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.

Speed limit in cities in Denmark is 50 km/h with many places being 40 or lower, so it would be quite relevant here

Well apart from most of the major arteries and ring roads typically being 60 or 70 km/h in larger towns and cities... You are not going to be very popular puttering down "Ringvejen" at 50. The occasional tractor or other machinery causes enough bunching up as is...

hehe true, but I'm not saying people need to drive 50 on ringvejen.

I'm instead saying that 50 km/h is sufficient for many places (but not all) in cities.
