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.

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.


I've heard that it's complete and utter ****. Don't waste your money.

Seriously, do you think we're too gormless to spot such flagrant spamming?
