If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Wonderful. There is a VinFast plant coming to the USA, near where my family lives. It is typically a rural conservative area so this could help with buy-in as it creates local jobs.
Separately, I love see Southeast Asian companies and tech spreading globally. When I was a kid I hated the smog and pollution. And of course the negative stereotype of being SEA was hurtful for many reasons.
But when I became an adult I had an epiphany that when the petrol engines are gone, the "dirty" cities will suddenly become paradise to live in. And if the developing countries adopt this tech faster, maybe there is a future where the image of SEA cities and technology and the Global South in general are viewed with more prestige.
Anyway, optimistic story, I hope this works out.
