A quick look a what's new in e-mobility other than traditional EV's!
For fun:
The Evolve electric skateboard weighs 13 pounds and can go 11 miles on a charge. Check it out for your e-ollies and e-grabs.

For safety:
The LAPD keeps electrifying with a new fleet of custom electric bikes, following its adoption of 100+ EVs and some electric motorcycles. The e-bikes can go up to 28 mph, faster than even Usain Bolt, so nobody's getting away from them on foot.

Three powertrains, two of which are hybrid - a 2.0T with 8-speed automatic in RWD (carryover from the previous generation I believe?), a 2.5 NiMH hybrid with single-stage hybrid system in RWD or AWD (new engine (same as the new Camry/Avalon Hybrid), but I think carryover transmission from the previous 2.5 liter hybrid system?) with 223 system hp, and a 3.5 Li-ion hybrid with multi-stage hybrid system in RWD (same as in the LC and LS 500h) with 354 system hp.

VOLVO PREDICTS SHORTER RANGE EVs
Volvo predicts that we’re soon going to see electric cars with shorter driving ranges, not longer ones. Volvo’s head of R&D, Henrik Green, says people have range anxiety today because there are not enough public fast-charging stations. That’s why they want EVs with longer range. He says once fast-charging stations become common, car buyers will wonder why they’re spending so much money on bigger batteries and lugging all that extra weight around all the time. He says a 50 kilowatt-hour battery will be ideal. That would provide around 200 miles of range. Henrik Green says EV owners do 95% of their charging at home so they start out every morning with their maximum range available.
Strangely I can agree...
