Zenn car - a 100% electric vehicle made in Canada but not allowed to be sold in Canada

Thanks to MiaMoon Leslie for this story!

Hi everyone,

Here's the website for Zenn, a zero emission, 100% electric vehicle made in Canada that can go 60 km after charging from a regular outlet for four hours and is not allowed to be sold in Canada because of federal low speed vehicle legislation.

They're very nice looking cars and there are a couple of videos to watch about them. They're relatively cheap - $12,000 to $14,000 US I think. Please pass this on to more Canadians to help get the word out if you care about our environment and alternatives to gas-powered vehicles in the city!

Hit the jump to sign the petition to try and get the government to allow these to be driven in Canada, if you're interested, but I thought also this would be good for all Canadians to know about.

Leafy Green's Tip of the Day Pressure cookers use 50 - 75% less energy than cooking in a normal saucepan, plus they cook food faster! Pressure cookers used to be really popular in the 70's and 80's for their convenience, but were quickly replaced by the microwave. Maybe it's time to bring this ultra-efficient cooking method back into fashion?
