Cannabis electric car to be made in Canada

An electric car made of hemp is being developed by a group of Canadian companies in collaboration with an Alberta Crown corporation.

The compact car, which will hold a driver and up to three passengers, will have a top speed of 90 kilometres per hour and a range of 40 to 160 kilometres before needing to be recharged, depending on the type of battery.

The car's body will be made of an impact-resistant composite material produced from mats of hemp, a plant from the cannabis family.

Automotive pioneer Henry Ford first built a car made of hemp fibre and resin more than half a century ago. It's not an original idea, but one that wasn't developed much further as car manufacturers favoured other materials, such as steel, in subsequent decades.


Here's a promotional video.
