COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state Legislature has approved another option for Ohioans looking to
spend less on gasoline.
A massive spending bill that cleared the Ohio House and Senate on Tuesday includes language opening Ohio roads to electric vehicles that resemble small cars with only three wheels. Rechargeable three-wheelers such as the Zap Xebra and the Myers Motors NmG — which stands for “No more Gas” — are currently illegal in Ohio. The legislation would allow them to be registered as motorcycles. While Gov. Ted Strickland plans to veto some portions of the $1.3 billion funding bill, his
spokesman says Strickland supports the electric vehicles and will leave that provision alone.
