Electric vehicles are the most popular exhibits at the 9th International Forum Investment in Human Capital in Kislovodsk (Stavropol Region in the south of Russia).
Among
the exhibits are an electric bicycle, a scooter, a cargo tricycle, a
Lada Ellada hatchback designed on the basis of the Russian Lada Kalina
car, and a Mitsubishi I Miev minicar of an amazing futuristic design and
space-silvery colour.
The head of the Mitsubishi
electric vehicle project Sergey Sobolev says that the Stavropol Region
and the Caucasian Mineral Waters area in particular are interesting to
electric car manufacturers because the warm climate allows to take full
advantage of the accumulator performance. (original THE VOICE OF RUSSIA)
