Zen Cars
Electrical cars have been around for years by the way. They were even on exhibit at the Place Boneventure in Montreal Canada over three decades ago and shown as relatively slow cars.
They were never popular probably because they required so much electrical power to operate, there was a lot of weight to pull and because of the marriage between the auto industry and oil based fossil fuels.
Today with the unpopularity of gas emissions on the streets, pollution and acid rain this type of car would be more popular today. Modern vehicles are also lighter in weight; and today they are still slower than the speed limit allows but this would be perfect for city travel since so much of the urban traffic is supposed to be slow with traffic anyhow. The Zen Car may even reduce road racing fatalities.
The current Zen manufacturer will eventually be able to have these on Canadian Provincial roads once he gets the go ahead from the provincial governments but it has been a long haul so far. One of the main reasons is the car's slow speed but maybe somebody can make a case at least for their use in the city core where there are many pedestrian crosswalks and make an exception for the highways.
In the meantime the Zen Cars are running well outside of Canada in other Countries.
