Batman goes electric: the Zap! Alias
I'm a big fan of electric vehicles. Not only are they better for the environment than the dirty old petrol sort: they tend to look a lot more fun and somehow futuristic, too; looking at an electric car you can finally feel you've arrived in the 21st century.
The dawn of the 'electric age' in motoring is also giving some new players in the industry the chance to compete with the big boys, bringing in fresh ideas and cool new designs without the baggage leftover from more oil obsessed times. One of these new companies is Zap! Which makes all sorts of leccy cars and bikes, from electric bikes and nippy little vans to this batmobile-esque supercar, known as the Alias.
