How electric vehicles will redefine geopolitics

Jul 10, 2019

Electric cars are driven in a motorcade as part of the "Sharing Copenhagen / Copenhagen European Environment Capital 2014" campaign, along the Oresunds Bridge, which links Denmark and Sweden, September 21, 2014. 130 electric cars on Sunday participated in the motorcade to promote sustainable and green transportation, and in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the most number of electric cars in a parade. An international day of action on climate change saw events held in 166 countries on Sunday, ahead of a United Nations climate summit in New York on Tuesday.
