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.

Their mass transit is great by any standard.
Commuter EVs are a step back. At a commodity price point, just take trains and buses.
They have some of the most heavily used rail stations in the world, but still a large chunk of the population has a car. 85 million cars registered in a population of about 124 million people.
