SEQUIM – Slide into this driver’s seat and see if you don’t laugh.

Carolyn Triebenbach’s new Zenn is a little French car that carries mail to 520 addresses in rural Sequim – for about 40 cents’ worth of fuel.

“I giggle,” when cruising through the neighborhoods, Triebenbach said.

In Zenn mode, “I sneak up on people. I sneak up on their dogs.”

Zenn, you see, stands for zero emissions no noise.

This is an all-electric car that Triebenbach uses to cover her 20-mile delivery route north of Old Olympic Highway, after charging the Zenn’s batteries for six to eight hours.

Triebenbach, 49, bought the silver coupe last summer from MC Electric Vehicles of Seattle for $17,600.

That’s higher than the typical Zenn price of $12,600 because Triebenbach, who’s worked out of the Sequim post office for 10 years, needed modifications: steering on the right-hand side, removal of the passenger seat to make room for mail.
