The Dynasty IT was a Canadian electric car produced by Dynasty Electric Car Corporation, designed to qualify as a neighbourhood electric vehicle, primarily made for urban, recreational and light commercial markets.[1] It was available in five variants including a sedan, mini pick-up, van and two open air versions. The North American version has a range of up to 50 kilometres (30 miles) and does not exceed 40 kilometres/hour (25 mph). Most models have a curb weight of 653 kilograms (1450 lb).
Dynasty was bought by Karakoram Motors of Pakistan,[2] who in 2018 said they planned to produce it in Pakistan.[3]
Use of the vehicle was legal as a low-speed vehicle (LSV) in British Columbia and 47 US states. A version of the car appeared on the American Sci-Fi Channel TV series Eureka. For the show’s purposes, it is covered with photovoltaic cells to appear to be a solar-powered car.
