ZENN: Full Electric Vehicles On Sale Now
While the major car manufacturers are busily trying to release a model or two of plug-in hybrids in the next few years, the race is on between those companies that are already offering ZEV (Zero-emissions vehicles). While we wrote earlier of Miles Motors, another company, ZENN (Zero Emission No Noise), has been selling electric vehicles in the US, Canada, and Europe for several years. On par with Miles in terms of performance, ZENN currently offers cars that can travel at up to 35mph with a limited range. Both are running to bring a vehicle to market that can break the 60 mph and 60 miles per charge barriers for a sedan. Tesla Motors is also working to produce a family sedan with extensive range and performance, and so far they’ve done what none other has done before.
I’m pretty pumped to see the results in the next few years, as the competition should bring a lot of choice, presently non-existent, to the average consumer when it comes to buying a ZEV.
