Ener1 Inc. (HEV)

HEV the Major Player in alternative energy of the near-term future with the emerging new generation of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

Each EnerDel battery system will store enough energy to power roughly 400 average American homes simultaneously for up to an hour at a time utilizing the same core chemistry as the EnerDel batteries designed for the emerging new generation of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The new systems will be used in concert with a variety of both hardware and software solutions to improve system reliability during peak demand loads.

The PGE project will be built in Salem, OR, where it will serve both residential and commercial customers. Equipment will be installed at 15 sites over the next two years, after which developers will spend two to three years testing system performance under wide variety of geographic and meteorological conditions. It is one of 16 announced by DOE, which is providing half the $178 million funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the federal stimulus package enacted in February. The balance will come from utilities and other participants. Overall, the Northwest regional program will serve up to 60,000 utility customers in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.

EnerDel is part of Ener1, Inc. (Nasdaq: HEV - News). Based in Indianapolis, IN, the company has one of the most advanced lithium-ion battery manufacturing facilities in the world, and the only one of its kind in the United States.

Energy should outperform the market over the next couple months. I'm going with Deutsche Bank on this one.

HEV has a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also loss making at least until 2011.

In a growth business with excellent technology to offer. The rechargeeable lithium battery business is only just at the beginning of a long and bug run!

Their heavy investment in R&D will pay big dividends over the next 5 years.

Rated one star.

Extremely High Price for Sales

Stock does not move up despite frequent good news. Should move soon.

On August 5th, 2009. President Obama Announces EnerDel Received $118.5 Million Grant.

All the major Auto-car makers planning to have electric vehicles by 2010 (6 months). Do I need to say more ?

Company has contracts with Nissan and Volvo already, and expecting to sign more in the following months.

Inserted in the new revolution of energy storage and transportation.

Electric cars and hydrogen power have a solid place in our society and HEV is developing some outstanding technology moving forward. The Obama administration will push a green agenda, and this company stands to profit from it.

I thought I already had this one in my caps basket! Well now they are contracted with Fisker. It may not be a huge volume contract to a huge company but to Ener1 this is big.

where is this company at in overal battery production

Clean renewable is inevitable. Maybe government will push (incentives, tax credits etc) to buiy American.As long as this company doesn't bleed out first

Don't believe the hype.

30 billion stimulus pkg

This is cutting edge technology!

Don't know what is happening with PS WILDERHILL ENRGY (PBW), their performance lately seems to be 'en par' with other alternative funds, but they are consistently contrarian to Citron report. First it was Emcore (EMKR), now it is Ener1 Inc (HEV).

I am going to side with Citron this time!

Look for the stimulus package to include perks for lithium-ion battery producing companies. The time has come
