Did you see the green line he drew at the end of that video?
Thats we're going...
Good info guguli!
Now, "something soon" can be interpreted in various ways.
Could mean "something" about Dezer "soon".
Or more in general terms meaning some kind of news (meaty or fluffy) out soon...
But when is "soon"? Tomorrow, next Tues/Thursday or within a couple of weeks... ("something" that the bashers can use with the carrot metaphor...)
Lots of eyes on EVCA these days and plenty of smallcap-websites have EVCA on their radar ready for take-off...
GLTY
There is nothing wrong with the Industry!!
And EVCA is unfolding their business plan ONE step at the time...
Bashing won't stop them!!
We're in oversold territory and if you look at the period from Oct '10 to Jan '11 we went down also and suddenly KABOOM...
EXPECT THE SAME... IMO
PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE AND SPREAD IT TO AS MANY PEOPLE YOU CAN!! (51 min.)

First Lithium Resources Inc; is a much better investment then LEXG is, and certainly on this low price levels. Do your DD!!
http://www.thestreetsweeper.org/undersurveillance/LEXG__The_Biggest_Snow_Job_of_the_Year_
Yeah some think they will do it in a fortnight ("deploying a coast-to-coast network") and are screaming hell & fire when it doesn't...
It takes time to unfold everything, and from your constant bashing I don't think that you realize that, or are you short, maybe a paid fear monger from the old stenchy lobby...??!!!
The overall market is bearish, so is/was EVCA, and some thought that this would skyrocket to 0.1 - 0.7 in a matter of days...
So those who were looking for an easy multi bagger sold out of frustration or because they have a better wave to ride...
We don't know everything yet so the angst for dilution created a negative hype and the herd followed, but we see a solid core of people who still believes in the business plan no matter what you say or do.
I will laugh all the way to the bank by the EOY or beyond...
<<<GO EVCA GO>>>
He said in about 2 days time so give the man some slack til then, not everyone is a flipper or/and P&D'er you know...
Up til now OB is one of the most respected members on this board and I'm not expecting BS from him... He provides immaculate DD and is a straight up guy IMO...
OB said something about 2 days...
I've noticed that too and take it with a grane of salt, a big one.
Like, where is that Awaken dude, for weeks he posted claims like that and is suddenly fallen of the face of the planet...
PS: I tend to believe it when I see it...
PSS: TY for TIA
<<<go evca go>>>
Someone said that there's a PR coming this week, and if I'm correct, OB talked about getting information in about two days time...
PS: Always wanted to ask, but what does the abbreviation TIA stand for?
When you look at the SEC/Edgar site you'll see that EVCA has a habbit of filing late, about 7 or 8 times by now, but they akways file the necessary documents in time after this type of filling.
So there's not really a problem here...
Absolutely true, if it weren't for those anxious conservative people we would've had an all electrical vehikel landscape by now, so in a way we need to thank those oil-junks for obstructing the EV breakthrough all those years, because otherwise we wouldn't have such a cheap stock like EVCA...
As expected, we are witnessing the last spasms from the old lobby who are fighting a losing battle... "We" (EVCA, EV's & believers)will have our moment in the sun, even if it takes several years to get out of the dark-oil-stench shadow...
<<<GO EVCA GO>>>
Ran out of powder last week, avg down to 0.023, so I'm pretty confy with my position. Could be 5-10 bagger in a couple of weeks/months or even by EOY.
Doesn't really matter when, I'm a patient man...
Long & strong!!
Many long holders are adding on these dips, because they won't last for long, (the dips that is )
I'm not gonna give a bottom price for EVCA, because Madam Soleil is going to the theater with nascow to see The Revenge of the Electric Car...
This is a long term play...
GO EVCA GO
Good job composed, as always.
Every form of "free" advertising for EVCA is welcome...
Glad I can give something back after all the DD I've seen from others.
This will attract more people instead of the constant whining...
Heck, we even may educate some folks here...

Better Place, China Southern Grid Sign Strategic Agreement Centered on Battery Switch Model
April 27, 2011
Guangzhou Municipal Government Signs Agreement to Aid New Partnership
TEL AVIV (April 27, 2011) – At a signing ceremony today in Israel with officials from Guangzhou, Better Place announced a strategic agreement with China Southern Power Grid Co. (CSG), the world’s eighth largest utility according to the Fortune Global 500. The agreement, which focuses on joint electric car and infrastructure projects in CSG’s service areas, will further advance electric cars with switchable batteries in China. The agreement calls for the companies to open a battery switch station and joint education center in Guangzhou before the end of the year, while working to formalize a joint-venture partnership.
Underscoring Guangzhou’s support for the Better Place-CSG cooperation, Executive Vice Mayor Wu Yimin today signed an agreement with Better Place Founder and CEO Shai Agassi that calls for the Municipal Government of Guangzhou to assist Better Place and CSG in their efforts to create a supply chain hub and electric car network in China’s third largest city and home to CSG. The Guangzhou accord calls for the municipal government to encourage local car manufacturers, such as Guangzhou Automobile Industry Group, to produce electric cars with switchable batteries. It also calls for the city to promote electric-car adoption in fleet segments including public-sector vehicles and private-sector fleets such as taxis.
“China Southern Grid is an important partner in a huge market that is moving quickly toward the mass-market development of electric cars and is embracing battery switch as the primary means of range extension,” Agassi commented. “Our collaboration with China Southern and the support of the Guangzhou government open the door to new opportunities for switchable-battery electric cars made by Chinese manufacturers for the domestic and export markets.”
“Better Place has conducted extensive research and testing on its battery-switch technology combined with managed charging, which takes into account the attributes and needs of the electric grid as the electric-car industry grows rapidly in China,” said China Southern Grid Chairman Zhao Jianguo.“We believe that networked infrastructure is critical to enable broad adoption and focusing on charging alone would be too costly and time-consuming. The battery-switch model may become mainstream in China and our joint visitor center and battery switch demonstration project with Better Place will help promote electric-car adoption in China by allowing potential customers to experience this innovative solution.”
“Electric cars present a great opportunity for China and are critical to achieve a low carbon economy. We will support this rapidly growing industry by encouraging production of electric cars in the region and promoting adoption in fleets,” said Wu Yimin, Executive Vice Mayor of Guangzhou. “The cooperation between China Southern Grid and Better Place is a strategic step, and both companies will have our full support. We are pleased to host the joint education center, the first of its kind in China, later this year.”
The Better Place-CSG agreement calls for the companies to jointly engage relevant Chinese government bodies and other stakeholders, secure governmental policy support, and promote technical standards, where appropriate, to further accelerate China’s rapidly-growing, electric-car industry. The companies will develop in phases the joint education center to host government and industry delegations and educate Chinese consumers about the benefits of going electric. The center will include interactive exhibits, meeting facilities, electric cars that visitors can test drive, and an automated battery switch station. The facility is slated to open before the end of year in central Guangzhou. Better Place currently operates similar centers near Tel Aviv, Copenhagen, and Toronto, hosting nearly 100,000 visitors per year.
As CSG and Better Place further develop their relationship, the companies also are looking at the potential for a joint commercial operation based on a switchable-battery, network-operator model. Their pilot projects and other joint activities will explore the benefits that switchable-battery electric cars and the networked infrastructure that supports them can deliver to the electric grid in CSG’s service area, which spans five provinces, one million square kilometers, and 230 million people in Southern China.
CSG, which ranks number 156 on the Fortune Global 500 list of the world’s largest corporations, is part of the Electric Vehicle Industry Alliance led by China’s State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, or SASAC. The Chinese government created the alliance of state-owned auto, battery, electric, and oil companies with the ultimate goal of building internationally competitive electric-car brands. The Chinese government has declared the electric-car industry one of seven strategic emerging sectors, stated its intent for China to become the world's largest developer and manufacturer of electric cars, and offered strong support in the form of investment and incentives as the country seeks to leapfrog combustion-engine technology and reduce a growing dependence on oil.
Agassi added, “We are in advanced discussions with a number of Chinese automakers to partner around our open network solution and we will share our selection of preferred partners with the market once a final decision is made.”
By the end of the year, Better Place will have battery switch stations under deployment in countries on four continents, including the U.S., Europe, Australia and now China. The deployments form the basis of a growing network for making electric cars more affordable, convenient and sustainable than today’s cars with internal combustion engines. The Better Place model also offers governments around the world a solution for reducing dependence on oil and its harmful contributions to global climate change and local pollution while growing domestic green jobs.

Better Place Begins Installing Hawaii’s First Electric Car Charging Network
April 19, 2011
HONOLULU (April 19, 2011) – Better Place today announced the initial deployment of its electric car network infrastructure in Hawaii. The installation of the first 10 charge spots across Oahu – five at the Sheraton Waikiki and five at three Hawaiian Electric sites – is the result of cross-sector partnerships between Better Place, Kyo-ya Hotels & Resorts (Kyo-ya), Starwood Hotels & Resorts Waikiki, Hawaiian Electric Company and the Hawaii Renewable Energy Development Venture.
“Better Place’s electric vehicle network is an innovative approach to integrating electric vehicles into our island grids,” said U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye.“This network made up of federal, state and private sector investments is transforming Hawaii’s transportation system into one powered by clean energy from electricity instead of imported oil.I am pleased to have been able to play a small role in reaching this important milestone.”
The project includes seven electric cars. Kyo-ya will operate two of them and Hawaiian Electric will own five of the cars. The cost of this pilot project is approximately $1.1 million, of which about $500,000 in funding was provided through the U.S. Department of Energy and the
Hawaii Renewable Energy Development Venture.
“This partnership between different business sectors is a great example of working togetherto move Hawaii in the direction of energy independence,” Governor Neil Abercrombie said. “Through this collaborative effort we are one step closer to being less dependent on fossil fuels while creating jobs in green technology and keeping money in our local economy.”
“The electrification of transportation will speed the adoption of renewable energy in Hawaii,” said Jason Wolf, Vice President, Better Place North America. “At scale, batteries in electric cars and in our battery switch stations serve as a distributed energy storage network, allowing Hawaiian Electric to tap into the rich diversity of renewable energy sources here. As such, Better Place plays a critical role in helping the State reach its policy objectives as well as creating local jobs.”
Kyo-ya is the first in Hawaii’s visitor industry to participate in this electric car charging network and will use the electric cars as fleet vehicles and shuttles to transport VIP guests between the airport and its four Waikiki hotels.
Hawaiian Electric Company has purchased five electric cars and has installed five chargers as part of this landmark project. The electrification of transportation will allow the utility to bring more renewable energy to the grid.
In the initial pilot phase of the Better Place charging network, the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute of the University of Hawaii will track usage, recharge performance, and grid and driver behavior.
The launch of the electric car charging network “supports the clean-energy goals that
Governor Abercrombie and President Obama have for our state and nation,” said Brian Goldstein, Director, Better Place Hawaii. He added that it marks Better Place’s first in-the-ground milestone not only in Hawaii, but in the United States. “Hawaii can be proud to be showing our nation the way toward a sustainable transportation future,” he said.

Wasn't it Better Place, a comp from Israel?
Well, the demand will gradually increase, in the same patern as with all innovations that came to the public.
Do you honestly think that all the great car manufacturers are going to change their view on the future because of some hydrogen-"bomb".
I don't think so!!
Every brand has their EV model(s), and for sure more to come.
It may take a while but one day there will be more EV's then old gas guzzlers...
Why do see a steady increase in charging stations??
Batteries will improve...
And you can "tank" your car while almost for free with PV's, who on their turn improve every year. (between '13 & '15 = grid parity... and then KABOOOM)
Just in case anyone here does not fully appreciate how the POET tech will fundamentally change several industries in the next little while - here is a summary of announced developments over the last year or so. It is a long read but I will summarize it in 3 words - 'Buy and Hold'.
SHELTON, CONNECTICUT--(Marketwire - Jan. 19, 2010) - ODIS, Inc., announced today that it recently received a $750,000 Award to develop "Monolithic Infra-Red Pixel Structures Enabled by Thyristor-HFET EO Logic". Infra-Red technologies currently require cryogenic cooling to operate and use independent readout integrated circuits. The ODIS technology has been developed to provide the new "state of the art" in integrated approaches to infrared imaging combined with transistor readout circuits.
Dr. Geoff Taylor, Chief Scientist, ODIS, Inc., states that by incorporating these technologies on the same epitaxial structure, the electro-optic operation should enable high sensitivity infra-red imaging in an uncooled environment with significantly improved operating speeds and off-chip communications.
"This breakthrough technology not only has the potential to produce tremendous cost savings for the U.S. Air Force and Space Missile Command," said Leon (Lee) Pierhal, President, ODIS, Inc. "We expect enhanced reliability and higher resolution for current and future satellite missions. In addition, the technology should be able to reduce the cost and improve performance for several commercial markets which become viable with this new capability".
SHELTON, CONNECTICUT--(Marketwire - April 22, 2010) - Following closely to the previous $750,000 Award in January 2010, ODIS Inc. announced today that it has received two additional AFRL Awards for $850,000, totaling $1.6M so far this year.
The first is a $100,000 Award to develop an "Ultra Low Power RAM", a novel memory cell using the ODIS's optoelectronic thyristor within its III-V Planar OptoElectric Technology ("POET"). Very high density and low storage power may be achieved with the cell represented as the cross-point of an array. The memory design will enable it to be fully compatible with integrated optoelectronic CHFET/thyristor logic and optical I/O. Fabricated in radiation hard gallium arsenide ("GaAs"), the structure enables both static and dynamic operation.
ODIS also announced the receipt of a $750,000 Award to develop "Optoelectronic Directional Couplers for Switching Fabric", switching fabric on a single chip is a device technology that is required to enable the coordination and routing of multiple optical input signals to arbitrary multiple output ports without optoelectronic conversation which is essential technology for optical communication switching hubs and routers. Targeted for future military satellite missions, just like the Phase I, it will greatly reduce power requirements and be designed radiation hard.
SHELTON, CONNECTICUT--(Marketwire - Sept. 9, 2010) - ODIS Inc. announced today that it has received a development contract with the Navy Air Warfare Center that will involve a Phase I Award of $150,000. After a period of research conducted by the Navy of ODIS and other competing technologies, the Navy has followed other military branches and chosen ODIS's POET platform as a preferred candidate to develop optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) technology for future avionics systems.
CDMA is widely used in the wireless industry for secure channel allocation to a broad user base. OCDMA has similar potential for the Fiber to the Home (FTTH) application based upon a reduced cost of the optoelectronic interface circuits. ODIS has been awarded a Phase I contract with NAVAIR to develop OCDMA integrated OE circuit approaches for Navy Avionics platforms. The high level of security offered by OCDMA will be deployed at multiple levels in the Department of Defense (DOD) optical avionics multi-core processor networks. The security levels are obtained with the robust encryption techniques afforded by Pseudo-random Noise sequencing in both the time and wavelength domains.
SHELTON, CONNECTICUT--(Marketwire - Jan. 19, 2011) - ODIS Inc. announced today that it has received a development contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA") that will involve a Phase I Award of $100,000. After a period of growing recognition and awards from other United States military branches, NASA has followed the Navy and the Air Force and chosen ODIS's POET platform as a preferred method to develop Optoelectronic infrastructure for RF/Optical phased arrays.
Next generation sensors in space require both optical sensing at 1.5µm and mmw sensing at 35GHz. Normally, separate emitting apertures are required for the optical and RF functions. ODIS will develop the Planar OptoElectronic Technology ("POET") to combine the RF and optical transmit beams for phased array sensors into a single monolithic circuit, with each circuit providing a pixel of the RF array. POET will also enable on-chip electronic control of both RF and optical beam steering angles. With the large number of such spacecraft sensors deployed in extended missions, a huge advantage is gained by the elimination of weight and power along with improvement in reliability.
SHELTON, CONNECTICUT--(Marketwire - March 2, 2011) - OPEL Solar International Inc. ("OPEL" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:OPL) announced today that it is in receipt of a third party valuation of intellectual property developed by its U.S. affiliates OPEL, Inc. and ODIS Inc. The Planar Opto Electronic Technology ("POET"), initially developed by Dr. Geoffrey Taylor at the University of Connecticut and licensed to OPEL, Inc., is a semiconductor fabrication technology that enables the dense packing of digital, analog, and optical circuits on a single gallium arsenide chip. The technology now makes it possible to monolithically integrate a wide number of electronic and optoelectronic functions in a single chip with higher speeds and reduced power consumption compared to Silicon CMOS. For the same functionality, the chip size would be considerably reduced to approximately the size of half a person's thumb nail.
OPEL commissioned a valuation analysis of the POET Technology portfolio ("POET Technology") by an independent, third party valuation firm, Pellegrino & Associates, LLC. The Pellegrino firm performed an analysis of the uses of the POET Technology, the sales it could achieve in its targeted end-markets and likely margins if OPEL can complete its research and development activities successfully and the market adopts the POET Technology. Using a number of valuation techniques and based on technical information provided to it by the Company, the valuation firm has estimated that the POET Technology portfolio could be worth as much as approximately $1 billion. This worth is derived from a range of values; the median value being $966.6 million, while the mean valuation was reported at $1.31 billion.
SHELTON, CONNECTICUT--(Marketwire - April 20, 2011) - OPEL Solar International Inc. ("OPEL" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:OPL) announced today that its U.S. affiliate company, OPEL Defense Integrated Systems ("ODIS") has demonstrated laser operation for the first time in a new integrated device as part of its Planar Optoelectronic Technology ("POET") process.
POET creates high-performance devices by fusing light and electronics together on a single chip. Specifically, POET is a semiconductor-manufacturing technology that enables the monolithic fabrication of integrated circuit ("IC") chips containing both electronic and optical elements. By offering components with dramatically lowered cost, together with increased speed, density, and reliability, POET could potentially allow ODIS to fundamentally alter the landscape for a broad range of applications, such as tablet computers and smartphones.
Based on a proprietary Group III-V materials structure, the pulsed vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) operates at 980nm with a 12µm diameter vertical cavity surface and an output power of 1.7mW. In tandem with ODIS' previously-announced integrated detector - a heterostructure field effect transistor (HFET) device - the laser enables inter-circuit optical connections between electronic devices for on-chip applications.
"This has proven, for the first time, an end-to-end technology for on-chip integration of photonic circuits can manipulate light signals on the same semiconductor framework as electronic signals," noted Leon M. Pierhal, CEO of OPEL. "This technology has the potential to overcome the constraints of copper interconnects in silicon-based chips, and it further validates the years of development invested in ODIS, as reflected in the potential market applications for POET technology, as well as its overall importance to our stakeholders."
no, understand why she did...
Some flip-floppers are dissapointed because this didn't skyrocket as they thought it would and are now pulling back for another race somewhere. Many of them bought at 0.017's and were hoping for a quick double... This gives us longs more cheapies to add while they last. I'm not too bothered with current affairs and have strong believe they will pull it off in the years to come...
Auctus would only need 1330 shares for the drawdown at 188, lol
Heck I'll pay for the financing myself if we get to 188...
My bad, should be 188 (where HDSN is at)
is 182-multidollar enough? Do some DD man... lol
Wouldn't that be a joke eh... let those MM's chase it... lol...
We don't have to be greedy... a cool buck would do the trick...
Raise the stakes folks...
Would you sell that fast...
You guys have much more experience then I do regarding L2 and the fishy actions of MM's, so why doesn't anyone file a complaint with the SEC about this weird behaviour. This is not the first time, and if none of us do something about it, it won't be the last time either. Maybe if we bundle complaints they will look into it....
In the meantime GLTY & GO EVCA GO
OH I see, well, wasn't all that important either...
I can't wait 'til tomorrow, should be very exciting, hopefully we go up on a pr and stay UP...
GLTY
