Re: Car for Tree Huggers
Come one and come all… get your fix and gooo gooo gaga gaga over this slow poke of a car. The future has arrived for you
BBC NEWS | Technology | Building cars for 'tree-huggers'
Based in Toronto, The Zenn Motor Company, has started to produce the Zenn, or Zero Emission No Noise car.
The $12,500 (£6,250) car runs entirely on electric power and unlike the Prius uses no petrol whatsoever.
“You get an extension cord that comes with the car and you plug it into any household outlet,” explains Tom Bevilacque, owner of Amenia Motors in upstate New York, which sells the Zenn.
That charge will get you about 50-65 km (30-40 miles) and costs about 50 cents (25p).
My favorite part …drum roll please
But it has a top speed of 25 miles per hour (40km/h)
ask the ullu kay pathay about the source of energy for electricity. Unless there is a clean renewable source, wind, solar, wave… then all you are doing is taking energy from coal or gas fired plants, and then running your car with it.
