According to the [[United Kingdom]]'s Battery Vehicle Society, two versions of the Dynasty were imported to the UK for testing purposes in the Summer of 2007. The UK versions of the car are to have a higher top speed, 35-40 mph (55-65 km/h), putting it in direct competition with the [[G-Wiz]] and the NICE car company.<ref>{{cite web |date=2007-04-30 |title=Dynasty Electric comes to the UK.

In April 2008, Dynasty IT was bought by a [[Pakistani]] auto company, and the manufacturing facilities are in the process of being shifted to [[Lahore]], [[Pakistan]]. The facility in Pakistan will have vehicles available for purchase as early as the end of 2008.
