Welcome to Houston Electric Cars!

 

Houston Electric CarsHouston Electric Cars is the first, and still the only all-electric car dealer in Houston at this time. We now sell many types of street-legal medium speed vehicles (MSVs) and neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs), including the mighty Zenn, the quircky Zap, the workhorse Sky vehicles, and the sexy Benjy Electro. The NEV class cars are legal to drive on 45 mph streets in Texas, at a top speed of 35 mph. The government wants people to be able to drive without buying gasoline, or making pollution, and now you can ! In addition, we now offer CONVERSION SERVICES of highway speed cars. If you want a highway speed sports car, don't wait for the biggies- call us to arrange the purchase of what you like, and we'll convert it for you to a highway speed electric car. As low as $12000 all costs to you! Just laugh at the Volt, the Leaf, the Tesla, and be driving that e-Miata or sweet little converted e-car of your choice years before those expensive ones are in Houston showrooms. In addition we offer hybrid to Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) services.

The mighty Zenn is manufactured by Zenn Motors, a Canadian public stock company, on the Toronto stock exchange (ZNN). The mighty Zenn is the sweetest of all present day NEV class all-electric cars. In addition to the newest models by Zenn, we have taken our first used 2007 Zenn in trade, and now at times can offer a beautiful used Zenn at a lower price, for those price-sensitive buyers.

The mighty Zenn's car chassis is manufactured in France by Microcar, which has sold this car in Europe for over 25 years as a full speed diesel powered car. The Microcar chassis is sent to Canada without an engine or drive-train, where Zenn Motors installs all the electric workings of the finished Zenn all-electric car. From Canada, it is shipped to its US dealers by truck.

There is no economic all-electric Highway Speed electric car in the US market today, but there will be in one in a relatively short time frame, at a probable cost around $32,000.  We offer a suggestion that when you read articles of fast e-cars coming soon, the reader take them with a grain of salt until you actually see them in dealerships in Houston-- there have been many such announcements which quietly did not come to pass in the expected time frame.


We offer several great models including the mighty Zenn all-electric car (NEV), which enable emission free driving, and save you a large amount of money on gasoline not purchased. And we guarantee that when the full speed electric vehicle is eventually in our dealership, those of you who have bought any e-vehicle from us will be "front of the line priority buyers" of the full speed e-car, able to trade your e-car or e-truck towards the full speed e- car at our dealership. We now have huge discounts available on e-cars, some are below $ 10k, and all new registrations offer fed tax credits. Dirt cheap for an e-car, which is the greatest thing since fire.

We are also pleased to carry and sell the Zap ! Zap is also a public stock company based in California, and Zap is actually one of the earliest modern vendors of e-vehicles, having actually sold over 100,000 e-vehicles in many countries. Zap has a charming and unique 3 wheeled batch of car, truck and van. Zap also offers a factory installed solar roof panel option, which adds to the day's range by the sun's free rays. Zaps are available at our dealership, discounted for around $ 7 to11k.

In addition, we sell the "Sky" vehicles, probably the most economic, lowest priced commercially available street-legal NEV in America, priced at $7, to $9 thousand. Sky also offers a solar roof panel upgrade. The Sky offers several models including a pickup truck ! The Sky models have a curving roof but no permanent sides, however offers plastic snap-on sides, similar to the old fashioned Jeep so well loved by sporty outdoorsy Americans.

And we sell the Benjy Electro, a very sexy low priced e-convertible. This is a bare-bones little e-convertible for the fun lover on a nice day, the soma of future memories. Something for almost everybody !

WE ALSO BUY AND SELL USED E-CARS now, check to see what is currently available, as low as $ 5000.


We are located in central Houston, at the edge of downtown, see
LOCATION. About one quarter mile from the Astros baseball stadium.
