Energy
- Real-World Tested Technology: The science behind the Hybrid Technologies vehicles is already on the market and being used across the globe. Lithium Ion technology is the basis for cell phone, MP3 player, laptop, and other portable electronic device batteries. Recently, Hybrid Technologies announced that the company had entered into a Space Act Agreement with NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center ("KSC") to determine the utility of lithium powered fleet vehicles produced by Hybrid Technologies.This widespread adoption is due to the lithium battery's ability to provide high output with low density, the perfect combination for a portable energy source. Because of the lengthy and extensive use of lithium batteries in portable electronic devices across the world, the stability, reliability and safety of lithium batteries are well attested under a wide range of conditions.
- Drawing Attention: The tremendous benefits of the Hybrid Technologies vehicles have drawn the attention of the media. Hybrid Technologies, Inc. has been featured on numerous national, international and local television programs including CNN with Miles O' Brien, CBS' the Early Show, FOX' the Big Story, ABC, NBC, CTV, CBC, WCNC, WBTV, Beyond Tomorrow / Discovery Channel, TV Tokyo, CFCN, Money TV, Space Channel, Car and Driver, Global News, LIVE with Regis and Kelly, and MSNBC. The company's radical new technology has also been feature in a tremendous array of print media, such as the Charlotte, NC Business Journal, Statesville, NC Record and Landmark, Vancouver Globe and Mail, Vancouver Sun, Calgary Sun, Calgary Herald, Toronto Star, Chrysler Freedom Magazine, Easy Rider, DuPont Registry, Living Well Magazine, Kyodo News, ABT (Advanced Battery Technology) Magazine, Business Week, EV World Magazine, Florida Today (NASA) Whittier Daily News (CA), Charlotte Weekly, Mooresville Tribune, New York Post, and the Los Angeles Business Journal. The tremendous benefits of Hybrid's products are being noticed across the globe.
- "Limitless" Applicability: Hybrid Technologies is capable of fitting almost any vehicle with a lithium-powered engine. Recently, the company completed a project in conjunction with Volkswagen's Electronic Research Laboratory in Palo Alto, CA to retrofit a 1964 Deluxe Microbus with an all-electric drive engine powered by lithium polymer batteries. The company already offers a Smart Car, Chrysler Crossfire, Mini Cooper and PT Cruiser with this technology, as well as an ATV. Everything from scooters, bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles, to boats, cars, and even lawnmowers can be adapted to utilize this portable electric power source that produces virtually no emissions.
- Government Support: In his 2006 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush admitted, "America is addicted to oil." However, he was hopeful for a solution, stating, "The best way to break this addiction is through technology." Hybrid Technologies believes that its proprietary technology, once fully developed and tested, may provide just such a solution, with the potential to offer a realistic alternative to the cycle of dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels that are susceptible to unpredictable market fluctuations, and are often imported from politically unstable regions. There is a pressing need for new sources of energy, with oil production in decline in 33 of the 48 largest oil producing countries (Source: Worldwatch Institute), but energy demand increasing around the globe. By 2020, some predict that the world's energy consumption will be 40% higher than it is today (Source: World Energy Outlook 2004). The total global oil and gas consumption is 127.8 million barrels per day, or 1,480 barrels per second (Source: OPEC.org).
