#Cuba - #Solarpowered #tricycles help #Cubans navigate #FuelShortages and blockades

HAVANA (AP) — "Cuba’s iconic vintage cars have all but disappeared and in their place, small electric tricycles — most of them made in China — have become the primary means of transportation for hundreds of thousands of Cubans grappling with a prolonged fuel crisis.
These are no ordinary electric tricycles — many Cubans have outfitted them with #SolarPanels, allowing the vehicles to recharge without relying on the island nation’s strained power grid.

"The three-wheelers are a far cry from the old-timers that only a year ago cruised the streets spewing clouds of black smoke.

" 'This is how people get around now,' said 40-year-old Liecer de la Cruz, who owns one of these vehicles.

"The tricycles, with a cost between $2,000 and $4,000, are used to transport goods and serve fixed routes once covered by buses.

"While their price is out of reach for most Cubans, many have sold their older gasoline-powered cars to buy the tricycles. Others got them from relatives abroad, where they are generally cheaper, and some small-business owners even used their profits to invest in them, expecting to recoup the cost."

"In a staggering display of Orwellian Newspeak, Kremlin outlets now claim successful Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries are a sign of ‘collapse’ and ‘desperation’, while fuel shortages are apparently proof that victory is near. If that’s its definition of winning, Russia is indeed almost there."
