Peterborough has been called The Electric City, perhaps because it was home to General Electric for many years, or because it was the first City in Canada to introduce electric streetlights, but the moniker is being revisited with the introduction last week of the ARC Motor Company. The brother and sister team of Sloane Paul and Tom Chep, who grew up in the South end, describe ARC as a green-tech start-up that transforms and upcycles iconic classic cars into modern and powerful electric vehicles.
