ZAP Expands Workforce to Meet Record Electric Vehicle Demand
While other industries are languishing, the electric vehicle industry is growing at a never-before-seen pace. Electric vehicle maker ZAP, headquartered in Santa Rosa, CA. has expanded it’s workforce by more than 30% this year as a result of increased demand for it’s electric vehicles.
“While most U.S. automakers are laying off workers and facing declining sales, ZAP is experiencing record growth,” said CEO Steve Schneider. “We are proud that ZAP is one of the few companies selling cost-effective, plug-in transportation today.” He added that ZAP is launching new electric vehicles this quarter.
ZAP announced that it had set an unaudited sales record of $737,000 in August - that’s an increase of 88% over the same period last year. ZAP indicated that the increase was due mostly to increased demand for its Xebra electric Sedans and trucks.
