Zero Emission No Noise: A Canadian Hidden Treasure

7 10 2008

I was looking around YT for Rick Mercer vids and came across this story from last season (I believe).

Its a Canadian-made electric car which like the name states has been tested to ensure zero emissions and is completely silent while running. Only the click as you turn the key tells you that the car is actually running and operational… very cool…. very weird…. and totally Canadian, but there is, however, a catch for Canadian wannabe owners… this car has not been fully legalized in Canada.

At the time that the this story was made the only province that had legalized this car was British Columbia. This is because the ruling of legalizing this car is up to the individual provincial governments and not at the federal level. To me this is a shame. I would have thought that this would be a worthwhile environmental initiative for Harper to jump on board with.
