 | EV's in Italy!posted by Bo Bennett, Group AdministratorWednesday, July 1st 2009 @ 1:02 PM |
I have been in Italy for about 1 month now (half way into my 8 week trip) and I have seen several EVs in the cities. Being in these cities where the roads are about as wide as a New York sidewalk, I see more potential for EV adoption here than anywhere, especially since I have only seen like two gas stations so far.
There seem to be a few Italian companies producing city EVs. Here is one I have seen most on the road: http://www.maranello4cycle.com/ . Due to Europe's "quadricycle" law, there are more on the roads here than in US where these cars really would be dangerous. However in these Italian cities, I would say more than 50% of vehicles on the roads are scooters, and SUVs are almost not existent.
Well, off to dinner! The food is awesome here!
