They should also give Zap a run for their money because I now believe that Zap is as bad as Spark-EV.

I used to be skeptical about Zap also, but this news article seems to imply something different:

I dunno.. I used to be gung-ho about Zap and even had some stock. Then the stock tanked and it doesn't seem that they are actually doing anything, so maybe I am just bitter about the stock. :)

If you do a search in Google news, you will find articles that state that Zap has actually shipped more EV's than anyother pure EV company.
