Title: Investing In EV Technology
Post by: skadamo on January 06, 2011, 11:06:27 PM

I figured I would open a new section on the site to discuss investing in the companies that build the technology we follow so closely.

We all know big money is being pumped into green technology. http://www.resourceinvestor.com/News/2010/12/Pages/The-Great-Race-for-Battery-Technology.aspx (http://www.resourceinvestor.com/News/2010/12/Pages/The-Great-Race-for-Battery-Technology.aspx) (via Nathan Abbott on FB)

I was listening to an Stanford ETL podcast today that mentioned most MIT graduates are going into the energy field where 5 years ago it was not a hot field.  http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=2051 (http://ecorner.stanford.edu/authorMaterialInfo.html?mid=2051)

We all want a brand new production electric motorcycle.

Soooo, why not use our expertise in electric drive to help identify good companies to invest in? In the least it may pay for some batteries for your ebike build. :D

I happen to know that you could invest in Brammo today (http://www.sharespost.com/companies/brammo).  Small detail: minimum purchase is $25,000. 

I used to belong to an investment club.  Every month we met and put in $20.  We researched and voted and pooled our investments.  Maybe we should start an electric motorcycle forum investment club?

If things went the way of an investment club that might be cool. For now I'll probably just drop links to articles I come across. Battery companies have been doing really well. Passed on Tesla for lack of time. ooops. :D
