While plug-in hybrids are not in mass production today, ZAP is selling mass-produced, 100% plug-in, battery-electric vehicles with over 100,000 EVs delivered since 1994. ZAP has been experiencing record demand in 2008 with high gas prices and the fact that there are relatively few electric vehicles on the market. ZAP has expanded its workforce by 30 percent since January to help fill orders and expand its distribution. ZAP has done all this without federal support.

We like almost everything about Obama’s plan, especially converting the White House fleet to plug-ins by next year, making half of fleet purchases plug-ins by 2012, and providing a $7,000 tax credit for the purchase for advanced technology vehicles and conversions.
