After a brief production hiatus due to charging issues, Harley-Davidson told The Verge that production of the electric LiveWire has resumed.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that H-D temporarily halted the production of their fully electric LiveWire, citing charging issues. However, this lapse only lasted about a couple days as on Friday, the company said that production had already recommenced.
In fact, the charging issue was discovered to only be a problem on one individual bike: “Temporarily stopping LiveWire production allowed us to confirm that the non-standard condition identified on one motorcycle was a singular occurrence.”
Since the approximately $30,000 (P1.5 million) LiveWire first went on sale last month, this hiatus caused a scare for new riders despite H-D promising that driving the bike is still safe. Evidently, there was little reason for concern.
This motorcycle is the first all-electric model by the iconic American motorcycle brand and is paving the way for H-D’s electrified future. Following the announcement of the LiveWire, the company has expressed interest in developing more battery-powered motorcycles as well as announced electric bicycle and scooter concepts. IB/JB
