World's Largest Pizza Delivery Company Begins Test of All-Electric
Delivery Vehicle
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (May 8, 2007) - As part of the company's Worldwide
Rally in Las Vegas this week, Domino's Pizza tested delivering its
pizzas using ZAP (OTC BB: ZAAP) all-electric vehicles supplied to
them by The Electric Vehicle Company. As the pizza delivery experts,
the electric vehicle deliveries reinforce Domino's desire to bring
cost-saving, environmentally friendly delivery options to its stores
around the world.

On Sunday, Domino's made actual pizza deliveries around the Las Vegas
area in the ZAP electric vehicles.
"Today it is not uncommon to have your Domino's pizza delivered by
bicycle, scooter or car around the world," said Jim Stansik, Domino's
executive vice president of Franchise Development. "Looking toward
tomorrow, Domino's is committed to also being a responsible consumer
of our planet's natural resources by testing the feasibility of using
electric vehicles in our stores."
The Electric Vehicle Company (EVC) of Chicago is making its all-
electric vehicles available to consumer product companies for use as
an environmentally friendly and cost-efficient option for conducting
deliveries, mobile advertising and event marketing programs.
It's ZAP (Zero Air Pollution) line of XEBRA cars, pickup trucks, ATVs
and scooters are perfect for driving around cities and at special
events - even indoors - with worrying about harming the environment.
Their unique styling will definitely catch consumers' eyes and can be
easily wrapped with signage.
"Mobile event marketing and advertising with an electric ZAP vehicle
not only allows a company to send a message about its product in a
unique and cost-effective way, but also delivers a message that the
company cares about the environment," says EVC president Larry Spatz.
The ZAP XEBRA is the only federally declared, street-legal, 100
percent electric car that plugs into any 110-volt outlet - the same
outlet that is found in and outside every home, garage and office.
The XEBRA is considered by ZAP as a 'city-car,' an all-electric
design for city-speed driving up to 40 MPH. The XEBRA comes in a 4-
door sedan or pickup truck with a convertible dump/flat bed. It
plugs into a 110-volt outlet for a full charge in up to six hours and
a 50 percent charge in up to 1.5 hours. Range varies up to 40 miles
per charge depending on charging, speed, driving conditions and other
factors. Fueling is estimated to cost 1-3 centers per mile while
maintenance costs one-third that of gas due to the reduction of
moving parts, less wear and replacements.
"Rising energy costs have become a major concern when budgeting for
mobile advertising and event marketing programs," added Bob Kopach,
EVC vice president of sales and marketing. "At $3 per gallon gas and
higher, driving an all-electric ZAP XEBRA makes a lot of financial
sense."
