Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

It's plenty for most cities in the world.
I know in the US everyone's driving at 120mph through tight city streets while shooting children, but the rest of the world isn't like that.
Hello from New Zealand.
Hello from Vietnam.
So I guess New Zealand also like charging all over the place at speeds more likely to kill pedestrians?
TBH the only city I've been in where most of the traffic is at over 50mph is Singapore, and that wasn't a good thing.
Well yeah, but the reason I said it is that my city is on an isthmus and the easiest way to get from one side to the other is by highway.
ok, I'd say to try doing a typical journey including a bit of the highway, but cap your speed ... and see how much time difference it really makes.
Most people here are chilled about getting to work at 30-50kph, it's a mindset.
India?
Are you asking if people in India go fast, or if I'm in India?
Sorry, I just mean that I heard people drive like absolute maniacs there.
People do drive like maniacs in many parts of India, but people don't drive 50 km/hr in a city unless they have a death wish and enough money to pay a lot of traffic fines.
Ah ok, yes that is the case, but a lot if its from the lack of written rules of the road that actually get followed, the state of disrepair of the vehicles, plus the state of some of the roads ... rather than the all-out speed people are going at
