Canada still not on track to meet electric vehicle sales target despite popularity Kneider is president and CEO of Riise EV, a Vancouver-based company that specializes in electric conversion, and the Porsche — his daily ride — is one of the company’s products.The eye-catching and virtually silent sports car recently got people talking at the Vancouver Sun Run, where it led the race as the 10K run’s pace car.“This has way more appeal, I’ve done something right, I’ve kept an old classic on the road, I’m greener, cleaner, no emissions, and it just makes logical sense,” he told Global News.The conversion involved removing the car’s old 87-horsepower engine and replacing it with a 130-horsepower electric motor Kneider jokingly called a “60-pound turkey.”Add in the batteries and the car is about 100 kilograms heavier but delivers 50 per cent more power.

PHILADELPHIA - The city of Philadelphia is looking for more help in its ongoing efforts to stop gun violence in the city. Leaders want to bring peacekeepers directly to the streets.They are rebooting one of their central programs aimed at reducing violence, with more than 150 murders recorded so far this year and a public growing more concerned by the day.The city is now looking for more organizations to be part of its Community Crisis Intervention Program, a strategy that involves using people who used to pick up guns and shoot, as the brokers of peace in the streets.With just one organization supporting the program, with less than 60 workers, the city wants to cover more ground.Community Crisis Intervention Program "I think that, given the nuances of our neighborhoods, if you take the East Division in particular and the prevalence of the Latino community there, if you take the Southwest Division and the prevalence of the West African community there, we have to be very cognizant of the differences between communities that are experiencing violence right now," Erica Atwwod said.Atwood runs the city’s Criminal Justice and Public Safety cluster of agencies that work with police on efforts to reduce violent crime.MORE HEADLINES:She is aware of criticisms surrounding the current Crisis Intervention program where sources say there have been staffing issues, including workers who simply hand out documents with safety information, rather than directly engaging with suspected or potential shooters.Advertisement"There have been start-stops around this.
