AFVI Show: Zap! Chairman with his solar all-electric truck



I stopped by the Zap! booth on the AFVI expo floor and asked what was new. Not too much, they told me (aside from Larry Hagman visiting at the time), but it did give me a chance to go check out the new solar-powered mini-truck with Chairman and co-founder Gary Starr. Starr wanted to make sure our readers realized the truck's easy-to-tilt bed, which not only allows access to the batteries, but can also aim the solar panels toward early-morning or late-afternoon sun. Of course, if you've got a truck full of gear, then good luck.

Check out the pictures of Zap!'s truck in the gallery below.
