Which is in Ethiopia
Which is in Africa.
Which is on Earth
Which is in the local cluster
Which is part of the Milky Way Galaxy
Is there a real name for the local cluster?
I think I was wrong, I think it’s actually called the Local Group. I don’t think the Local Group itself has a real name, but it’s part of the Virgo Supercluster.
..and that's surprising because...?
Actually, don't bother. I know the reason and it doesn't paint the author in a good light.
Surprising because it's a place not known for having up to date infrastructure nor for being particularly "technophile".
Shouldn't be too surprising because a lot of places that didn't have modern infrastructure tend to skip over intermediate steps when they do get to "catching up".
Mostly doing well because the gasoline infrastructure is piss poor, because gasoline infrastructure is much harder and more expensive than electric to get going.
Why the clickbait? Just put the place in the title.
Reminiscent of countries skipping over landline and jumping ahead to mobile broadband.
At my mom's house.
Not really surprising, several countries in Africa are all in on electric motorcycles and buses, it was just a matter of time for EVs to get more popular
