Electric Car Dealership Opens in San Diego County


November 2006

ESCONDIDO, Calif., Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Electra-City Motors will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, December 2, 2006. The new electric car dealership, located at 738 W. Washington Avenue is close to the junction of I-15 and CA-78 in Escondido. Grand opening festivities, including complimentary food and drinks, will begin at 10 AM and continue until 3 PM on December 2nd.
"I believe in electric vehicles and the need to reduce our dependency on foreign oil," says owner Joseph S. Gottlieb. "When I first drove the new ZAP Xebra, I knew that there would be great demand for this innovative, 100% electric vehicle."

The cars are being manufactured by ZAP (BULLETIN BOARD: ZAAP) . ZAP is currently the only company producing street legal electric vehicles that go up to 40 miles per hour with a range of up to 40 miles.

Electra-City Motors is the first and only licensed ZAP dealer in the San Diego area to sell Xebra electric vehicles. "The response you get driving the Xebra is fantastic," says Joseph. "And when you tell people that it is an 100% electric car, they all have the same response; well, it's about time!"

"The looks you get in the Xebra are priceless. If you don't like attention, this isn't the car for you. You can't help but smile when you see this vehicle," says Joseph. "It's quiet, fun, and best of all, you plug it into a regular 110 outlet to recharge."

The Xebra is the perfect solution to the overwhelming needs of commuters and people that live in planned communities to have a 100% electric vehicle. It is also ideal to be towed behind an RV.

The Xebra PK (truck) is great for municipalities and small businesses that need to move things, but hate burning all that fuel. Also, being electric, it can go inside buildings and warehouses where fuel cars can't because of exhaust fumes. The truck is also available in a right-hand drive for parking enforcement.

Electra-City Motors' goal is to provide San Diego with a realistic alternative that allows people to use a 100% electric vehicle that requires no gas and feel good about not emitting gasses that cause pollution. One gallon of gasoline produces 22 pounds of CO2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas believed to be a cause of global warming.

"So many people have been waiting for the day that the electric car could be a viable option for them," says Joseph. "That day is here now and I encourage everyone to come down to Electra-City Motors and see the future."
