No one killed the electric car. In fact, you can get one today in Santa Cruz for about $13,000 after tax rebates. It may only go 25 mph and fit two people with room for groceries, but it still costs pennies a mile to drive and is one of the greenest ways to get around town.
The ZENN, short for Zero Emissions No Noise, is a Canadian-made mini-mobile that looks like a Matchbox car, drives like a go-cart and saves money like bar soap. And with the reopening of the Green Station on the corner of Soquel Avenue and Ocean Street, co-owner Bill LeBon is looking to turn the biodiesel fuel station into a ZENN dealership as well.
