The future of transportation today

 * Miles is vaporware for now, and there's a lot of skepticism about their claims. And if ZAP is any measure of the quality of Chinese-built electric cars, I wouldn't hold my breath even if they did pull it off. -- Rei (talk) 19:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

History
The claim that electric Vehicles have the majority of the market under the History section needs a source.Parth Desai (talk) 00:51, 9 November 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parth Desai (talk • contribs) 17:50, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Electric vehicle
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Electric vehicle's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Global2mi": From Plug-in electric vehicle: ''An estimated 2,032,000 highway-legal plug-in passenger cars and vans have been sold worldwide at the end of 2016. The top selling markets are China (645,708 new energy cars, including imports), Europe (638,000 plug-in cars and vans), and the United States (570,187 plug-in cars). The top European country markets are Norway (135,276), the Netherlands (113,636), France (108,065), and the UK (91,000). Total Chinese sales of domestically produced new energy vehicles, including buses and truck, totaled 951,447 vehicles. China was the top selling plug-in car market in 2016, and also has the world's largest stock of plug-in electric cars.'' From Electric car: ''An estimated 2,032,000 highway-legal plug-in passenger cars and vans have been sold worldwide at the end of 2016. The top selling markets are China (645,708 new energy cars, including imports), Europe (638,000 plug-in cars and vans), and the United States (570,187 plug-in cars).

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:24, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

False information based on nothing more than a tweet
A blatant falsehood can be found in the History#Reintroduction section. It states that China launched the 1st bi-articulated bus in the world last April, which is obviously false seeing that those have been around for decades already. --SwissTHX11384EB (talk) 12:23, 20 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes it has now been awaiting a secondary source for over a year. The article is not protected so you should be able to correct it yourself. Chidgk1 (talk) 13:06, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Electric vehicle definitions section
I added the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle#Electric_vehicle_definitions section. The intention is to make it clear what the official definitions of electric vehicles are. I am finding more and more creative vehicle manufacturers passing off diesel hybrids as something more advanced. The only link I could find (after a lot of searching) was the one linked to but if anyone can find something more sophisticated I think that may be more beneficial. My current experience is that a particular hybrid bus is being passed off as a range-extended electric bus when it is solely powered by diesel, they define REEV as only supplementing the plug in power.

Request for independent editor
Hello, Due to my conflict of interest, I cannot create this article myself. I am requesting that an independent editor create the article instead. It's about Ecocar Motors, an EV hybrid US manufacturer, that is a young enterprise. I have the article ready and well written, according to Wikipedia guidelines. I can't add it because my relationship with the company is that I am an employee. Can someone help me with this? EllaAtEcocar (talk) 23:07, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello Ella! This isn't the right place to ask this but I will answer you regardless. Are you sure your company is Notable according to Wikipedia's criteria? I'd be more than willing to help you create the article, however I would much rather not waste my time trying to write an article that is doomed to fail. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 23:40, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear @Blaze WolfBlazeWolf
 * Ecocar Motors Company is a new automotive corporation that is emerging to become a leading manufacturer of three energy sources powered vehicles, utilizing hydrogen, solar, and electric advanced technologies.
 * As a new player in the automotive industry, Ecocar Motors is at the forefront of technological innovation and sustainable transportation. Our use of hydrogen, solar, and electric power is a remarkable feat and sets us apart from other traditional vehicle manufacturers.
 * By incorporating these advanced technologies into our production process, we are helping to pave the way for a cleaner and more sustainable future. Their vehicles have the potential to revolutionize the transportation industry, providing a viable alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
 * I believe this information plus what I have prepared, would be a valuable article on Wikipedia, as it highlights Ecocar Motors innovative approach to vehicle manufacturing and our commitment to sustainability.
 * Thank you for any consideration. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any further information.
 * Best regards, Ella EllaAtEcocar (talk) 00:37, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That doesn't answer my question whatsoever. Wikipedia does not care what your company has to say about itself. If you cannot provide me at least 3 reliable sources on your company then I won't try writing an article. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 00:40, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your message. We have some sources, but we have to track them back. So let's stay in touch. There are many different types of notable references that are considered good on Wikipedia, so according to you, for an automotive company, which ones would be the best? EllaAtEcocar (talk) 01:01, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Well I suggest you read WP:RS and WP:RSP ― Blaze WolfTalk<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545 01:07, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
