The Little Electric Zenn Car

The founder of the Zenn Motor Company is Ian Clifford from Toronto, Canada.

He originally named it Feel Good Cars Inc. I kind of like that name a lot, but later he changed it to Zenn for the reasons explained above.

Since its initial public offering at 15 cents in 2005, on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the stock has
increased to $3.84 as of this writing.

What I find promising in this little car is that battery that was developped by EEstor, a Texan enterprise with terrific possibilities.

As a matter of fact the two companies have signed a contract that grants ZENN worldwide exclusive rights to use EEStor's solid state technology in electric cars mid-size and smaller.

Which could become immense as around 40 million cars are sold yearly in the whole world in this size.The Company also acquired a global license to all aftermarket conversions of any internal combustion passenger vehicle to electric drive.

Right now, the Zenn car is sold mostly outside of Canada due to some "slow" thinking from the canadian official electorate.

This little car is a cutie, isn't it?

There is a very interesting article on the GreenPacks website about Google working on smart charging for electric vehicles. A must read for green thinkers.Photo and Article

McDonald's is trying to get green.

The food giant is opening a new restaurant where drivers of electric cars will be able to plug them in and charge them while eating their meals.

I wonder how many little Zenn cars are going to be spotted there at lunch time?

It would be wonderful if more cities follow the example of Lake Oswego and install plug-in stations .

And even better if more people start buying and driving those small electric cars.

What a domino effect it would be for getting rid
of those exorbitant gas prices.

Instead of an engine, a bank of batteries fills the space under the hood of a Zenn electric car.

can save by driving a Zenn compared to a gas driven car.Photo
