I think the bigger problem is that the rider covers more of the era; if you were able to get even 1.5kW off a small vehicle like that just leaving them outside

I think the bigger problem is that the rider covers more of the era; if you were able to get even 1.5kW off a small vehicle like that just leaving them outside would likely be enough to recharge enough battery for the journey back (if living close enough).
...but having electric bike/scooter just connected to charger is far more practical way to do it
- adolph 3y agoYes, integrating an energy capture device is not optimal for many/most use cases. A vehicle operating within civilization is better served by having means to receive and store energy. Of energy storage mechanisms, chemical seems more advantageous than kinetic or pressure. From there the question becomes one of ionic or covalent. Covalent has a higher energy density, which is why tanks of hydrocarbons are so ubiquitous.
