A version of the car appearsappeared on the [[United States of America|American]] Sci-Fi Channel TV series ''[[Eureka (2006 TV series)|Eureka]]''.

Use of the vehicle is currently legal as a [[Low-speed vehicle|low-speed vehicle]] (LSV) in 47 US states and the Canadian province of [[British Columbia]]. The [[Ministry of Transportation (Ontario)|Ontario Ministry of Transportation]] is currently running a [http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/vehicle/emerging/ pilot project] to determine whether battery electric vehicles are safe to operate on public roads. Begun in 2005, the project will run for 5 years; although it allows two- and three-wheeled "e-bikes" to use public roads during the trial period, it permits four-wheeled LSV's like the Dynasty only in provincial and municipal parks and conservation areas.
