The Chicago Auto Show debuts ZAP Electric XEBRA

Automotive industry leaders are not in question over the emissions efficiency of electric cars, but they are scratching heads over the suggested terminology for electric vehicles such as the ZAP XEBRA. The XEBRA is being debuted at the Chicago Auto Show this upcoming week, innovated by automaker ZAP.

The XEBRA is one of many conservative approaches to answer the plea to the automotive industry from consumers and national leaders to produce modes of transportation that are environmentally conscious. Electric car makers are considering the possibilities of what to call electric power capacity of their creations, and as ZAP suggests with their XEBRA model, perhaps the alternative to Horsepower should be Zebrapower, in keeping with the “less is still more” concept.

Sbragia, owner of Star Motors, aka ZAP of Oak Forrest, Illinois. "The writing is on the wall in the auto industry and green is the name of the game. All the cars at the show this year will be touting MPG, miles per gallon to show how efficient they can be, but here’s a car that has zero miles per gallon. It’s so efficient they will have to come up with a new metric — maybe zebra-power?"
