Do electric cars have a gearbox (an automatic one I presume)? Or
does the motor just run faster the faster you go? I was told by the
owner the optimum speed for economy of battery usage is about
55mph.

It doesn't sound like it's changing gear.


What do you folks think about the company Adomani, which goes public
tomorrow, with the symbol ADOM? I think their technology sounds
pretty cool and Ive been reading everything I can find about the
company recently, leading up to the IPO and Im pretty impressed
already.


I think you area scamming **** actually


Id really like to get into this one on the ground floor because I
have a strong feeling, based on the research Ive done, that this one
is going to take off shortly out of the gate. So Id be really
interested in hearing what others have to say about it.

You do that. Then i'll set fire to the cladding
