Electric car maker charges Ottawa blocking its sale in Canada

The Zenn can do more than 40kmh, but the laws restrict it's limit. To make matters worse each province sets this limit individually.

I hear there's already a kit available online that allows you to alter the car's computer program which sets the 40kmh limit to something higher.

They claim to have a highway capable version that may be ready next year. Hopefully provincial laws will allow them to go faster, they are 10 times safer than scooters capable of driving 100kmh.

B.C. looks like it's warming up to the Zenn, now allowing sales. Why Quebec hasn't already is a mystery, I think the tie up had to do with some federal regulations just passed.

If I could drive 65-75kmh that would be plenty for city driving and I'ld buy it in a heartbeat. The Feds are destroying another 'Arrow', if they don't back this company soon they will go to Mexico. Staff, GreenCarsNow.com

I guess no one remembers the acid rain that comes from coal generating plants. Just imagine all the extra coal generated energy required for these types of vehicles. And for those that talk the nuclear talk, just a little info for you nuclear power generation is less efficient than coal, and has the added bonus of a by-product that has a half life of thousands of years, can poison land and water supplies, and can make areas uninhabitable.
