These cars are carbon positive in most cities as they increase pollution. These slow moving vehicles are slowing down traffic behind them. I see similar vehicles in and around my city in India and they end up clogging the lanes. As most of us are on ICE vehicles, we end up spending more time driving and increasing pollution.
- upofadown 4y agoWhat is the speed limit in your city? Most gas cars are most efficient at something like 60 kmh. This thing goes 45 kmh. So not that much difference for efficiency[1]. After all, we are talking about a vehicle that is only 20-30% efficient to start with.

- troysk 4y agoUpto 100kmph is fine I guess but traffic hardly allows it. That 45kmph is without any load I would assume. Once you add load and real world fiction the slows to 25/30kmph.
