Jay Funk Dawg Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Good news!The Ontario government says it is prepared to develop safety standards that could pave the way for the arrival of low-speed electric cars in the province.http://technology.sympatico.msn.cbc.ca/News/ContentPosting?newsitemid=electric-car&feedname=CBC-TECH-SCIENCE-V3&show=False&number=10&showbyline=True&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc&date=True Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Nice post James! I'm not sure if those are the standards they are talking about in the article!I checked into this further - costs about $18,500 and it only goes 56 per hour.might be good for city only use - but seems pretty limited that that.In the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car?" they suggested that the EV-1 made by Saturn could do upto 130 km/hr - but on only do 40-50 miles.It seems weird that the new technology is behind what they were able to accomplish in 1996.see link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
