ZAP and the History of the Alias Electric Car

A short history of a pioneering company and the development of the Alias.

In order to provide some history of the ZAP Alias entry in the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize (PIAXP) , one needs to appreciate the origins of ZAP, which is a challenge unto itself since ZAP was founded in 1994, over 15 years ago, making it one of the earliest companies to enter the EV business.  So, please be patient, this could take awhile.
