The Zap electric SUV.

20 March 2007

There’s a nice round-up of the Zap electric SUV from Autobloggreen. The article, found here, states the automaker claims the vehicle will go 350 miles on a single charge, and charging takes a tiny 10 minutes.

Also of note is that it has 4 doors, unlike the electric car offering from Tesla. Zaps car, supposedly, will go up to 155 mph, and have 644 horsepower. These are major feats, and encouraging, if not a little unbelievable.

The car’s glass will help retain solar energy, though probably not enough to generate many more miles from the vehicle.

It’s all very nice, and a great direction for automobiles. I’d like to see Zap, and maybe Tesla, partially purchased by an American automaker
(ok, or a foreign company) with financial backing enough to mass-produce these and put the gas companies on the defensive.
