The Zenn automobile is an electric car made in Canada with sales of 200 cars in the USA for 2007.
The Zenn gets the equivalent of 245mpg and costs $12750-17600 if you are lucky enough to live where it’s approved for purchase.
Currently it cost approximately 80% less to fuel up a Zenn than a traditional car. This leads to less green house gas production and if your power is nuclear even less green house gases are produced. Along with the environmental benefits this car reduces dependency on middle eastern oil.
This car is made in Canada yet ironically only British Columbia has made it legal to sell in Canada. Which is an almost unthinkable reality for Quebec where it is actually produced, as the CEO Ian Clifford laments. I’m sure Mr Clifford is thinking of moving to another country to set up production every time he is forced to fill up his gas powered car in Canada. George Bush’s and local state legislature’s policies on the environment appear to be putting Canada’s and Quebec’s to shame.
