ZAP XEBRA news (also mentioned are Volt & Tesla)
The ZAP Xebra is a three-wheeler running on basic batteries, silent and easy to maneuver. It is more than a golf cart and less than a compact car and costs just under $10,000
Now still a concept car, GM will begin production as soon as battery costs fall below $3,000 per car.

Could you imagine if Toyota or Honda waited until the battery component of a car got below a certain price point before trying to build a hybrid?
And GM can't figure out why it's about bankrupt.
And yes, I know how ridiculously contradictory that remark is-- how can you make money if you're in financial trouble and selling something at a potential loss? But the flip side is that as counter-intuitive as it sounds, it sure worked for Honda and Toyota.
I'm so depressed about the state of the Detroit 2 (f/k/a/ The Big 3). I would LOVE to buy an american car, if they only knew how to make something that was somewhere near competitive.
