ZAP WORLDCAR(TM) certified as a "Zero-Emission Vehicle"

The California Air Resources Board has certified the ZAP WORLDCAR(TM) as a "Zero-Emission Vehicle", and licensed the ZAP vehicle to be licensed and sold in the State of California. The certification also gives the purchaser access to incentives for driving such cars, including a 10 percent federal tax credit.

ZAP, a ten year old publicly traded company, is more known for electric bikes and scooters, but has been establishing an automotive division and dealer nework for the past several years. The company hopes to find a niche promoting automotive technologies that focus on fuel-efficiency and the improvement of auto-environmental impact. Autos are a huge source of local pollution, smog, and global warming.

ZAP will soon be selling full-performance electric cars, imported from China, priced under $10,000, but still including power locks and windows, CD , AC, deluxe interiors, alloy wheels and more. Additionally, the company will also be distributing the Smart city coupe, imported from Europe. The 60 mpg car is awaiting for final approval from the EPA.
