MIAMI, FL (April 16, 2008) – Electric car interest is picking up as gas prices push toward record highs, according to US electric car dealers.

AP reported that retail gasoline prices rose to a new average national record of $3.386, according to a survey by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices were highest in California, where mid-range and higher grades are now averaging more than $4 a gallon.

In October 2007, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made a brief visit while in China to meet with ZAP CEO Steve Schneider and China Youngman staff to learn more about their joint venture to make electric and hybrid vehicles.
