Electric car maker:Ottawa blocking its sale in Canada

Source: CBC www.cbc.ca

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.

The two-seater is built in St. Jerome, Que., by Toronto-based ZENN Motor Company. It is roughly the same size as the Mini-Cooper, and would sell for approximately $14,000.

Stupid Steven Harper, friend of the oil companies.

[Duchyp]

The people that don't want them to be sold are in the pockets of the oil companies think about it

[dsspike51]

It's all about taxes; how many taxes apply to gasoline? How much of the cost of gas is tax? If you get the answers, to these questions, the question as to why ottowa is blucking the become clear.

@Duchyp You got that right.

[lighthammar]

the speed limits are imposed by the government, not the technology.

[lostinseganet]

They need to justify the bailout they just gave to the big 3.

Its called solar panels fuckhead. Ever think of getting some for free electricity or is it too hard to comprehend?

[fthrcast]

What would happen with these pieces of shit , if the power was ever out? You would turn it over in a ditch somewhere .

[fthrcast]

These are the dumbest cars to have ever been built if they don't meet current speed and safety standards. Meanwhile , people are saying that the speed limits need to be increased. Will people stop supporting people who would waste alot of money without even having had planned things through existant government legislations. That is exactly their way , do it yourself , then ask if it can be done when it's too late to make it happen.
