Charging problem
If it happens to police cars, can you imagine how many problems would arise with a LiveWire?

Exactly... I do have an opinion on the whole topic as well...if you are not going to buy one, why does it matter? Get on your own bike and ride and stop acting like the new stuff is threatening your dreams...

I've said several times, if Harley is pissing off their traditional old fat white owners with the Livewire they are probably doing the right thing. Because their traditional market segment owners are dying off.
There really is not charging problem with the Livewire, you just have to plan charging into your ride, just like you need to plan gas stops into your ride. It's just easier to plan gas stops or wing them because gas stations are pretty much everywhere. There are apps and websites for electric vehicles to plan their drive, when and where to stop and they calculate the best places to stop and charge to minimize your trip time. Yeah the electrics take longer to charge, so what, plan your trip, stop and smell the roses while you recharge your bike.

So if you leave home and ride around for a while and then decide to crank on the throttle there is a good chance you will run out of power, just like there is a good chance you'd run out of gas

So the incident in the article is not a problem.
The charging problem that stopped production of the Livewire is something totally different and there are several threads already about it.

Well the "Charging Problem" that is written about in the article, which you obviously didn't read, is about a Tesla Police car, that started it's shift with half a charge and almost ran out of juice in a high speed pursuit. The cop got down to 6 miles of range with the chase ended. Had the car been charged before the shift began we wouldn't be reading about it.
So the incident in the article is not a problem.
