I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I have to question just how much experience ZAP has in building electric cars. Their tricycle-style Zebra hasn't had huge uptake anywhere in the world. The vast majority of the 90,000 vehicles they claim to have sold are, apparently, scooters.
I wish the co. well. I hope they can pull this off. I love underdogs! But I'd wager that the Chevy Volt, which will likely be cheaper than the ZAP-X and widely available through GM dealers, will see bigger uptake in the short term.
