ZAP Chairman Says Time Is Now for the Electric Car
SANTA ROSA, CA., Mar 26, 2008 - Gary Starr, Chairman for electric car pioneer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) said the time is now for electric cars in an online presentation with InvestorIdeas.com as part of its Green Tech Conference.
Starr's presentation from last week's Green Tech Conference covers the latest developments with ZAP is now available online at http://www.investorideas.com/Forums/Media/Green2/zaap/default.aspx.
Starr talks about today's market conditions and how electric vehicles can help deal with the energy crisis, the economy and the environment. He also talks about the growing dilemma and opportunity represented by what he calls the "Asia Factor."
Starr co-founded ZAP in 1994. With over 100,000 electric cars, scooters, bicycles, ATVs and more delivered under his direction, Starr is a leading authority in electric transportation. He built his first electric car as a UC Davis undergraduate in 1974 during the OPEC Oil Embargo when people had to wait in line to fill up with gas. He was frustrated by the fuel shortage and asked one of the professors about electric cars. He was told that electric cars could not go fast enough, far enough and were too expensive. A few months later, Starr built his first electric car with mostly junk and surplus parts. The converted dune buggy went 50 MPH, had a range per charge of 50 miles and cost about $2,500 to make.
Starr eventually pursued a career in alternative energy and transportation. He was the founder for US Electricar's electric vehicle operations in 1983. He has written several publications including: "Electric Cars: Your Guide to Clean Motoring," "The Shocking Truth of Electric Cars," and "The True Cost of Oil." In 1993, Starr was selected by Automotive News as one of the top ten most influential people in the electric car industry. Mr. Starr has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Consulting and Advocacy.

ZAP Electric Car 'Making History, Not Hype' Says Popular Mechanics
ZAP Electric Car 'Making History, Not Hype' Says Popular Mechanics
SANTA ROSA, Calif., March 25, 2008 -- It seems like every car company under the sun is jumping on the electric car bandwagon (let's hope the bandwagon doesn't use gas) and it's easy to get caught up in the green car excitement with all the futuristic prototypes being unveiled. But if you want to buy an electric car today, Popular Mechanics told its readers to check out ZAP (OTC Bulletin Board: ZAAP - News).(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080325/AQTU089
The February issue of Popular Mechanics published electric car coverage featuring ZAP exclusively in a full-page article about a pilot fleet project with UPS using 42 ZAP Xebras to help with peak holiday deliveries in their Northern California operations.
The Xebra is an electric city-car design that comes in a 4-door sedan or 2-passenger pickup. ZAP says the Xebra is a unique economy vehicle designed to expand the niche for electric transportation with business and government fleets as well as city-speed commuting. The vehicles sell for about $11,200 and up depending on options including solar panels and are available through about 50 US auto dealers.
Popular Mechanics also featured ZAP in an online roundup of "5 Electric Cars Making History, Not Hype" in which writer Erik Sofge picked ZAP first in a list of five electric cars selling around the world today. Find the article at http://www.popularmechanics.com under the keywords '5 electric cars already' or use the URL: http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/4234572.html.
ZAP has a wide selection of electric vehicles available today, including electric bicycles, scooters, mopeds, and ATVs. ZAP has been a leader in electric transportation since 1994, delivering over 100,000 vehicles to consumers in more than 75 countries.

"ZAP seems to be building momentum. It's adding to its dealer network in the U.S., which presently stands at a little over 50 but could, if the company meets its goal, hit 100 by the end of the year.
