Rob Greenlee walks around the ZENN electric car, a small vehicle limited to 35 mph by government regulations that don't require crash-testing for slower cars. New battery tech and safety features coming within a year should unlock higher speeds and longer range.

Okay, what you just saw in the prior video was me driving the, the Zen electric car, zero emission electric vehicle. It's actually the Zen, Z-E-N-N, which means zero emission, no noise vehicle, which is very cool. And the car is really cute. It's really nice color. It actually looks like just a regular car, so nothing, nothing really fancy. And it is really kind of small. I guess one of the reasons that it's limited to such low speeds at this point is because the government regulates these things to mainly because they don't really support crash tests safely above the speed of about 35 miles an hour. So, so that, that's, that's the main reason why we're, we're seeing a lot of these vehicles just don't have much range and much speed. And it sounds like from what I was hearing from the dealer here that, that there's a There's coming in the next year or so better battery technology too for these vehicles. So we should see this stuff improving, and as they put kind of more what I would call kind of like crash roll cage technology in the vehicle, that we should see that speed increase. So signing off, I just wanted to show you the outside of the car, which the prior video only showed you the inside. So thanks for watching, bye-bye.
