The Electric Xebra is designed for families as a second or third car but that does NOT mean ZAP has short changed the amenities. America’s youth love its fun look and insist upon its ultra high-tech sound system. This was what attracted dealer attention at the recent National Auto Dealers Association Meeting in Chicago where ZAP picked up nineteen new dealers.
ZAP calls the XEBRA a ‘city-car,’ an all-electric design for city-speed driving up to 40 MPH. The XEBRA comes in a 4-door sedan or pickup truck with a convertible dump/flat bed. It plugs into a 110volt outlet for a full charge in up to six hours and a 50 percent charge in 1.5 hours. XEBRAs can be recharged at any electrical outlet.
Xebra range varies up to 40 miles per charge, depending on charging, speed, driving conditions and other factors. Fueling is estimated to cost one to three cents per mile while maintenance costs one-third that of gas due to the reduction of moving parts, less wear and replacements. XEBRA was designed to appeal to environmentalists and is even available with zebra-stripes.
Even after counting emissions from electric generating plants, XEBRAS produce 98% fewer pollutants than gas cars.
The dealer world recognized that Zero Air Pollution is more and more appealing and with Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, with an Oscar win, Zero Air Pollution is becoming mainstream.
In a recent interview Al Gore noted that leading scientists say we may have ten years before crossing a point of no return, starting an irretrievable process. There is a necessity to sharply reduce CO2 emissions and to find new and renewable sources of energy. The low hanging fruit hanging fruit is conservation and efficiency and in the use of alternative fuels such as cellulose-based ethanol, Gore said.
Taking the long view indicates these cars will be hotter and hotter with the 16 to 34 crowd. Google and Gore will drive this interest. Together they acquired a cable channel last year through an investment group led by Gore, which will relaunch August 1, 2007, under the name Current. The channel is aimed at viewers aged 18 to 34, and will play to the online crowd. The channel has already struck a content deal with Google for a segment called “Google Current,” which will features news about topics generating the most Google searches.
ZAP is in the sweet position of being the ZERO AIR POLLUTION car of choice for the very group Current and An Inconvenient Truth will reach!
