Premier Ed Schreyer and Public Works Minister Russell Doern announced Manitoba's purchase of seven Electric Vehicle Associates sedans at 10 988 each and one Battronic van for 21 000. The cars failed to meet claimed ranges, warranties were not honored, and by 1979 most sat idle. Five sedans were sold for 1 880 in December 1979, the van for 2 000 in June 1980, and the remaining two cars donated to the University of Manitoba in 1981.
