I read this post recently questioning why electric car’s are so successful in India but not in the US or Europe. I think there are several reasons:
- Having driven in Indian Cities myself, the pace is slow to say the least. This lends itself to small economical cars that can squeeze down narrow lanes and between cars.
- Europeans like size. In europe we measure everything, torque, CFC, MPG, Top speed. Electric cars currently can’t compete with their fuel guzzling counterparts.
- Most importantly, electric cars, currently just aren’t sexy enough.
