Boston, MA 03/10/2014 (wallstreetpr) – ZAP (OTCMKTS:ZAAP) is still convinced that despite setbacks in its three-wheeler electric car that ended up with costly buyback, there is lots of opportunity in its business plan.
The company has said that it is going to bring to the market a new electric car that can be powered by both lithium-ion battery and lead acid. The car will be competitively priced, taking advantage of the incentives from the Chinese government.

Can ZAP to it as peer Tesla?

Getting the new car to the market
