Electric "It" Spotted Down On The Ann Arbor Street; Where's The It-amino?

Contrary to popular belief, you can in fact own a real full electric car. As proof, we found this thing parked on the street in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. Made by the Dynasty Electric Car Corporation, they call it the, err... It. Now, while it may only be classified as a Low Speed Vehicle, meaning you can only drive it on roads with up to a 35 MPH speed limit, there's one version of the It that's got us particularly excited.

That's right, an It-amino! Well, they call it the Utility, but who do they think they're kidding? We haven't seen this kind of eco-mullet awesomeness since we saw Daryl Hannah's Biodiesel El Camino. The only downside is that the ute costs $25,000... which is a lot to pay for an oversized plastic golf cart.

Are You Hosers Killing The Electric Car, Eh?

The Canadian government is taking heat for depriving its citizens of locally built electric cars. Specifically, the ZENN electric car being made in Quebec and being sold in the U.S. and Mexico is getting volt-blocked by the government. Transport Canada has been vague about their reason for not allowing the companies to sell their cars, so of course there are those who see it as a great conspiracy. Another electric car company, Dynasty, is moving out of Canada because of problems with the Government.

The Canadian Green Party has started a petition to get the cars approved, so we're sure that all of this will go away soon as the Canadian PM is totally BFF's with the Green Party. It makes us happy to live in a country where where the government encourages electric car companies like Tesla, or at least lets them take deposits for cars. [CBC]
