North America
The vehicle was produced in lightweight construction and offered in the Canadian province of British Columbia and in 47 states of the USA. A five-year project began in 2005 to analyze the behavior of electric vehicles in public traffic. Here were light vehicles , as well as electric bicycles allowed.
For the television series Eureka - The Secret City , a Dynasty IT was equipped with additional photovoltaic elements and shown.
Europe
In the summer of 2007 the Dynasty IT was approved for road traffic in England . Two versions were imported, each with a higher standard top speed than the original.
End of production in Canada
In the spring of 2008, Dynasty Electric Car Corporation owner Danny Epp had to sell his company because the Canadian Transportation Authority banned low-speed vehicles from Canada's public roads by ordinance. Since the federal government of Canada had stipulated a maximum speed of 40 km / h in inner-city traffic for all of Canada's territory through an ordinance in 2000 , the Dynasty IT was also qualified for this vehicle category, but was nevertheless able to drive 70 km / h could, Danny Epp got only by the authorities of the province of British Columbia , a road approval for its electric car , subject to the condition, the Dynasty IT could only at 50 km / h urban transport be driven. In contrast, the other Canadian provinces refused approval. Since Epp really wanted to build the Dynasty IT, this meant that he then relocated his vehicle production to British Columbia. But unexpectedly, in December 2007, the federal government in Ottawa announced its intention to only allow low-speed vehicles on private properties (i.e. private roads), campus areas and the like. She was expressing that she was working to ban such vehicles from public roads. The British Columbia authorities pulled along with the federal government in this matter, which meant the de facto end for the Dynasty Electric Car Corporation, as the Dynasty IT was economically unprofitable under the new framework conditions . Dynasty's manufacturing facilities were sold to a company in Pakistan .
The new owner of the production facilities purchased by Dynasty is Karakoram Motors Ltd., based in Karachi . According to Karakoram's plans, the production of the Dynasty IT vehicle model range as it was produced in Canada will continue in Pakistan. To achieve greater profitability compared to Canada, a higher number of units is to be produced in Pakistan . The targeted number of pieces is given as 5,000 per year.
