1/12 This is an updated #EV #ElectricVehicle thread for 2020.

It includes current info on initiatives to create #SustainableSolutions using electric cars, trucks, buses, trains, bicycles and more for #transportation.

It also looks at #battery technology updates to support same.
3/12 Fighting #climatechange is a key reason to switch from ICE to EV:
