ZENN (zero emmissions, no noise) electric car made in Canada
only goes 35 miles on a charge, plugs into regular wall socket. Great short film about it.

6. Top speed 25 mph, 35 miles on a charge?
Sounds like an electric golf cart. Don't misunderstand, I love electric golf carts, but I guess I'm not seeing the innovation here.

7. Unsafe to drive until most everyone else has one, too.
If I tried to drive that and got hit by and SUV - or, hell, a sedan, my kids and I would be flattened.

At least it doesn't totally look like a bubble.

BTW, why DO they make all these green cars look like a bubble? It seems they would get better mileage - gasoline or otherwise - if they were more aerodynamic (and, while soap bubbles can float on air, metal "bubbles" are more wind resistant, thus using more torque to pull).

8. I want one--I never drive more than 35 miles anyway
My local food co-op sells them, but first I have to run the old car into the ground.
