Kentucky looking into legalizing electric vehicles

Kentucky's Lexington Herald-Leader has a timely report on whether or not the state should allow electric vehicles (EVs) on state roads.

In an unusual twist on party politics, Republican state senators are the ones urging the Governor Steve Beshear - a Democrat - to sign the executive order.

The order would allow a ZAP electric-vehicle factory to be built and has the potential of employing "up to 1,000 people."

ZAP, as exposed in an excellent report by Wired Magazine (that Ecotravel News wrote about in March) was shown to be greedy charlatans who never delivered their promised cars and bled money from people opening dealerships.

Although EVs are an excellent thing to be approving and signing into law, especially by Republicans, Kentucky should really look into all the facts behind ZAP before making any decisions.
