15 grand for an all-electric pickup. The 3 wheel version is 13 grand + 1500 for an optional solar panel. You can even get it with a dump bed. There are Zap dealers springing up throughout the US. I saw a demo of one at an auto show last summer. They're no frills, but they're also no gas. I personally want the Zap Alias

It is limited to 25mph though, and it's only 72V. It might work on a light enough car, but I would think 96V or 120V would be needed to go highway speeds with any range. Their other truck only has 3 wheels and wouldn't do as well in the US as it would in India and China.

Now this ATV would be a no-brainer if I was in the market for this. I think they should also look into making electric snow machines (snow mobiles).

And they should take the Alias design and make an electric tron-like motorcycle. If they could make a removable hard top, that would be slick.
