ZAP Retains Fallon Law Offices of Santa Rosa

SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 19, 2004 -- Transportation pioneer ZAP (Stock Symbol: ZAAP) announced today that it has retained the Law Offices of Michael C. Fallon of Santa Rosa, California.

Fallon Law Offices have been engaged by ZAP to handle various aspects of its corporate and securities law. Fallon assisted ZAP in 2002 during a reorganization of the Santa Rosa transportation developer.

"ZAP is pleased to be joined by Michael Fallon in its venture to bring cleaner car technologies to consumers," said ZAP CEO Steve Schneider. "With his past experience working with ZAP, he knows the corporate structure, history, subsidiaries, and the industry. I know he shares our philosophy of social, corporate and environmental responsibility and we are excited to have him on our team."

Schneider added that ZAP is building a legal team to promote the business plan on many fronts. Earlier this month, ZAP announced it had retained the Santa Rosa Law Offices of Senneff Freeman Bluestone LLP. In January, ZAP retained Donahue Gallagher Woods LLP (DGW), a San Francisco Bay Area law firm with offices in Mill Valley, Oakland and Walnut Creek and firm principal William "Rock" Hill agreed to join ZAP's advisory Board of Directors last month. ZAP has also retained the Los Angeles securities law firm Richardson Patell and in April hired Jackson W. Long as General Corporate Counsel.

"Each of these firms covers a unique area of the law, so that ZAP can cover all its bases with partnerships, manufacturing contracts, distribution agreements, legislative initiatives and more."
