ZAP Electrifies 'Buy Here, Pay Here' Auto Dealer Expo May 21-23 in Las Vegas

AS VEGAS, Nevada (May 23, 2003) - Electric transportation developer ZAP (OTC BB:ZAPZ) is showcasing an array of battery-powered vehicles at the 'Buy Here, Pay Here' auto dealer convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 21 - 23, 2003. The National Association of Buy-Here, Pay-Here Dealers (NABD) was formed to promote the interest of self-financed dealers throughout the nation. NABD officials say this will be the largest gathering of Buy Here, Pay Here dealers ever held, with more than 1000 independent auto dealers from across the country. A primary focus of NABD 2003 is to help auto dealers discover ways to maximize their profits and cash flow during these challenging economic times. Capital is a necessary ingredient and most of the industry's leading lenders are scheduled to talk to dealers about how to find capital and build lending relationships during an interactive panel presentation. For more information on NABD, visit www.bhphinfo.com or call 713-290-8171. ZAP CEO Steve Schneider will be delivering a presentation on ZAP's strategy to establish a network of independent auto dealers that specialize in advanced transportation. Schneider says that used car dealers can become new car dealers under a program being offered through ZAP's automotive distribution subsidiary Voltage Vehicles. In January, ZAP announced it is working to market a line of electric cars to market alongside its electric scooters, bicycles, motorbikes and other forms of advanced transportation vehicles.
