In a handful of countries.
- noahtallen 6y agoI can’t disagree with that. I feel like the EV conversation is centered on “richer” countries anyways because of infrastructure and tech. I’d be curious to learn how EVs are being approached in countries which are still developing infrastructure
- lanstin 6y agoThey have electric tuk-tuks already. I think batteries / electric motor are inherently simpler to operate, if not fabricate, than ICE so likely to be cheaper at the mass scale. Even solar + batteries + electric motor. And they scale up and down - you can tiny electric things and giant electric things.

I'd say EV are making inroads there exactly because of no infrastructure, and tech. In Vietnam, people choose electric scooters over petrol largely because their maintainance free nature, and no need for fluids, or waiting at petrol pumps. People like that they don't risk expensive, and lengthy breadown of their scooter when their job depend on it.
