Will America lose the "electric car race" to China? {Autoblog Green}

Nov 2nd 2007 3:27AM Sorry all, way too technical.

Bottom line: Zap has put all the pieces together. Long established EV industry standards, the most experienced and capable executives, incredible partners (i.e. China's highly respected Youngman), ample funding, but most impressive of all -- Zap's sharply focused and unrelenting corporate philosophy. If you think this is way crazy, I suggest a bit of research into
Bob Swanson's little start-up, Genentech. Given the similar innovative corporate culture which founder Gary Starr and CEO Steve Schneider have so smartly set into motion, ZAP's future as the industry leader seems all but assured.

Yes it's been a long frustrating wait to break the back of the earth distroying fossil fuelers but guess what, the little old lady from Pasadena is soon going to be driving a GLOBALLY produced breakthough product with a ZAP! nameplate.
So all, take your best shots, but the facts are still the facts. Just like Genentech's magic recipe, Zap's future will not be denied. Oh yeah, it seems that our strong willed environmentally-correct Governor Schwarzenegger agrees too. Way to go GUV!
