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

It feels like a lot more but apparently it's 14% in my country.

I dream of us reaching 14%...

Well.... 4%...

Well... at least 2%...

Sigh.

I bet if you narrow it down to big cities the percentage will increase

Yes. I live in a wealthier area in a city and I see many EV's... but in terms of our national fleet they're almost a rounding error.

Yet just over the ditch to Australia and the place is teeming with them.
