Some details of ZAP from the ZAP Blog

"ZAP was founded to revolutionize transportation, to create cost effective solutions to create no polluting electric vehicles.

Who is ZAP?
ZAP has been in the electric vehicles (EV) business for over 13 years.

ZAP has manufactured, sold and delivered 100,000 consumer EVs to over 75 countries. To our knowledge no other company in existence today can say this.

Today ZAP is the only company delivering city-speed electric vehicles that fill today's demand for electric cars and help expand the growing niche for consumer-based electric transportation. These electric cars and trucks are now being manufactured and shipped every day.

Although we hear a lot of talk about someday we may see a plug-in electric car or plug-in hybrid from the major automakers, ZAP has the only dealer network delivering plug-in electrics and plug-in hybrids today.

ZAP is perhaps the only electric vehicle manufacturer in existence that has a catalog of different EVs to suit its customers needs, from electric bicycles to scooters, motorbikes, cars and trucks.

ZAP has a nationwide dealer network of 50 factory trained electric vehicle sales and service outlets, the only dealer network of its kind in the United States.

The New York Times reported that electric car dealer Ecomotion of Portland, Oregon sold 125 EVs since its inception last year, making it the top-selling electric car dealer in the USA. Ecomotion added that the Xebra was the "surprise success" of the dealership, which sold about 50 units making it the top-selling electric car at the dealership.

ZAP is the only company that has a dealer network for plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles.

ZAP has delivered vehicles to fleet customers such as UPS, Chilectra, Coca-Cola, Domino's, Guru Beverages, Google

ZAP has the only solar-assisted electric cars available for purchase.

ZAP is one of the only companies delivering Made in China vehicles to the United States at an affordable price.

ZAP is one of the only companies with a wheel-motor driven electric scooter with a peak power of 3000 watts.

After Daimler Chrysler concluded there was no market, in the USA, ZAP sold the first fully government certified Smart Cars in the USA, and successfully sold over 300 cars, before Daimler Chrysler interfered, and is now duplicating ZAP's marketing program.

ZAP has executed a joint venture agreement with China Youngman Automotive, one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in China, to provide highway capable electric and hybrid buses, trucks and cars.

In November 2007, ZAP received a $5 million investment from the Al-Yousuf Group, one of the largest automotive importers and distributors of cars in The Middle East.

ZAP's management is responsible for these history making facts.

No matter who attempts to discredit the Company, or its management team, ZAP and its shareholders will not falter in its goal to bring true cost effective innovative vehicles to the general marketplace."
