Zap was given a mention in an article listed online. It was more about the Smart then the Xebra. It basically stated taht Zap was taking advantage of the...
I had time to look the car over closer today. I stopped in the store in Salem OR. It all sounds a lot more positive after talking with them. (Last time I was...
They had a new order 2 Wednesdays ago. It was delivered today. It turns out Zap had a red car with leather interior... delivered quickly. To Oregon, they...
After looking at the arrangement of batts in the Xebra, I doubt you'll find any of them rolling over, unless they are hit hard from the side. (In which case...
Sounds like a well thought out arrangement. Doesn't sound like you could tip one of these unless you really really tried. Good point on clamping those...
Michael, Thank you for that update! I too feel much better about the car company that is Zap! To be honest, they should hire you to handle some PR for them....
Here's my guess - They come in to San Francisco and are then shipped up to Santa Rosa were the controller and batteries are installed, and from there they are...
Wow -- 72lbs is pretty heavy for a battery! Do you think there would be any problems finding replacement batteries to fit in the same form factor? When you...
I owned a Vanguard Citicar for a while. WHen I bought batteries from a manufacturer, Dyno in Seattle, they sold them to me with the wrong tops on them. They ...
Very realistic weight. The 12 volt BCI Group 31 ( http://www.rtpnet.org/~teaa/bcigroup.html )batteries for LEMN WEJ (my City EL) are 75 lb for the Enersys...
I don't know where they come in at. They have to go to Zap first. In China they are ICE... so they ship as rolling chassis. Zap installs all the drive...
I would *love* to have their single seat PU. Unfortunately, they said it wasn't DOT approved. (That doesn't worry me... I could probably slip it in as an Owner...
I'm sure you know of the 2 types of connectors on modern batts. The "standard" are those used in cars.. wrapping around posts. These tend to fall off on an EV....
My understanding is that they are using East Penn DECK 8G31 batteries http://www.eastpenn-deka.com/products/pdfs/c.pdf These should be fairly easy to find. ...
Hello all, I just talked to a nice lady that has been selling NEV for years here in SoCal. She stated that she will be receiving a Xebra in a week. The site...
That's good news, I understand that they are a really good dealer in the NEV arena so hopefully they will have Xebras wizzing off the lot before long. I will...
So, are there any Xebra owners in this group? I'm very interested in this vehicle, but have yet to find an independant review. I'd be very interested to hear...
The controller is alltrax ... very highly regarded. Oh, and you can hook a PC up to it and adjust the acceleration/deceleration/etc controls to suit your...
Hi Scott; If you go into Yahoo groups you can search the message archives. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Xebra_EV/ There are a couple of reports from the...
I was all set to buy a Xebra. I got my financing and was just about ready to pull the trigger and then I decided to wait. Everytime I buy something that is...
Yes, I ran across an article dated today that quoted the owner as having sold the first 4 and having 5 more on order. I'll find it in my cache and post here....
ZAP announced yet another quarter of losses and held info about Xebra close to their vest, except the following snippets in their report: "The Xebra is now...
At this stage in the game the red ink isn't surprising. It takes a lot of capital to ramp up production and I expect to see more red ink for the next few...
