ZAP Xebra Electric Car is the Best-Selling Model

The New York Times in a March 9, 2008 article reported that the ZAP Xebra electric car is the best-selling model at the nation's top electric car dealer.

The New York Times reported that electric car dealer Ecomotion of Portland, Oregon is the top dealer in the nation with about 125 vehicles sold. The article says the dealer sold about 50 of the ZAP Xebra, called the "surprise success" by the Portland Oregonian.
