The 2010 EV Conference and Trade Show in Vancouver will see the unveiling of the first Canadian car with a body built entirely out of pot! OK, it’s a hemp composite to be exact.

The car in question is the Motive Industries Kestrel electric car, a four-person compact boasting the ultra renewable hemp body. The hemp body has the same impact resistance of fiberglass but has the added value of weighing less and costing less to produce.

The decreased cost and lighter weight really lends itself to electric car manufacturing. We’ll be following the Kestrel as it goes through testing this month. In the meantime, let’s enjoy a short video about the world’s first vehicle made entirely out of weed.
