While electrical vehicles are on the forefront of the industry revolution in developed countries, the majority of countries in Africa, Asia, and South America stand very little chance of significantly converting their transportation to electrical cars and reducing carbon emissions in the next several decades. However, a grand opportunity of a global proportion presents itself with low-speed vehicles (micro Evs), prominent in developing countries.

Converting low speed vehicles, such as 3-wheel popular bajaji (or Ricksha) and golf carts, to battery power is a historical opportunity to bring the electrical transportation to developing countries.

There are more than 250 million 3-wheel vehicles in developing countries. They are powered using internal combustion engines and fossil fuels (i.e., gasoline or compressed natural gas) and generate enormous amounts of carbon emissions.
