Answer
Here as a self appointed "definitive list" of electric cars: http://www.hybridcars.com/electric-car Here is another: http://www.hybridcars.com/electric-car and another: http://www.evmaine.org/html/electric_cars.html
You won't find a "zeen" electric vehicle mentioned in any of them. I also checked kit cars and an exhaustive list of world wide 3 wheeled vehicles. I did see one passing reference to a zeen electric vehicle that had its speed limited to under 40 mph but this does not match the NEV standard. It might have been a reference to a vehicle out of the US. This or a similar name does seem familiar however so after a very reasonable search I have to ask if you have any other reference or spelling.
The Zenn electric car (hatchback) was made in Canada but the manufacturer has decided to stop production of this NEV and concentrate on the highway capable model and using its rights to the EEstor ultracapacitor battery to develop a power unit that can be used in other vehicles. If it is Zenn that you are referring to then you may be looking at orphaned technology. ... or you may be looking at the biggest breakthrough in battery technology that the world has known.
Some of the sites above might at least give you some backround in available electric cars that are reasonably well known.

Would you buy South Africa's first electric car?
Ayiza
I would
The guy from optimal energy the company that designed the car said it will cost -/+ R200 000.00 (He was on radio 702)
So it will not be expensive like the Prius.
It will be brilliant for city commuting.
So what do you think?

Answer
We have a similar thing here in Canada - called the Zenn Car. I think it is a great solution to a lot of problems
1. Relatively cheap to buy
2. Relatively cheap to run
3. Cuts down on the number of speeding accidents because it cannot do those highway type speeds
4. Great for taking kids to school, getting groceries - a really good "Mother" car :o)
5. Takes power away from the greedy guts in the gas and oil businesses
6. Puts power and independence in the hands of those who can afford it but not the gas guzzler type of car. People like pensioners, people with jobs but lower paying ones. Great for people who seldom leave their own city but would like not to have to depend on other people or taxis or buses to go short distances. Great for young people going to college or University, their first job etc and good for their parent's nerves lol
7. Good for everyone - makes for cleaner air. People with respiratory illnesses like asthma etc will benefit. Puts less carcinogens in the air so good for fighting the war on cancer.
8. Not sure about this but I think it might be good for cutting down on the number of stolen cars - Pretty hard to speed off in one of these :o)
People in the cities I have lived in most often use their cars for local stuff. Some, in fact, seldom go more than a mile or two from home. I think it is a great idea and I hope you get one, Ayiza.
Just think - every electric car on the road is one more nail in the coffin of the greedy gas and oil people. Now that is something to celebrate!!
Edit to Nick. There is no gas or oil worth talking about there either but you all drive gas operated cars. PetroSA does not make your gas and oil any cheaper than anywhere else. Where there is a will, there is a way.
