some new CCS converter that Zero has designed for their otherwise too-low-voltage HV battery.

I am not sure whether they can add the extra 13 kW max AC charger at the same time. I will do both if possible, now that AC charge stations above 10KW are getting more common.

They have not yet released the KW specs for the DCFC, but by my reading between the lines, I will expect it to be around 15KW. But what matters to me isn't the speed; it's that I can charge up with either.
