I think the problem with doing it for cars would be the size and weight of the batteries.
With bike batteries they could keep the weight down to say 30 lbs per battery module and have multiple modules in a bike, small scooters one or two modules, something like a base model Zero three or four modules, Sport bikes six modules, and a bigger touring bike having eight or ten.
