ZENN Electric Car

Zero Emission No Noise is the meaning of the ZENN Electric Car - the vehicle presented by FeelGoodCars that doesn't have impressive qualities, besides being electrical. It has been getting some attention from the GreenPeace lovers and while the exterior/interior parts of the car have good quality and look good, in terms of engine specifications it must be one of the lowest on this category - only a five horsepower engine providing a maximum speed of 25mph (40Km/h) which makes it a VLSV - very low-speed vehicle. With this kind of power it's hard to go up the hills, tests show that in some situations the car can't even reach 15mph (25km/h). Make sure the hill you're trying to climb isn't far away, because when fully charged, the ZENN can only travel up to 35 miles - 56Km.



There will be 2 ZENN versions for sale on Canada and US - the basic that costs $10,000; and an upgraded version with radio, power windows, sun roof, air conditioner and more stuff that will cost $14,500. Will the ecosystem friends will love this car?



As a service, community or security vehicle, the ZENN offers more protection than door-less golf carts.
