Do Consumers Have to Compromise Performance to Go Green?

POINT ROBERTS, Wash., DELTA, B.C., May 14, 2007 InvestorIdeas.com green investor
portals report on choices and trends in green cars including Hybrids, Electric,
Biofuels, and Fuel Cell cars. As green and ethical consumerism grows to become a
global phenomenon, InvestorIdeas.com discusses options and choices available and
underway posing the question - Are there enough choices and incentives to create the
shift? Electric Car Manufacturer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) and R.L. Evans, Director Clean
Energy Research Centre, University of British Columbia, help to provide insight into
the highways of the future.

At the recent Hydrogen & Fuel Cells 2007Conference held in Vancouver B.C., Bill
Reinert, National Manager TMS Advanced Technologies Group, Toyota Motor Company
discussed that "by 2040, based on the current growth, there will be 2- 3 billion
cars on the road, up from current numbers of 1 billion, creating environmental
problems 4 to 5 times of what they are today.\" The projected numbers of population
and vehicle growth provide compelling motivation for change.

Consumers looking for green and environmentally friendly automotive choices
available in the market today can visit Yahoo! Autos Green Rating and search the Top
100 Cars by Green Rating, developed in consultation with Environmental Defense
(http://www.environmentaldefense.org). Users can browse through available options in
Hybrid - Electric cars, Ethanol cars, Diesel - Biodiesel cars, Natural Gas cars and
fuel efficient cars. The rating measures the vehicle\'s environmental friendliness
from 1 to 100 with the higher a vehicle\'s Green Rating, the \"greener\" it is and the
lower its harm to both human health and the planet.

For consumers looking at electric cars, industry players ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) and GM
with the GM Volt offer both performance and efficiency in the near future.

ZAP, who has been in the electric car market since 1994, has a full line of
competitively priced electric vehicles from A to Z ranging from electric scooters,
electric ATV\'s and electric cars and trucks. ZAP is also working with Lotus
