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.

Really tough sell when there are cheap used EVs on the market. Bought my 2013 Nissan Leaf for <$5k, ~60 miles range (given degradation), >80mph. There are only going to be better options out there as time goes on and more used EVs hit the market.

the vehicle will initially be for use in private communities, resorts and golf courses

Oh.

from late summer owners will be able to install a kit upgrading their Topolinos to federally regulated Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs), allowing a speed of ‌up ⁠to 25 mph and access to certain public roads.

Oh.

Just get an e-bike then.

Just get an e-bike then. and if one has problems with ones balance, ones legs or ones hands. Some people can't operate a two wheeler. Is it a niche vehicle? Yes. However even niche vehicles have their place.
