The Olinia Uno is a planned six-passenger car that can travel up to 125 kilometers (77 miles) on a single charge. It is expected to go on sale next summer for about 150,000 Mexican pesos or roughly $8,500, according to a press release.

The car is designed for urban settings and has a top speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.

That's more than enough speed in an urban area. Safety is more important than speed.

Considering how.much people look at their phones instead of the road I think 30km/h should be the max in cities.

Most of Japan's cities are 20-30. There are some bigger, multi-lane roads that are 40 or 50. It kinda depends on road size, curvatures, and how residential the area is.
