Domino's tests all-electric delivery vehicle

May 7, 2007

LAS VEGAS — As part of the company's Worldwide Rally in Las Vegas this week, Domino's Pizza Inc. tested delivering its pizzas using ZAP (zero air pollution) all-electric vehicles supplied to them by The Electric Vehicle Co.
 
Domino's made pizza deliveries around the Las Vegas area this week in the ZAP vehicles.
 
The Electric Vehicle Co. of Chicago is promoting its all-electric vehicles for use as an environmentally friendly and cost-efficient option for conducting deliveries, mobile advertising and event marketing programs. The company's ZAP line of XEBRA cars are designed for city-speed driving up to 40 miles per hour.
 
The XEBRA comes in a 4-door sedan or pickup truck with a convertible dump/flat bed. It plugs into a 110-volt outlet for a full charge in up to six hours and a 50 percent charge in up to 1.5 hours.
 
Range varies up to 40 miles per charge depending on charging, speed, driving conditions and other factors. Fueling is estimated to cost 1 to 3 cents per mile while maintenance costs one-third that of gas due to the reduction of moving parts, less wear and replacements.
