electric cars

scout

Hi all,

My name is Drew and I live in beautiful Vancouver, BC.  Help me!  I've been trying to find an electric car that has been approved for use in Canada and I'm coming up empty!  From what I thought was a progressive country (and it is, just lacking in this area), I can't find anything that is available outside of the US.  Has anyone else has more luck?  I like the Phoenix cars (http://www.phoenixmotorcars.com) as they can do highway speeds, charge quickly, etc.

I hope someone can give me some direction!

Peace

Drew

Re: electric cars

seems this post has a bug in it. I see it posted twice and answered but it got lost.

Check the www.eaaev.org they have a Eelectric Auto Association chapter right in BC. I went to a great EV rally there a few years ago and they had super EVs.
