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.

As an Indonesian, I am kinda surprised to see at least like one or two EV each day in Jakarta and Surabaya, especially when EVs here are still considered expensive cars.

I am also surprised seeing more EVs than hybrid cars here

Considering I can't look at one and tell in most cases, probably a lot more than I think. I know one person in the apartment complex Iive in has an EV because I see how at night they have it plugged in and I know the instructor for the college club I'm in has an EV that I've been in a few times, but otherwise it would have to be something distinct enough looking like a tes|a or cybercrime against design... I mean cybertruck in order for me to notice. So definitely an increase from a few years ago when I didn't live near anyone with one nor had ever really been in one.

US and in a fairly big city, if that matters.

Edit:

City public busses were/are(?) going electric, starting maybe a couple years ago I think. Don't know how many have switched, but pretty sure I might have been on one and they're really not too different from their non-electric counterparts in mind from a rider perspective.
