Well it is already happening, the premiere is going down right now.

Celebrities are coming out to the Egyptian Theater to see more than 10 Electric Vehicles in the courtyard... an "Electric Car Show for the Stars"! And the film screening (at 9:30pm PST).

Just an update, the FREE ELECTRIC CAR GIVEAWAY have chosen the user Ivan dKmx... as the winner of a brand new ZAP Xebra

""CONGRATULATIONS""

This is another snapshot moment that ZAP comes to the rescue once again, I guess this shows commintment on the Zero Air Pollution statement, not sure how to say it differently but I'm just proud to be part of this team.

Mr. Jay Leno

From the press release we got that, many celebrities have also contributed to this "green themed", enlightening film including Jay Leno (who let producers in his garage to film him driving his 1908 Baker Electric), Ed Begley, Jr. (filmed at the 'Go Green Expo'), and "Baywatch" star and EV activist Alexandra Paul who hosted a behind the scenes chapter for the DVD. Romero Britto spent the last 2 months painting the world's 1st BRITTO TM electric car (a Tango T-600 Commuter Car), and Chábeli Iglesias signed on to host the film's Spanish language version to be available early next year. Also with some of the electric cars "starring" in the film including the rare appearance of the Progressive Automotive X-Prize $2.5 million prize winner, the E-Tracer, there are many of the auto sponsors representatives including from Nissan, Chevrolet, and Tango; the ZAP representation at the event is being lead by the CEO Steve Schneider.


The best part is that even these high profiled celebrities are serenading the red carpet with all-electric vehicles in addition to the display of EVs in the Egyptian courtyard, there is over ten different electric vehicles.

Joy for a green environment

One more golden page for the Pragmatic EV Industry, two thumbs up for the director  Ken Grant and for every single person involved in this outstanding achievement...who said you can't contribute to history in 75minutes...????

Cheers!!!!

From The Blog: ZAP JONWAY

I picked out a well-known Chinese saying that comes from Ji Hongchang, a military officer, as the title of this article.  It means: Man's every move is to write his history.

"What is the Electric Car?" makes an effort to promote electric cars in marketplace, and this is as a step attempting to make a success in the development history of EVs.

We enter an historic time with real, mainstream electric cars poised to come to market.  Still, there seems to be a great deal of confusion and controversy around them, which is one reason why we like the new documentary premiering in Hollywood on December 14, “What is the Electric Car?” but not the only reason.

We really like “What is the Electric Car?” because our very own Ginny is one of the stars of the film.  Yes, The Virginia (Ginny) Scales-Medeiros, mother of two, entrepreneur, inventor, auto maven and electric car proponent extraordinaire.

The story of how Ginny earned a role in the documentary “What is the Electric Car?” is somewhat ironic.  Ginny is perhaps the most outgoing, gregarious person we work with, and the perfect person to help represent ZAP for its Detroit Auto Show debut.  2010 was the very first year that Detroit’s North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) hosted a display dedicated to electric cars called “Electric Avenue.” ZAP was invited to display its Alias electric car in Detroit as part of the lead-up to the Progressive Insurance Automotive X PRIZE.

ZAP-Jonway, acquisition approved...!!!

July 2010, ZAP confirmed an agreement with Jonway Group to acquire a majority stake in Zhejiang Jonway Automobile^[36][37]. The Chinese Department of Commerce in Zhejiang Province confirmed the approval of the aquisition in September 2010^[38].

This marks another new link from SINO-U.S.  strategic alliances in the EV industry that is expected to catapult both companies to a new development stage, on the other hand the target market on which ZAP Jonway is enclosed will confirm China becoming the world’s largest market for plug-in electric vehicles thanks to a $14.7 billion government investment on all-electric vehicles and infrastructure, against over $2.5 billion from the Obama government in incentives for battery makers, consumer purchases, and for charging infrastructure.

At this pace China will beat the US market out when it comes to electric vehicles.
