Can ZENN be the "Intel Inside" of EVs?

Can ZENN become a major player in the EV world? Is this a story green investors can buy?A ZENN electric vehicle

I've been following the ZENN story for the last few years, but I've always felt that ZENN was forever destined to niche player, such as EVs for university campus workers. However, CNET has a pretty interesting piece about how ZENN wants to become the "Intel Inside" of electric vehicles.

Could ZENN become an expert on electric drives, batteries and ultra-caps. That remains to be seen, especially since many of the major automakers are taking on this task internally.

As a green investor, I'm not sure I yet buy this story.

The end of the internal combustion engine: ZENN, EEStor, and Ultracapacitors

ZENN ready to shock the world, literally?

When I was at HybridFest, one of the most interesting vehicles on display was this little electric vehicle from ZENN. Still, it was hard to imagine that such a tiny vehicle could be successful.

Well, what if it achieved 500 miles of electric energy with just a 5 minute charge? What if it meant the end of ALL electrochemical batteries? The end of gasoline?

Finish: The end of the internal combustion engine: ZENN, EEStor, and Ultracapacitors
