ZAP Shows Off Electric SUV Concept

ZAP, an electric-car company since 1994, just released sketches of its ZAP-X crossover SUV. The concept will be developed with Lotus Engineering and will cost around $60,000 when it debuts sometime in the future. No, there isn’t a more specific time frame.

ZAP is claiming that whenever it does make it to market its “fast-charging” lithium battery will recharge in 10 minutes. Pardon the skepticism, but those of us with MP3 players, cell phones, etc. haven’t seen that charge time for dinky gadgets, let alone an SUV.

The thought of a 644-hp, 155-mph-capable gas-free vehicle with a 350-mile range is a really nice one, though.
