Ian Clifford — founder of Toronto-based, Zenn Motors — has taken a lead role in the production of Canadian electric cars. The Zenn — or Zero-Emission-No-Noise car — is a 100% electric vehicle that travels at a regulated maximum speed of 40 km/hr — and can travel about 60 kilometers on a single charge.
It has an energy consumption equivalent to 245 mpg — and is 80% recharged in only 4 hours. Using a ZENN instead of a conventional car could eliminate over 6 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere each year.
The car uses a plug that fits into a regular wall socket and each charge adds only about 35 cents to the average electricity bill.
But, even though the car is for sale in over 40 US States, bureaucratic hurdles continue to prevent its approval for sale in Canada.
At $14,000 - the Zenn could be exactly what Enviro-conscious consumers have been looking for.
Recently, Al Gore lent his support to the company. Hopefully, legislation will change so that these cars can be sold in Canada.

He was tall, looked fit in his spandex bicycling gear and — the reason we were a bit nervous — he was glaring at the little silver roadster with distaste. Had we inadvertently forced him off the road on one of our passes while photographing the electric-powered 2008 Tesla Roadster? No. His problem, it turns out, is that the car is “too quiet.” The Tesla, clean and silent but for the hiss of tires on asphalt and the whine of the electric motor’s cooling fan, disturbed him because he didn’t hear it coming as we scooted by him on a twisty section of Skyline Boulevard in the mountains above Tesla’s headquarters in San Carlos, California.
