Have you seen electric cars?Actually I didn't. I guess there should be the whole infrastructure established before people would seriously consider buying electric cars. Also, people who lead oil industry do not need cutting their revenue so I believe they do what they can to prevent electric cars from massive entering Russian market.
But I have another piece of news connecting to high auto technologies. Yandex (huge IT-company in Russia) have bought two Tesla cars and integrated them into Yandex.Taxi service.
One of them have already gotten into an accident.
You can ask your question, too.
