Would you be in favour of converting our roads(highways) to support a 'low-speed vehicle / electric car' lane?

I'm done with high gas prices and would like to purchase an electric car. Even though Canada produces low-speed vehicles, the government says they are not safe for our roads and therefore even though they are made here in Canada, I cannot purchase one. Perhaps our roads should be converted to support these vehicles; encouraging Canadians to go green. I think Canadians want these cars. Would you be in favour of converting our highway lanes / streets / roadways to support the low-speed electric cars?

Answer
I was so surprised when I heard Canada doesn't allow EVs on their road. It makes absolutely no sense. We have them in the US, and they're perfectly safe!

There will soon be plenty of high speed EVs to choose from (see link below). However, I think it's totally unnecessary to make an EV-only lane. Canada just needs to change its laws to allow EVs on the road, because there's no reason not to.

Why does the Chevy Volt in Canada go farther than the Chevy Volt in the US?

In the US the commercials say it goes 35Miles on a single charge but in Canada I saw a commercial that said it went as far as you want?

The reason I ask is that when I saw the movie "Who killed the electric car" the told about a battery that who patent was purchased by the gas companies that went 300 miles on a charge. I wonder if this was the battery and if the patent they purchased was only for the US?

Answer
Both commercials are correct. The Volt can travel from 30 to 50 miles on an electric charge. But after the battery is exhausted, a gas engine turns on, and you can drive the car as far as you want.

The car in the movie you saw with the 300-mile range was called the "T-Zero". It was an experimental car, however, the technology used in the T-Zero is the basis for the cars built by Tesla Automotive.

The Tesla Roadster has a 225-mile range, and the upcoming Tesla Model S will have a 300-mile all-electric driving range.
