Domino's Delivers Pizza in a ZAP
May 09, 2007



World's Largest Pizza Delivery Company Begins Test of
All-Electric Delivery Vehicle


    LAS VEGAS, May 9 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- As part of the
company's Worldwide Rally in Las Vegas this week, Domino's
Pizza tested delivering its pizzas using ZAP (OTC Bulletin
Board: ZAAP) all-electric vehicles supplied to them by The
Electric Vehicle Company. As the pizza delivery experts,
the electric vehicle deliveries reinforce Domino's desire
to bring cost-saving, environmentally friendly delivery
options to its stores around the world.

    On Sunday, Domino's made actual pizza deliveries around
the Las Vegas area in the ZAP electric vehicles.

    "Today it is not uncommon to have your Domino's
pizza delivered by bicycle, scooter or car around the
world," said Jim Stansik, Domino's executive vice
president of Franchise Development.  "Looking toward
tomorrow, Domino's is committed to also being a responsible
consumer of our planet's natural resources by testing the
feasibility of using electric vehicles in our
stores."

    The Electric Vehicle Company (EVC) of Chicago is making
its all-electric vehicles available to consumer product
companies for use as an environmentally friendly and
cost-efficient option for conducting deliveries, mobile
advertising and event marketing programs.

    Its ZAP (Zero Air Pollution) line of XEBRA cars, pickup
trucks, ATVs and scooters are perfect for driving around
cities and at special events -- even indoors -- without
worrying about harming the environment.  Their unique
styling will definitely catch consumers' eyes and can be
easily wrapped with signage.

    "Mobile event marketing and advertising with an
electric ZAP vehicle not only allows a company to send a
message about its product in a unique and cost-effective
way, but also delivers a message that the company cares
about the environment," says EVC president Larry
Spatz.

    The ZAP XEBRA is the only federally declared,
street-legal, 100 percent electric car that plugs into any
110-volt outlet -- the same outlet that is found in and
outside every home, garage and office.  The XEBRA is
considered by ZAP as 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 110-volt outlet for a full charge in
up to six hours and a 50 percent charge in up to 1.5 hours.
 Range varies up to 40 miles per charge depending on
charging, speed, driving conditions and other factors. 
Fueling is estimated to cost 1-3 cents per mile while
maintenance costs one-third that of gas due to the
reduction of moving parts, less wear and replacements.

    "Rising energy costs have become a major concern
when budgeting for mobile advertising and event marketing
programs," added Bob Kopach, EVC vice president of
sales and marketing. "At $3 per gallon gas and higher,
driving an all-electric ZAP XEBRA makes a lot of financial
sense."
