This is CES ?

I guess that CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is now also a vehicle show ?  I saw this IEEE Spectrum article on a motorcycle with a solid state battery:

isn't a battery more electric than electronic ?  :)

Verge is that company that makes a motorcycle with a hubless drive rear wheel - like something from Tron, mentioned before:

I didn't know they were in Estonia - about the only "tech" company I ever heard of from that region was Minox of Riga in Latvia.  Minox was famous for their "spy" cameras.  But apparently Verge of Estonia has beaten the bigs to a production solid state vehicle battery.  These batteries are close to the ideal: quick re-charge, long life, safe with the highest capacity.  Although not cheap at about $35,000 for the 370 mile range version of the motorcycle.
 

Previous mention of the only time I ever went to CES:

I don't remember seeing any cars at that show - I remember that that was the time period when car manufacturers were doing stuff like introducing synthesized voice to the cars for warnings and such - instead of bong-bong it would say: FASTEN SEAT BELTS PLEASE :)
