Why investing in the power instead of the company.

Warren Buffett stunned the market back in September 2008 when he announced that he was investment $250 million in a Chinese electric car company.

It was stunning because Buffett seemed to violate one of his own rules of investing: Invest in companies you understand.

He was almost excited to tell people that he made an investment he knew nothing about.   But the reason for that was his intuition and sympathy of where the lithium-ion industry would be strongest.

 

So here is exactly why he pulled out his wallet.

 

Because he knows that electric cars are a bonded winner.

Now, we’re not recommending GM, Nissan, or any other automobile stock list that’s development electric cars. . .

 

 

Instead, we’re bullish on the commodity that is vital to the battery engineering science that’ll be used in electric cars: lithium.

Doesn’t that make sense?  Why invest in an engine, when you can invest in what the engine gets its power from.  SMART AH!

This specific play that I am talk about has the highest grade hard rock lithium deposit in north America.

now there are many lithium stocks out there that will never be able to produce battery grade lithium.  This specific lithium stock has the best battery grade lithium in North America.

Learn all about this lithium stock and why it’s set to skyrocket in our new report The Best Way To Profit from the Lithium Bull Market, by signing up below.

So what makes lithium battery grade lithium anyway? SBGL is a lithium carbonate manufactured for solid ion conductors and monocrystals used in the electronics industry. Lithium Carbonate is extracted from raw hard rock lithium and is the Department of Energy storage unit for the lithium-ion battery  (lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide).

Nissan To Take Control Of Electric Car Industry With the New Leaf

The new Nissan Leaf is an all electric car and buyers will get tax credits from the government along with rebates. You will soon see the NIssan Leaf on roads near you as it has no emissions and is due to come out in December. There are over 20,000 plus people who have already reserved the all electric car. The reason behind some of these perks is that the government wants to stimulate demand on this electric vehicle. Other benefits besides rebate checks from the government will fall in the hands of those with a high fico credit score and who are the ones who take the first mover advantage.

Slowly integrating this electric car, it will first have sales in California, Washington, Arizona, and others. Buyers will also get credit to buy a charging device to charge the car. By the end of this year you may see a lot more electric cars from Nissan on the highways. It will reduce the nations dependency on fossil fuels and is a good idea that we all should take advantage of. With gas prices rising, more and more customers are looking to electric cars to save them money in the long haul. You’ll be saving in the long term and not buying stupid things because you feel bad. You don’t want to be that person that goes into debt and has to go into collections credit scores so that you can pay your bills.

We mentioned the fair isaac credit score and how it will have an effect on the type of loan people get. The first auto company to dominate the electric car niche will likely have a stronghold over the other companies. Another more expensive alternative is the Chevy Volt which has been in production for which seems an eternity. Nissan is doing a great job with their public relations team and going to customers individually to help any issues at hand. Nissan is making a step in the right direction by being a company that stands behind their product. An example is Toyota with it’s throttle system that malfunctioned and made them look bad.

What is your opinion about the NIssan Leaf?

Understanding How Hybrid Cars Work

More Americans are weighing whether to sell conventional gas-guzzling clunkersand opting for a more innovative car and instead buying a more cutting edge type of car~ and purchasing a new kind of car} that can cut fuel consumption by half. These high tech vehicles are labeled as hybrid cars. What’s more, hybrid vehicles release less greenhouse gasses into the atmospherethat the cars that preceded them. That means, the more of us there are driving hybrid cars, everyone will be better off.

Now that you know a little more about why so many are interested in hybrids you might also be interested to learn a bit about what makes them work.

How Hybrid Cars Work

Overall, what hybrids do is actually use two types of energy, gas and electricity to power the car. To begin with, it’s important to know that the electric part of the engine is only working while the car is idling and this is when the gasoline engine is turned off. That meansthe hybrid is an electric car while sitting in traffic or at lights. This helps to explain why you can hardly hear a hybrid while it’s idling in a driveway or at an intersection. This is also why it can effectively conserve fuel consumption. Once you step on the accelerator, the internal combustion engine will automatically start up again. There are even hybrid vehicles that are able to run solely on electric power. This is an especially desirable feature for those who just use the car for quick local trips. You may not need to gas up the car for a considerable period of time.

However, in any hybrid, long trips will require fuel. Perhaps, you could imagine that the combustion engine is just a backup for the more efficient electric one.

That’s all it takes- a battery to hold backup energy, a generator, an internal combustion engine, a fuel tank,plus a motor that’s electric.

Now that you know how hybrid cars work, you probably also have a better handle as to why you should be driving one. Having a hybrid in your driveway will not only cut down on the amount of fuel you put into your gas tank each month, but you will also help save the environment by emitting far lower toxic fumes than conventional cars.

Nissan Leaf And Chevy Leaf To Guide Future of Cars

Nissan and Chevy have emerged as 2 contenders of the alternative fuel market space that is largely being driven by research and developments in the electric car and zero-emission technology. Who will eventually control a major stake of electric car market space is a very tough question. To be honest, it’s more speculation that anything if someone was to pick one winner.

However, if someone was to pick a winner of these 2, then I will definitely go with Nissan at this point of time. And there are some very important reasons for me to say that Nissan has an edge over Chevy as far as Leaf Vs. Volt comparison is concerned.

To begin with, Leaf has been so successful in creating hype for the zero-emission Nissan Leaf that the overall brand recognition and strength for Nissan Leaf is quite strong. If you remember the massive exposure that Nissan Leaf generated by virtue of its road shows, you will understand that the buzz around Leaf is unparalleled.

Then we follow it with an actual product comparison and you will realize that Chevy’s Volt is not exactly a pure electric car. It is in fact a hybrid that has a mileage of 40 miles on electric charge. Now, if you compare this with Leaf then Leaf is a 100% Zero-Emission electric car and on a full-charge it has a mileage of 100 miles. Comparing 40 miles to 100 miles, I can say that for someone who is on the road for most part of the day, a Leaf is a better choice.

I understand that there will be some folks who prefer hybrid on account of a potential situation that requires long-distance travel and the ease of gas availability. However, Leaf is a city car that is meant for daily commute. Besides, it’s an entirely new technology that has not been implemented commercially at a mass level. Hence the success of Leaf will catapult Nissan to an altogether different level. We cannot say the same for Volt because the market has already seen a lot of hybrid cars including the Prius.

And to end the debate, by virtue of using zero-emission technology, Leaf is entitled to better tax benefits and rebates. Consider the example of California and you will realize that Leaf is eligible for a $5000 State rebate while Volt gets a lower rebate on account of being hybrid. And California has been a pioneer in adopting new and green emission technology; thereby ensuring that other States will also follow some sort of a precedent set by California.

All in all, Nissan stands to gain more by investing in a new technology and leading the field by developing and marketing a totally new product that could prove to be a major mover and shaker of the automotive industry across the world.
