> If you live on an area with electrified rail transit (which is where we ought to be going) but effectively no EVs that's surprising. Where is this? Rio de Janeiro. Off the top of my head, we have Supervia (commuter rail, overhead catenary), Metrô Rio (subway, third rail), Corcovado train (touristic train, AC overhead catenary), Santa Teresa tram (tram, overhead catenary), and VLT Rio (tram, APS third rail). I know there are some EVs (I've seen it in the news a couple of years ago, there were something like five EVs in the whole city), but I've only seen one personally once (I believe it was a BMW i3). The bigger issue here is IMO still price - and all EVs are AFAIK imported, which makes them even more expensive.
