Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HYBR.OB) is committed to using its resources for the development and marketing of lithium-powered products which can operate vehicles, commercial buildings and residential homes. The company has successfully converted scooters, bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, cars and homes into zero-emission, lithium-powered vehicles and facilities.

The company’s products have received massive attention from CNN, Forbes, Popular Mechanics, Wired magazine and other media sources. Marketing trend forecasters believe that the company’s all-lithium BMW AG Mini Cooper will become the new “it” car among the Hollywood crowd, who are no strangers to the company.

Because Hybrid Technologies’ vehicles are not run on gas, they require very low maintenance and can save users hundreds of dollars. Hybrid Technologies has signed contracts with NASA, the Canadian Ministry of Transportation, the City of New York, the US Navy, and Paratransit, a New York transportation company, among others. The media, government and public are taking note of the company’s vehicles and the demand could become very strong in the near future.

The Company was recently given a $5.30 target price by SISM Research as well as a ‘Speculative Buy’ Rating. SISM Research analyst Ernest C. Schlotter stated, “Electric powered vehicles will quickly gain meaningful share in the worldwide light vehicle market due to rising energy costs and increased emissions regulations. Hybrid Technologies is an emerging leader in the development and marketing of lithium-powered products worldwide and could benefit from this trend. Currently, the market is limited because of high prices, but this technology has the potential to become mainstream as production volume increases. Subsequently, vehicle prices should decline.”

Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HYBR.OB) Uses Lithium as an Alternative Energy Source About 40 miles North of Charlotte, NC, lies the headquarters for Hybrid Technologies, Inc. This emerging company uses lithium to power their line of new-age electric vehicles. It seems fitting that such innovation in the automotive field comes straight from Mooresville, NC, the birthplace of NASCAR. People here show a far greater interest in automobiles than an average American town. Yesterday, the company announced the success of a recently staged “open house” at its Research & Development facility in Mooresville. There, Hybrid Technology models, such as the LiV™ FLASH, and LiV™ RUSH, were test-driven by state Congressional candidates Pat Smathers and Diane Hamby. A statement was taken from a Hybrid Technologies shareholder at the event, who reminded reporters: “Electric vehicles are taking off now. We just need more people to realize the current availability.” Ernest C. Schlotter, a four-star analyst with SISM Research, has initiated coverage on Hybrid, upon which he placed a “Speculative Buy/4″ Rating and a 12-month target price of $5.30. The stock closed today with a value of $4.00. Hybrid has recently exited the development stage on its zero-emission lithium vehicles, with great success, and is now ready for commercial production, with the price-tag on one of its revolutionary cars starting at an astonishingly affordable $39,500. Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HYBR.OB) is certainly “One to Watch”. Please see disclaimer on QualityStocks.net website: http://Disclaimer.QualityStocks.net

Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HYBR.OB) - An Energy Hungry World Needs the Electric Car No matter where you look, you see the effects of $115.00-dollar a barrel oil. The local gas stations are charging $3.57 a gallon for regular gasoline, and diesel fuel is well over $4.00 in most of the U.S. Heating oil this past winter was a massive burden on the middle class, and all of this expensive oil is “leaking through” to cause inflation at the very core of our economy. Just about every product we buy is shipped for the final miles via truck, and they all use hydrocarbons for fuel. The truckers are passing that cost to the buyers, who have no choice but to raise prices on finished goods. It’s a horrible cycle, not to mention the fact that every drop of oil we burn puts “some” amount of carbon pollution into our ecology. Various studies have proven that if we could get the problem of battery technology solved, we could literally wean ourselves from 90 percent of our consumption of foreign oil, and this would also relieve a lot of the tensions we feel concerning terrorism. Because most of our imported oil comes from countries that aren’t terribly friendly towards us, supply disruptions are a constant concern. The idea that terrorists could use oil to “hold us hostage” plays deeply into our National Security Agenda. This is where Hybrid Technologies Inc. shines through as a true practical solution to so much of our energy situation. Hybrid (which trades under the symbol HYBR.OB) was incorporated in Nevada in 2000 and is focusing its resources and efforts on the development and marketing of lithium-powered vehicles and products for commercial and residential properties. Everything from scooters, bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, cars and homes are being converted successfully to zero-emission, lithium power. So, is the age old problem of battery technology solved? For all practical purposes, the answer is yes. Hybrid’s proprietary technology has produced lithium ion battery packs that can now fuel an electric vehicle at highway speeds for an incredible 120 miles, and yet will recharge via a standard household outlet overnight. Considering that the average person generally travels less than 30 miles each way on any given day, Hybrid has now made the electric car practical. Practical is one thing, but how about fun, sporty, fast, exciting, and attractive? Yes, all that too. With several different models having already been created and tested, Hybrid has shown that it can supply anything from the most economical of all subcompacts, to a sports car with the speed and acceleration of the world’s finest, high-end sports cars. The electric car isn’t a fantasy any longer. The technology is here and Hybrid has brought it to us in a commonsense approach that can only make the world a better place. With all the “green initiatives” and concerns recently about ethanol production competing with food production, the “well done” electric car has finally come of age.

Astonishingly Affordable Price $39,500 !!! Really. Only "Hollywood" can afford these frills. As an introductory price it's good. But watch out for China and India, they will be buying these vehicles, copying them and selling them for $5,000 - $10,000. Now Hybrid Technology could move thier factories over seas, copying thier rustbelt predecessors. When will America learn? We must perhaps earn less, so we can have more!

These cars aren't simply 'frills', but can replace many of the gas-mobiles used today. Millions of americans are able to buy a car of $39,500, even more so than gas powered vehicles as these wouldn't require gas, oil changes, etc.
