mmm, pillon seat is good...
Actually, it looks like the pillion option uses the standard seat, but adds rear pegs and additional bracing.
http://media.zeromotorcycles.com/press-2012/small/s/location/2012_zero-s_action-03_1680x1200_press.jpgCan chain up to 4 chargers for a 2 hour charge.
Yeah... sorry but that just seems crazy. 4 chargers, but depending on the electrical service in your house, it's pretty likely you'd have to have these plugged into different circuits. Or hire an electrician to install a plug with the required amperage. Each charger costs $595... so $2,400 + an electrician. Yeah, I may be an "unsubstantiated fanboy" but this just seems like a sloppy way of trying to appease the recharge-time-critics. Wonder what that's going to do to the battery life.
Good question re: battery life. 0.5C isn't terribly quick, so hopefully it should have little impact.
You absolutely would need separate circuits for each charger. Stringing four chargers together is kind of a hack, but it's better than no option at all. You have one charger on the bike itself, so the upgrade cost for the 3 extra chargers is $1800 + whatever cost to have 4 separate circuits run in close proximity. Costs about the same as other quick charge options (Leaf, Volt, Focus EV).
Also, the J1772 option from the 2011 bikes is gone. I wonder if they're working on a true AC level 2 charger integrated into the bike.
Revolutionary new battery technology will allow you to travel up to 308,000 miles on the original power pack
notice they don't say what the percentage of original range and functionality of the battery is at the end of that "up to" number...it just says that the battery will last for 308,000 miles...of course you might only go 14 feet after 8 hours of charging 
Zero lists in the specs that it's 300k miles to 80% capacity. Realistically, the battery will degrade over time and you will probably replace the battery around year 7-10 well before you hit 300k miles.
Brammo needs to counter Zero with an email to pre-order customers about their plans for new model production in 2012.
...
That chassis sure doesn't look big enough to enclose a battery with twice the capacity of their current version. I would really like to know more about the battery technology and how they got the additional energy density and much longer estimated life. It seems like too big a jump to me. 
I agree on both points. I'm curious whether the bike is wider.
Let's hope Zero gets these bikes out in February as promised. Put some heat on Brammo : )
