Hybrid Technologies has developed various chemistries internally for lithium-ion batteries, and has already surpassed the 100-mile-per-charge threshold. The winning X Prize vehicle will feature the following performance and aerodynamic specifications: charge between 100 and 120 miles; top speeds from 70 to 120 mph; engine power ranging from 48 to 78 kW; and full charges anywhere from six to 10 hours. In addition, the judges have test driven three of Hybrid Technology’s all-electric vehicles - the roadster, a Mini Cooper and a motorcycle - and were impressed with each vehicle’s performance.

Since Hybrid Technologies is not currently producing on a mass scale, the company will focus its development strategy on the X Prize to further fund future growth initiatives. Hybrid Technologies vehicles emit zero emissions, unlike many popular hybrids on the market today. Rising fuel costs and environmental concerns will continue to support the sales of hybrid and electric cars, trucks and motorcycles. According to a recent article in the New York Times, fully electric vehicles with zero emissions are fast emerging as the most promising new technology.

Expensive Oil Forces the Media to Take a Deeper Look at Emerging Technology from Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HYBR.OB)

As oil demand continues to rise globally, and the price of gasoline continues ever higher, the media has been forced to look much harder at alternatives. People are clamoring for relief from the spiraling gasoline burden, and the media has realized that the big news isn’t coming out of the Big Three auto manufacturers, but from smaller, more aggressive companies such as Hybrid Technologies, and the media is paying close attention.

Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: HYBR) is the emerging leader in the development and marketing of lithium-powered products worldwide. Their advances in lithium battery technology and power regulation have been making headlines at smaller, more regional newspapers for years. But recently that coverage has become national, as evidenced by the recent major-market media attention that has been focused on the company.

Just last week, the Voice of America broadcasting company, whose network broadcasts to an estimated 115+ million people across the globe, did a 7-minute segment on HYBR’s electric cars and their research and development facility in North Carolina. They highlighted the lithium battery technologies that Hybrid is developing, and their all electric vehicles. But in less than a week’s time we find that even more major media is hot on their trail, as Hybrid’s R & D facility and their engineering design team were just filmed by TreasureHD for a segment on lithium powered vehicles that will be aired in the coming month.

Treasure HD airs nationwide on the Dish satellite network (channel 9473), on the East Coast on Cablevision (channel 724), and in more than forty countries worldwide. Combine that coverage with the Voice of America’s reach, and just these two venues will inform over 150 million people of Hybrid Technology’s capabilities - and these are simply the latest entries in a string of ever-increasing media attention. In just the past two months, Hybrid Techologies has been seen on NBC, ABC, Fox news, Popular Mechanics, Motorsports Industry News, WBT Talk Radio, and many other major carriers.

There was a period not long ago where oil was just $12 dollars a barrel, gasoline was under a buck, and alternative methods of generating energy, or transforming transportation, was simply taken as the ranting of some “fringe” environmental groups. Now, with global warming, $130-dollar oil, $4-dollar gas, and an ever more crowded world, those fringe elements don’t appear to be fringe any longer. They have become mainstream, and the media is focusing on the companies that have a legitimate chance of changing things for the better. Hybrid Technologies is one of those companies, and it’s a pretty sure bet that more media coverage will be aimed at them. Keep an eye out for new developments.

Hybrid Technologies Inc. (HYBR.OB) Electric Vehicles Are Saving the Environment in Addition to Money at the Pump for Their Owners

The name Hybrid Technologies is a little deceiving for the Mooersville, North Carolina-based car company. Their vehicles are not the traditional hybrid, but are fully electric vehicles that use Hybrid Technologies’ proprietary battery technology to propel a reliable and cost-efficient vehicle. Electric vehicles from Hybrid can generate considerable savings for owners, operating at a savings of 80-90% per mile over traditional, internal combustion-engine vehicles.

Common misconceptions about electric vehicles suggest that they are unreliable and will send electric bills through the roof. Thanks to the cutting-edge research and development that is being done by Hybrid Technologies, their vehicles are emission free. Even when taking into consideration the pollution created by the plants generating the electricity to recharge batteries, the average electric vehicle generates 98% less pollution than a gas-powered vehicle. Battery-operated vehicles are also among the most dependable vehicles made. They have less than 1/10th as many moving parts as gas cars and do not need oil changes, tune-ups or emission checks.

Electric vehicles from Hybrid Technologies can be charged as quickly as 6-8 hours using surplus electricity. They can use either a 220-volt or 110-volt electricity source for their charge and are typically charged at night. As the technology evolves and time passes, the range that electric vehicles can travel will increase. Several vehicles from Hybrid Technologies are capable of traveling over 130 miles on just one overnight charge. With the majority of drivers commuting less than 100 miles daily, the range of an electric vehicle is no longer a limiting factor. The strain on the environment and on the wallet caused by owning a gas vehicle is becoming unnecessary with the improvements to the vehicles being made by Hybrid Technologies.

Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HYBR.OB) Sees a 441% Short Position Increase since February 15

According to OTCBB.com, 218,373 shares of HYBR were reported shorted as of May 15, 2008. The number is a 24.45% increase over the shorted shares reported two weeks ago and a 441% increase over the figure reported on February 15, 2008.

For those who are not familiar with shorting, it is the opposite of buying. Instead of buying and then selling at a later date, a trader sells shares he doesn’t have and then later on buys them back from the broker. This puts him in a risky situation, however, since a substantial material event from the company would attract great buying pressure and spike the price per share, causing him to lose on the trade. In this situation, he would feel pressured to cover his shares, further strengthening the bull run.

As you can see, a very large short position (such as the one in HYBR) could create a massive run if covered. This is what is commonly referred to as a “Short Squeeze”. The 30-day volume average for HYBR is 143,350, so just imagine if all HYBR’s shorted shares were bought back on the same day in addition to substantial buying pressure! This is a very possible situation, as any significant news could ignite the explosion.

Ken Morgan, who hosts “Business for Lunch” on Financial News Radio (1510 KFNN), has been speaking with Dale Pinkert, a consultant from RadioWaves Relations, about Hybrid Technologies. Morgan and Pinkert recently discussed Hybrid’s line of all-electric vehicles, as well as the company’s participation in a hybrid vehicle competition.

Initially, Hybrid converted two popular vehicles with their lithium-ion batteries. The LiV™ SURGE (PT Cruiser) and the LiV™ FLASH (Mini-Cooper) were the first conversions offered in the Hybrid line and are still available. Hybrid has since branched out and developed its own vehicles. The LiV™ RUSH is a sportscar that reaches up to 120 mph. The LiV™ WISE was designed for city driving and will drive up to 180 miles per charge.

Hybrid’s main focus is in the development and production of 100-percent electric vehicles, but this focus hasn’t stopped Hybrid from making a mark in the hybrid (fuel-electric) market. The company is developing an entry vehicle for Popular Mechanic’s Automotive X Prize (AXP) competition. The goal of the AXP competition is to find out which vehicle has the highest performance and highest miles per gallon. Those at Popular Mechanics who have seen Hybrid’s AXP car have stated that the vehicle’s “performance blows away the Corvette” and its “mileage blows away Prius”.

A fully-electric vehicle that gets higher mileage than the Prius, which averages about 45 mpg, sounds like a dream. But for the vehicle to also have a higher performance level than a Corvette? Sounds unbelievable, but based upon the reaction from the team at Popular Mechanics, it sounds like Hybrid has created such a vehicle.

Hybrid is showing consumers that alternative vehicles don’t perform like a golf cart. The Hybrid vehicles are fun, efficient, and can be fast. To hear more about what Hybrid Technologies is up to from Dale Pinkert, consumers can tune into “Breakfast for Lunch” on Mondays and Wednesdays.
