Press Release Body = POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta B.C., July 25, 2007 -
InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry research resource portal
specialized in sector investing, issues the Sector Close Up - Electric Automotive
Stocks, a review of electric automotive stocks as innovation drives investment.
Investors are taking notice as they are realizing that what is good for the
environment can also be very good for the wallet. Leading the way to a 'green'
future is the electric vehicle market that offers consumers cost savings through
efficiency, while at the same time giving investors following the sector, strong
upside potential. Stocks in this segment have also received a boost as oil prices
remain above $70 per barrel, and global warming has become a top priority among
politicians and consumers.

Overcoming some of the historical challenges found within the electric car market
are companies that have placed their focus on research and development to introduce
next generation transportation systems to the market. Recent announcements within
this market have added a sense of confidence in electric vehicles as a viable
transportation alternative.

a supply agreement with Advanced Battery Technologies (OTCBB: ABAT) for polymer
lithium and nano batteries. The contract, valued at more than $5 million, will

electric vehicles.

hybrid-electric and electric powertrains for commercial vehicles, recently announced
