I judge by looking at data, but I consider Vietnam the best proving ground for electric two-wheelers. Short distance, high frequency use is a good match for electric from a battery perspective. Once the difference in running costs versus gasoline becomes clear, the transition advances through household budget calculations, not emotion. The numbers back that up.

An electric shift in one of the world's biggest motorcycle nations is bound to influence other Southeast Asian countries too.

Air pollution control and fuel costs both pushing this along is the textbook pattern for an electric shift.
