The future of electric cars isn’t Tesla. It’s golf carts.

Millions of people in China are buying off-brand electric cars, which are cheap, tiny, barely regulated, and extremely useful.

I love everything about these except that there’s no safety testing, which seems like should be necessary somewhere in between that for a bicycle and that for a car. They’re so cute! They don’t contribute to urban air pollution! They’re so much more efficient than larger vehicles!

    I’ve been seeing reviews and such about cheap electric vehicles you can buy on Alibaba. I would love to spend $1k -$2k on a something like that, but the roads outside my house have speed limits that around 2x-3x their top speeds :(
