| Here in oregon the electric vehicles are severely restricted to 20 miles per hour and one can not get a license to drive them on the streets. in light of global warming this is a disgrace. people will not buy vehicles that are so severely restricted yet the government is bragging about how much it is doing for the country. i intend to keep looking for proper agencies to respond to this serious breach of trust to the citizens of this nation. i request a response in regards to what steps you can take and what help you might need from me. thank you, bruce burns ps: i had to choose a vehicle and zap car was not on the list so please substitute zap car for cooper (mini). *tr | |||
