The founder of a Canadian-made, 100 per cent electric car says the federal government is blocking him from selling his cars in Canada.
The ZENN (zero emissions, no noise) electric car is already being sold in the United States, Mexico, and Europe, where it has won awards.
top speed is 25-35 mph its a glof cart.

It has more facists in power than Bush has.
THE Z ELECTRIC CAR IS IDEAL for Britiain we have such terrible road speeds that 20 miles an hour is average in most cities and towns now.
OF COURSE bRITAIN IS EVEN A MORE CRAP COUNTRY to live in with fuel at over £5 gallon and rip off insurance and road Tax.
Look what happens when you elect an idiot like Bush into office..... wait never mind. this is a Canadian problem. I'll just go back to watching baseball.

By JoseVargas666123 [Affiliate User] 1214448894 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei know progressive auto insurance won't insure an electric if it only goes 25 mph like an american brand called 'zap!'. with such a low speed they are considered golf carts by progressive. a model called the phoenix sut/suv progressive will insure though since it can go 95mpgh

By subach [Affiliate User] 1213634801 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewell this is all old news, ZENN has been passed by Transport Canada, its now up to the provincial governments. And ZENN will hopefully be launching cityZENN fall 2009 which will be able to travel up to 125 km/h (CND highway standard) and have traveling range of 400 km on full charge. Once this happens, governments will be more likely to accept the car, I can't wait! They are estimating the car to be between 25000-30000 dollars, very modest i think.
By filmdirectorluke [Affiliate User] 1213472782 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveCanada is one of the biggest suppliers of US oil and is making a fotune now. Need I say more?
And I thought the US was corrupt and a puppet of big oil!
Some Canadians think they are so superior and better than the US, well I guess the joke is on them now.
LOL
The US may allow those cars here, but the leadership here is just as corrupt and pathetic. Zenn would sell more cars here than they can possibly build, and I'd buy one myself, if only the car wasn't limited to 25 mi/hr. To be a serious product, the car's gotta be able to go 50 mi/hr, and the Big Oil lobbyists know it! So they have congress block the car with laws, pleading "not safe over 25". Hey, if I can to go buy a "dangerous" motorcycle, then I should be able to buy a 50 mph Zenn!!!
By donm8615 [Affiliate User] 1212789428 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveActually we have very evil people in power. It is not like I have to say why they are blocking him from selling his car here in Canada. One Word "OIL"

Get Terence and Philip on the case, they'll sort out those uncle fuckers!
After watching this I really believe we have idiots in power.

By CheekyMonkey888 [Affiliate User] 1212386251 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhat the government is doing is criminal. Harper is behind this! NDP, the Liberals, or the Bloc would never allow this to hapen, Canada is eliminating tis own products! Out with Harper!!! The new ZENN will hopefully be legal
By RobertKubica1121 [Affiliate User] 1212238407 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveTesla Roadster starting at 105000$, Tesla Whitestar Sedan starting at 50000$, GM Volt starting at 35000$, all those vehicles using Lithium-Ion thecnology...CityZENN at about 25000$ and using a more efficient ultracapacitor technology : I'll by ZENN for sure when it's coming out. It won't be considered a LSV, but a normal car (legal in Canada).
By the way, there will be a retro-fit kit to convert existing gas engine car to full electric car (still legal in Canada)
So F**k regulatory agency!
Unless something major has changed I believe that co gas is not a pollutant. Co gas is all natural and plants love it. They should after all, they breathe it. I'm all for reducing pollution but people are going brain dead.

By theoneagain [Affiliate User] 1205151461 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt has been proved that even if the electric car is charged with energy given from a coal plant it is better for the environment than a car running of natural gas.

By ahda81 [Affiliate User] 1204393087 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThis is a fuckin shame. No more support for the oil companies, I tell you that!
By Nichen [Affiliate User] 1204175335 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit can only go 35 miles max range with a top speed of 31 MPH????? Why would anyone EVER buy such a limited vehicle...
By strongboy2005 [Affiliate User] 1202339872 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe care isnt zero emission unless the source of energy used to create the electricity is also zero emission, which is not the case in most areas.
By jayrocpickle [Affiliate User] 1201685902 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI'll take one of those and a Tesla..shucks..why not?! Oil companies even got Canada by the balls..how sad.
