Dear ZAPVAN Enthusiast,
Thank you and congratulations on purchasing the ultimate clean air vehicle! The ZAPVAN SHUTTLE is the rst of its
kind. To our knowledge it is the world’s only affordable electric vehicle that meets federal standards and goes up to 25
miles an hour.
In these days of higher gas prices, daily discussions of global warming and dependence on foreign oil, we appreciate
your commitment to change. Investing in an electric vehicle company and/or buying an electric vehicle are two of the best
things you can possibly do for the environment. We are looking for dealers. If you are interested please contact us!
We are proactive, not perfect. If you have ideas, we want to hear from you. If you can help spread the word about ZAP,
please do so. Write to: [email protected]
As the rst generation electric vehicle of its kind, we expect to learn over time how to make this vehicle better. We
appreciate your pioneering spirit and value your input to help make the ZAPVAN SHUTTLE not only a practical electric
vehicle, but the best in its class.
Thank You Again!
