Canadian rocker involved in project to build viable green car

Neil Young has teamed up with performance mechanic Johnathan Goodwin with the aim of creating an affordable, mass-produced electric car. Young’s 1959 Lincoln Continental is being converted as a prototype.

The pair have already road-tested a prototype power system. They went on a 12-mile drive last week. “She was awesome,” Young said of the battery-operated car. “Her acceleration was incredible, she moved with hardly a sound.”
