Electric carmaker headed for Phila.
A South Korean company intends to open facilities in Philadelphia and in the Pittsburgh area to assemble and distribute electric vehicles creating up to 400 jobs. CT&T makes e-Zones, low- and midspeed, short-distance "neighborhood electric vehicles" that pass crash tests required for regular passenger cars. The vehicles sell for about $12,000 each. Currently CT&T cannot import anything that can go faster than 25 m.p.h. Then there is the matter of where consumers can drive a low-speed vehicle with a range of 70 miles. Some states don't permit them on the road. Others allow them only on streets with posted speeds as high as 35 m.p.h.
