    The roundabout portion at the beginning of the video is a great demonstration how quiet a city full of EVs can be. It's a huge boon for people's mental health IMO and it's a benefit of EV that isn't talked about enough. One has to experience it firsthand to know how good it feels. Kudos for the video!

    “A" or "D" in the plate usually tells the city where these vehicles are registered. "苏A/Su A",Su represents the province of "Jiangsu" , "A" usually is the capital city of the province, in this case is the Nanjing City(Capital of Jiangsu).
