TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 4, 2007 -- ZENN Motor Company
(CDNX:ZNN.V - News) is pleased to announce that one of its all-electric
ZENN (zero emission, no noise) cars will be auctioned off as part of the
public auction to be held on the beach in Santa Monica, California the
evening of October 13th commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Sea
Shepherd Conservation Society.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was founded by Captain Paul
Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace. Sea Shepherd's mission is to end the
destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in
order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. By safeguarding the
biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd
works to ensure their survival for future generations.

The co-chairs and co-hosts of the Sea Shepherd Charity Benefit,
"Breaking The Ice", are Pierce Brosnan and Mick Jagger. Expected to be in
attendance are Sea Shepherd supporters Naomi Watts, Orlando Bloom, Uma
Thurman Gerard Butler, Esai Morales, Edward Norton, Martin Sheen, Jeff
Skoll, and Peter Beard. Chris Kattan will emcee the event. A major musical
group will perform, and The Red Hot Chile Peppers will be presented
with a "Rock the Boat" supporter award. The ZENN car will be present at
the top of the blue carpet, and will be autographed by arriving guests,
and then will be auctioned off to the highest bidder!

Ian Clifford, ZENN CEO and founder met Captain Paul Watson at IdeaCity
(a meeting of innovative thinkers held annually in Toronto) in the
spring of 2007. Clifford explains his commitment to the organization, "ZENN
shares the goal of Captain Paul Watson and the SSCS for an
ecologically responsible world. The fight to save life in the oceans and to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions through the use of clean transportation is
closely linked. We are proud to support Sea Shepherd in any way that we
can."

The ZENN is a fully equipped, neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) with
a range of up to 35 miles that recharges using a standard 120 volt
electric outlet in as little as four hours. The cost of operating a ZENN is
just two cents per mile (fuel efficiency is equivalent to 245 miles
per gallon) and the cars are typically very inexpensive to insure. Retail
prices start at under $13,000.

ABOUT ZENN MOTOR COMPANY

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, ZENN Motor Company is dedicated to producing zero emission transportation solutions for global markets, including the revolutionary ZENN, the perfect vehicle for urban commuters, fleets (such as resorts, gated communities, airports, college and business campuses, municipalities, parks and more), the environmentally conscious driver, and consumers who just want to save money. The ZENN is sold through a growing network of retailers across the United States.

The ZENN is a fully electric low speed vehicle (LSV) with European styling and appointments that offers customers tremendous operational cost savings compared to a vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine. Recently named Best Urban Vehicle at the Michelin Bibendum Challenge, ZENN performed exceptionally well in all categories including excellent overall design, acceleration, braking, lowest power consumption and lowest noise level.

The potential commercialization of the Electrical Energy Storage Units being developed by ZENN Motor Company's strategic partner, EEStor Inc., in future ZENN vehicles will allow them to go as far and as fast as a traditional car at a fraction of the cost. Moreover, the ZENN electric vehicles will potentially have all of the benefits of an internal combustion vehicle without the harmful emissions, sensitivity to escalating gas prices, or noise pollution. This environmentally friendly alternative will help make the widespread concerns about oil dependency a thing of the past.
