FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ZAP Projects Record Sales

2006 Revenues Most in Company History

SANTA ROSA, Calif.--(October 10, 2006)--Growing interest in electric micro cars and an expanding dealer network are fueling revenues at ZAP (NYSE Arca:ZP), pushing unaudited sales to $10 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2006, a record in the Company's 12-year history.

Revenues of $10 million for the first nine months ended September 30, 2006 surpass a record set back in fiscal year 2000 when the Company posted sales of $8.1 million for the same period. Fiscal 2000 was the year ZAP reported record annual sales of $12.4 million.

"The popularity of ZAP’s XEBRA is a strong reason behind our extraordinary growth," says ZAP CEO Steve Schneider. "It is the only affordable electric car available but it is the XEBRA PK electric truck design that is sparking interest. There is no place else in America that you can get an electric truck and we have it.”

Schneider added that the XEBRA PK has the ability to convert from its pickup configuration into a flat bed or a dump bed. More than three-dozen city leaders across the country have already requested or have taken test-drives to evaluate incorporating the versatile all-electric design into their utility fleets. Orders for the XEBRA PK have exceeded expectations and Schneider says the new ZAP micro car is "truly in a class of its own."
