SA electric car distributor hopes Govt will reconsider ban
Last Update: Friday, February 9, 2007. 7:20pm (AEDT)

The Adelaide-based distributor of an electric car says it is hoping a  
trial in Western Australia will lead the South Australian Government  
to reconsider its position.

Western Australia has approved a year-long trial of 50 small electric  
cars that produce no emissions.

The Reva car was originally imported to South Australia by the Solar  
Shop more than a year ago but was not allowed onto South Australian  
roads.

The Solar Shop's manager, Leonard Lee, is hoping the local case can  
be put again to the State Government.

"At the end of the day, it's well on the record that they didn't care  
to support the Reva," he said.

"It was disappointing, but I would hope they might review that  
decision now that our neighbours in Western Australia have come to  
the party, and follow suit."
