ZAP Car Featured on 'LIVE with Regis & Kelly'

SEBASTOPOL, Calif., March 20 -- A new electric car from ZAP (BULLETIN BOARD: ZAPZ) is scheduled to feature on ABC's "LIVE with Regis and Kelly," Friday, March 21, 2003. Check your local listings for air times and channels.

LIVE is ending the week with technology expert Leo Laporte from cable channel TECH-TV showing a round-up of new gadgets from the Consumer Electronics Show held this past January in Las Vegas. The feature includes ZAP's new Light Utility Vehicle (LUV(TM)), which was selected as a finalist for TECH-TV's "Best of CES."

The ZAP LUV is a new kind of automobile called a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV). The U.S. Department of Transportation created the new category of automobile for the many car trips people take for inner-city transportation, planned communities, commercial zones, and tourist areas. The L.U.V. sports a European design that comes from Italy's Studio Linia 2, which designs some of Italy's most famous automobiles. The 25 MPH electric car has room for two and plugs into any normal household electrical outlet.

ZAP is not new to LIVE. The Company's ZAPPY electric motorized scooter was on the show in 2000. LIVE co-stars include Regis Philbin, the 40-year television veteran who hosted the popular game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and Kelly Ripa of "All My Children" who joined the program in February of 2001.
