The Olinia Uno is a planned six-passenger car that can travel up to 125 kilometers (77 miles) on a single charge. It is expected to go on sale next summer for about 150,000 Mexican pesos or roughly $8,500, according to a press release.
The car is designed for urban settings and has a top speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.
50 kmh isn’t much, even for city driving.

Hello from New Zealand.

Well yeah, but the reason I said it is that my city is on an isthmus and the easiest way to get from one side to the other is by highway.

India?

Sorry, I just mean that I heard people drive like absolute maniacs there.
People do drive like maniacs in many parts of India, but people don’t drive 50 km/hr in a city unless they have a death wish and enough money to pay a lot of traffic fines.

My best guess is it will be part of their public transport system. As an example, in Mexico City they have small vans that run up and down a hill but spend most of their time at the base of the hill waiting to go back up. They could charge for a bit while they wait at the bottom.
Car brain alerta… Car brain alert.
Speed limit in cities in Denmark is 50 km/h with many places being 40 or lower, so it would be quite relevant here
50 is higher than most people can drive in a city because of traffic.
Dublin city centre is 30kph limit.
Can it do 50 up a long gentle hill with 6 occupants or 50 on a flat well paved road, a slight tail wind and a jockey who just took a shit behind the wheel?
