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.

My mom lives in an "active adult community" with a big golf course, so EVERYBODY has a golf cart. The speed limit is only 25, and the carts mix with the cars equally.

But in the last year or two, there have been these new, souped up models that go far faster than the speed limit. I'd estimate that these new carts are getting up to 40+ mph, maybe faster.
