It is an interesting concept. Let the OEM design and build a vehicle, then later retrofit the powertrain and sell the vehicle under your brand. Am I right in assuming that ZAP no longer have an interest in this venture? John Mansfield Paul, I have to assume that the previous comment came from Detroit Electric. It is an interesting concept.

Lastly you will be hearing more positive news about Detroit electric in the very near future.
