Standing for “Zero Emissions No Noise” ZENN Motorcars is a small but strong force in the electric car movement. Costing only pennies a mile to operate, ZENN’s three door hatchback is an excellent car for driving around your neighborhood. The car has a range of 35 miles, and a top speed of 25mph. It can be charged from any standard 110V power socket. The electric engine is remarkably cheap to maintain, lacking the need for oil changes and much other routine maintenance required by car. Even the brakes cheaper since they only see light duty as the car uses regenerative braking and travels at lower speeds
More than just a power system, ZENN has put together an excellent car. Comparing favorably to other automobiles, the car can come with heater, air conditioning, power windows, power locks, panoramic sunroof and many more great features. The tiny frame even includes an impressive 13 cubic feet of storage. All of this with a starting sticker price of $12,750 (base model). To top it all off, the car looks neat. While the hatchback makes it look more utilitarian than sporty, the stylish interior and good lines of the car will let you look as good as your conscience feels while you drive electric!
If you’re curious how much driving a car from ZENN might cost you, grab your most recent electrical bill (you’ll need to input your cost per kW to be accurate) and surf on over to their calculator here. This site will tell you what the cost of driving electric will be based on how much you drive in a week, and how much you might save depending on your circumstances.
Of course, one of the final questions to consider: where can I get a ZENN car? Well, you’ll need to check their website to find out. You certainly won’t find this at many standard dealerships, but you can find a retailer near here.
While it certainly isn’t suitable for a long trip through the country, a ZENN Motorcar can be perfect for a city dweller and fills a niche that the major automakers have yet to step into.

5 Reasons to Buy an Electric Car
1. Zero Air Pollution
ZAP stands for Zero Air Pollution. We believe electricity is the fuel of the future. With electricity to power our transportation, our world can tap into renewable resources like hydroelectric, solar, wind, or geothermal power; resources that lessen our environmental footprint. Furthermore, studies show that millions of electric vehicles can recharge at night using existing surplus electrical generation; a vast, virtually untapped resource.
2. Save Gas
Gasoline is a precious natural resource and vital to the world economy. ZAP vehicles use no gasoline and require no oil changes. Using less fossil fuel can help relieve our current energy shortages while ensuring that future generations can rely on the same inexpensive, useful, petroleum products that we all take for granted.
3. Save Money
Gas keeps getting more expensive. Imagine all the money you can save by ZAPPING to work every day, rather than driving your gas vehicle. The typical electric car costs a penny per mile versus ten cents per mile with gas. Electric bikes and scooters are even less expensive. Plus, electric motors have fewer moving parts, meaning fewer trips to the mechanic. If you live close to work, you can save thousands of dollars per year by replacing your car with a ZAP bicycle.
4. Save Time
Traffic congestion and parking shortages eat away at our busy days, but a ZAP vehicle can help you save time, especially in busy urban areas. ZAP bikes and scooters slice through traffic jams and finding a place to park your ZAP neighborhood car is a snap.
5. Help the Economy
Today, the majority of USA’s foreign trade deficit is attributed to imported oil. Using a ZAP vehicle will reduce our reliance on foreign oil. Furthermore, by investing in advanced transportation technologies, the USA can take the technological lead in offering energy efficient products that emerging economies around the world can use to build their own transportation infrastructures.
