I am really not a #car person. But I have earlier in life always liked the #Saab brand when it was alive. There for I was a bit surprised to see what the old remains of the company, in the form of #NEVS, have created. The #EmilyGT prototype makes me curious.

China will extend its preferential purchase tax policy for new energy vehicles (#NEVs) to the end of 2027 http://xhtxs.cn/JkU

#NEVs driving up sales growth in the country.

Vehicle sales, especially those of new energy vehicles, in #China picked up speed in March after a sluggish start in the first two months of 2023, bolstering the confidence of carmakers and analysts in the world's largest vehicle market.

Obviously, to some extent, EVs are better than ICEVs, but in this case, "slightly better" has taken the place of real solutions.

I am in favor of low-power, low-speed, short-range #NEVs (neighborhood electric vehicles), #motorcycles, #ebikes and #emobility devices.

I am not in favor of #EVs meant as a 1-for-1 replacement for #ICEVs, with 500+ Km ranges and 100+ Km/h speeds.

It is the speed, range, and cargo capacity of motor vehicles which is the real problem, not their fuel.
