As an Indonesian, I am kinda surprised to see at least like one or two EV each day in Jakarta and Surabaya, especially when EVs here are still considered expensive cars.
I am also surprised seeing more EVs than hybrid cars here
Considering I can’t look at one and tell in most cases, probably a lot more than I think. I know one person in the apartment complex Iive in has an EV because I see how at night they have it plugged in and I know the instructor for the college club I’m in has an EV that I’ve been in a few times, but otherwise it would have to be something distinct enough looking like a tes|a or cybercrime against design… I mean cybertruck in order for me to notice. So definitely an increase from a few years ago when I didn’t live near anyone with one nor had ever really been in one.
US and in a fairly big city, if that matters.
Edit:
City public busses were/are(?) going electric, starting maybe a couple years ago I think. Don’t know how many have switched, but pretty sure I might have been on one and they’re really not too different from their non-electric counterparts in mind from a rider perspective.
