Dynasty IT

Dynasty IT

The Dynasty IT is a Canadian electric car produced by Dynasty Electric Car Corporation. It is designed to qualify as a neighborhood electric vehicle, primarily made for urban, recreational and light commercial markets. [cite web |title=Dynasty Company Profile |url=http://www.itiselectric.com/section.asp?catid=65 |accessdate=2008-03-28 ] It is available in five different variants including a sedan, mini pick-up, van and two open air versions. The North American version has a range of up to 30 miles (50 km) and does not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h). Most models have a curb weight of 1450 lb (653 kg).

North America

Use of the vehicle is currently legal as a low-speed vehicle (LSV) in 47 US states and the Canadian province of British Columbia. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation is currently running a [http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/vehicle/emerging/ pilot project] to determine whether battery electric vehicles are safe to operate on public roads. Begun in 2005, the project will run for 5 years; although it allows two- and three-wheeled "e-bikes" to use public roads during the trial period, it permits four-wheeled LSV's like the Dynasty only in provincial and municipal parks and conservation areas.

A version of the car appears on the American Sci-Fi Channel TV series Eureka. For the show's purposes, it is covered with photovoltaic cells to appear to be a solar-powered car.

Europe

According to the United Kingdom's Battery Vehicle Society, two versions of the Dynasty were imported to the UK for testing purposes in the Summer of 2007. The UK versions of the car are to have a higher top speed, 35-40 mph (55-65 km/h), putting it in direct competition with the G-Wiz and the NICE car company.

Pakistan takeover

In April 2008, Dynasty IT was bought by a Pakistani auto company, and the manufacturing facilities are in the process of being shifted to Lahore, Pakistan. The facility in Pakistan will have vehicles available for purchase as early as the end of 2008.
