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.

The Zenn vehicle is nothing but a glorified golf cart. Save your money and purchase a real vehicle. Don't expect to see a CityZenn powered by an EESTOR EESU...it's a scam. The latest patent that was approved was submitted in 2004.

Agree! In one year a flood of choices will start to hit the US shores. I'd much sooner get something like a REAL vehicle. The ZENN is NOT cheap and is simply too low powered at the present time to satisfy any REAL market.

Correction, latest patent issued 2 weeks ago (a new one). And what will you say if they happen to come up with a CityZenn?
Will you have the courage to say "I'm sorry, I was wrong and was a skeptic that is now convinced" ?
Beside, The Zenn and the CityZenn are 2 different types of cars. I'm sure anyone buying the Zenn knows what they are buying and this purchase is not link with the possibility of a CityZenn or not.

After I watched the video clip of Ian Clifford from 2007 interview on youtube:

I am glad I got rid of all my ZENN stocks. I have reached the conclusion EESTOR is a SCAM! If you watch the interview at the 4:35, Ian states he expects EESU from EESTOR "End of Calendar '07". Did he receive an EESU in 2007? NO! Is ZENN going to receive an EESU by end of 2008? No!
