Overview:

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.

We're having more and more electric buses in our town. It's beautiful. They are so quiet. So much better for noise and air pollution.

Jealous here. Recently visited an area with major incentives for EV and cycling and it’s so refreshing. The air is cleaner.

They sound like trains with the light whine as well, love them

The electric buses are pretty nice. Columbus, Ohio, USA has some from New Flyer, and they're a lot quieter than the deafening natural gas buses. The US has virtually no competition for bus makers though, so I'd be interested to experience some of the European or Chinese ones. Never going to happen here though...

The technology will eventually be available to every manufacturer. I think the main problem is Trump who does everything to prevent the switch to electric vehicles.
