Zhang Haiting, a 58-year-old car buff, from  Shanghai, China, has built a mini electric vehicle, all by himself.

But we’ve seen people build their own cars before,  the thing that makes Zhang Haiting so special, is that his particular  creation is environment-friendly. The resourceful Chinese inventor and  machinery veteran designed and put together his electric vehicle, by  himself, using all kinds of salvaged parts and materials.

Zhang has been using his zero-carbon emissions  electric car, on his daily commute, for about a year, and Shanghai  locals have begun noticing. They regularly get close and curiously check  out the weird looking buggy that looks more like a bumper car than a  real vehicle, and never miss the chance to get behind the wheel.

The home-made vehicle, built by Zhang Hiating,  reaches a top speed of 30 km/h and runs for 50 km, with a fully charged  battery. Seeing the reactions of passers-by, its creator is now thinking  of commercializing his invention, for the price of just 5,600 yuan  ($820).
