But is it good enough? This video doesn't make this system look so great:It's obviously not perfect, but clearly it's good enough to make the trip, which is awesome.
We also have Charlie and Ewan riding up on electric Harley's and a Rivian pickup.
These kinds of electric vehicles are only going to get better and better over the coming years, and it's not a question of if they'll be ideal for this kind of adventure, it's just a question of when.

I hope the Rivian system does well. The HD pigs are of no interest to me, but any motorcycle will require a charge source other than what it can carry, unless it's towing a sizeable trailer of panels. I can't stand Charlie, so I won't be watching whatever moronic behaviour he's up to on that trip.
Panel & battery tech is just starting to become affordable & efficient enough to make this type of travel possible. There's plenty of shortcomings, but it can be done. As cost, efficiency, and power density improve, it can only get better. I think it's more realistic to see EV campers string together routes with grid & solar charging options used, instead of solely running off solar.
