Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I joined up here from the other EV communities on Lemmy because it seems some consolidation is going on. Now it's looking like there's a ton of posts all from one of the mods and it's literally overtaking my feed.

For example, the top "hot" posts are here are SIX in less than an hour.

I'm all about getting the community active and all that, but is this really the best method? Spamming links to Elektrek or Cleantechnica doesn't really spur much conversation. Is it possible to just slow that roll of link spam and work on fostering more discussion?

IMO there is a mismatch of users and articles posted. I assume most users are from the US and according to the IEA only 10% of Global EV sales are from there compared to 25% in Europe and 60% in China. This is the same issue you see in reddit on /r/electricvehicles , /r/cars or even /r/android.
