Welcome to a Cleaner World!
 

The Electric Vehicle Company and Planet EVC was founded with the goal of helping reduce harmful emissions that pollute our planet while bringing affordable transportation to the world.

The company has entered into a purchase agreement with ZAP www.zapworld.com (Zero Auto Pollution) and will market and promote its line of electric vehicles. This includes the only electric cars and trucks approved by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for all street driving in the U. S.  In addition to their line of automobiles ZAP products include ATVs, scooters, individual people movers (similar to Segway™), electric bikes and specialty batteries for electronics.

The vehicles use no gas, are inexpensive to run and maintain, and do not pollute the environment. They are additionally unique in that, because of the efficiency of electric motors, they cost significantly less than comparable gas vehicles.

The company eventually hopes to open the first national retail chain that specializes in all electric vehicles. The initial store as well as the company headquarters would be located in Chicago.

The company is in current discussions with municipalities, corporate entities and foreign distributors for the purchase of various ZAP products.

There is tremendous interest in electric vehicles as was evidenced by the large crowds viewing the ZAP cars and trucks at the recent Chicago auto show. In addition ZAP made an impression with Hollywood's a-list celebrities who care about the environment, in particular Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom and Penelope Cruz.  They viewed ZAP cars which were featured at an Oscar party sponsored by Global Green.

Is the offspring of more than three decades of thought and evolution. This vehicle was created as a breed by itself. Because the use and purpose of electric vehicles are different than gas cars, the wheel did indeed need to be reinvented.
