New Optimism for EVs in 2021 Drives Growth Opportunities for ev Transportation Services Inc.

  • The new year, with a pro-EV president and recent inclusion into a regional municipal group purchasing program, creates exciting potential for evTS
  • evTS’s vehicles and fleet-management solutions designed to provide environmentally friendly platform
  • New 2021 FireFly ESV model offers attractive updated features, upgrade options

The election of a new pro-EV president, and an agreement to sell its all-electric utility vehicles through a group purchasing program, represents significant potential for ev Transportation Services. Founded in 2015, the company’s focus on its electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturing mission could be seeing an impressive payoff in the coming months.

President-elect Joe Biden, who will be sworn into office Jan. 20, 2021, is known as a car guy who sees EVs as the future of transportation. He has announced a Cash for Clunkers–type plan that offers incentives to trade in less-efficient vehicles for America-made EVs. He has also stated that he wants to replace the government’s fleet of vehicles with EVs (https://ibn.fm/uXtpB).

In tandem with the nation’s political transition, evTS has reached an agreement with the metropolitan Boston-area Metropolitan Area Planning Council (“MAPC”) and the Greater Boston Police Council (“GBPC”) to offer its EVs for sale (https://ibn.fm/AhXRx). The agreement authorizes the company’s FireFly ESV all-electric commercial utility vehicles to be sold under the agencies’ Group Purchasing Program contract for 2021 within the 101 cities and towns of the metropolitan area.

“We are excited to include an electric vehicle manufacturer (‘evTS’) from Massachusetts in an MAPC Public Works and Public Safety Cooperative Purchasing Program for the first time,” said MAPC Director of Municipal Collaboration Mark Fine.

The company’s all-electric, light-duty commercial vehicles and fleet-management solutions provide an environmentally friendly platform using the safest lithium-ion battery technology available. They have a robust suspension design and are capable of quickly reaching speeds up to 50 mph, while still remaining highly maneuverable in tight urban situations.

In September evTS also announced its new 2021 FireFly ESV model as an upgrade to previous vehicles. The updated version will feature additional leg room and a larger door for easier access. The added features are part of an improved in-cabin experience with a modernized feel (https://ibn.fm/4TrRz).

evTS utility vehicles are fully street legal and designed to serve a wide range of functions. The company notes that its Firefly vehicles are ideal for parking management, security and perimeter patrol, parks and sidewalk maintenance, utility meter reading, property and building management, and use at airports, seaports, and university and corporate campuses. In addition, the vehicles are perfect for last mile on-demand urban delivery for shipped packages hot or cold foods and other retail products.

The 2021 model also offers upgrade features such as in-vehicle Wi-Fi and an internet-accessible vehicle-management system to allow remote diagnostics. This is on top of the FireFly ESV’s automated performance monitoring that includes low-battery warnings and other alerts. The ESV’s customizable modular design allows it to be adapted to varying service industry needs, and the 2021 model adds new rear-bed accessory options for further possibilities. Those may include an electronic lift dump, a refuse hauler, a van box, a utility bed with locking compartments and ladder racks, and other cleaning, sweeping or watering accessories that give it an advantage over the competition.

evTS is strengthening its position at an ideal time. The essential services transportation and urban mobility markets represent an annual domestic replacement market of approximately 100,000 vehicles, or roughly $2.5 billion annually, according to the company.

CannAssist International Corp.’s (CNSC) Proprietary Technology Offers Superior Absorption, Efficacy

  • Imperial College of London review suggests that cannabis-based medicinal products offer significant relief from intractable epilepsy
  • CNSC produces proprietary CBD products under the Xceptol brand that are created with branded Technology CiBiDinol that increases absorbability, bioavailability, shelf life
  • Third-party Xceptol testing shows 300% increased gut absorption, 400% increased skin penetration when compared to mainstream CBD oil products
Researchers from the Imperial College of London recently conducted a review that examined the impact of cannabis-based medicinal products containing cannabidiol (“CBD”) on the frequency of epileptic seizures and determined that they offer patients significant relief from intractable epilepsy (https://ibn.fm/TDwpd). As scientific evidence supporting the use of CBD becomes mainstream, concerns about absorbability, shelf life and bioavailability continue to mount. CannAssist International (OTCQB: CNSC) is dedicated to addressing these problems through the creation of CBD products using their branded technology CiBiDinol specifically created to overcome these critical issues.  Marketed under the Xceptol consumer brand, CNSC’s line of products promise increased efficacy, absorption and bioavailability for superior results and efficiency per dose. Treating epilepsy using CBD is not a new phenomenon. One of the best-known cases dates back to 2012 and concerns Charlotte Figi, a little girl who suffered up to 300 grand mal seizures per week that kept her confined to a wheelchair. The use of CBD oil to treat her condition reduced the number of seizures to 2-3 per month and sparked the medical marijuana movement that catalyzed the lifting of prohibitions on cannabis-based products throughout the United States (https://ibn.fm/dy5YL). The Imperial College of London review mirrors those results through a study that reported a 97% reduction in the monthly frequency of seizures when patients received whole-plant extract cannabis treatment. “Patients and their families deserve better, so we implore policy makers, regulators and public health bodies to prioritize the health of these individuals and help them to access in the NHS medicines which are making a dramatic improvement to their lives,” said Rayyan Zafar, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Brain Sciences at the Imperial College of London (https://ibn.fm/NIb3h). Quality is a primary concern among consumers of CBD, particularly as it enters the mainstream to include new users across a wide range of demographics. CNSC uses a quality-focused proprietary process where CBD molecules are combined with penetration-enhancing cyclodextrin in order to modify the surface of the molecule and render it water dispersible. Besides enhanced potency, Xceptol products were found via third-party testing to have a 400% increase in skin penetration along with a 300% increase in the rate of gut absorption when compared to regular oil-based CBD (https://ibn.fm/PgOMt). Established in May 2017, CannAssist is headquartered in San Diego, California. The company’s Xceptol products are also sold online through the Range Me product marketplace and multiple international sales channels that include Central America, South America, South Africa, the EU, the UK and the Philippines.

EV Battery Costs Down Nearly 90%, Net Element Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) Upshifting into EV Industry via Mullen Technologies Merger

  • Recent industry report suggests that EV battery costs are down nearly 90%
  • Analysts predicting that falling EV battery prices will make EVs cost-competitive in several years
  • NETE planning to divest its current business model in order to enter EV industry through reverse merger with privately-held Mullen Technologies Inc.
  • Mullen currently taking pre-orders for five-passenger MX-05 SUV, Dragonfly K50 sports car

Rapidly falling electric vehicle (“EV”) battery prices are fueling predictions that it will be easier and cheaper to build and market EVs within a few years (https://ibn.fm/MYD7s). In a bold move aiming to leverage these changing market conditions, Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE), a global financial technology and payments processing company, is planning to divest its payments processing model so it can enter the EV industry through a proposed reverse merger with Mullen Technologies, a privately-held California-based EV manufacturer.

The EV industry continues to grow by leaps and bounds, and research suggests that EVs may eventually dominate gas-powered cars in many sectors (https://ibn.fm/dr6cA). While government mandates, policy-initiatives and consumer preferences are pushing demand higher, falling battery prices are expected to make EVs economically feasible on the supply side in the next few years.

The effect of falling battery prices appears to be contributing to industry momentum, fueled by recent surveys that suggest costs have decreased by nearly 90%. Analysts predict that battery costs are likely to continue falling and may reach a point where manufacturers will be able to make and sell mass-market EVs at the same cost as cars that are powered by fossil fuels.

Before most of this news hit the mainstream, NETE took action in early 2020 by announcing plans to divest itself of its current business model in order to enter the EV industry through a reverse merger with privately-held Mullen Technologies. Following the required approvals, the transaction will allow Mullen stakeholders to obtain the majority of stock in the new company while also catalyzing the process of taking the company public.

“We continue working diligently in an effort to finalize the Mullen merger for the benefit of our shareholders,” said Net Element Executive Chairman Oleg Firer (https://ibn.fm/VRO4m).

Through its subsidiary Mullen Energy, Mullen Technologies is currently engaged in innovating its own battery technology in addition to taking pre-orders for its five-passenger MX-05 SUV and Dragonfly K50 sports car. Following the merger, the company is planning to build and lease 1.3 million square feet of assembly and manufacturing space in Washington while expanding its industry footprint through subsidiaries that include Mullen Auto Sales, Mullen Finance Corp., and a digital marketplace called CarHub.

The EV industry continues to make headlines throughout the world as governments continue to mandate carbon-neutral transportation policies. As the industry continues to ramp up in terms of investor interest and stock valuations, NETE’s plan to enter the EV industry appears to be the right decision at precisely the right time.

Clean Power Capital Corp. (CSE: MOVE) (OTC: MOTNF) (FWB: 2K6A) Enhances Investment Profile with CSE Indices Placement, NASDAQ Strategy

  • British Columbia-based investment holding company Clean Power Capital Corp. is building a focused strategy for helping the hydrogen energy renewables sector to develop at a critical juncture in its history
  • Clean Power recently announced its appearance on the Canadian Securities Exchange has been enhanced by listing on two of the CSE’s indices — the CSE Composite Index (R) and the CSE25 (TM) index
  • Clean Power Capital is also examining the potential for uplisting to the NASDAQ exchange as part of the company’s strategy for building investment interest in the United States
  • The company’s U.S. strategy was bolstered during the past year when it obtained a 90 percent controlling interest in U.S. company PowerTap Hydrogen Fueling, a key part of its renewables portfolio
  • PowerTap appointed the CEO founder of leading global renewables company Amp Energy to the company’s advisory board recently to improve that company’s growth strategy
Holding company Clean Power Capital (CSE: MOVE) (FWB: 2K6) (OTC: MOTNF) is receiving increased attention to its mission of shepherding health and renewable energy enterprises toward their growth potential thanks to Clean Power’s entry on two Canadian Securities Exchange indices — the CSE Composite Index (R) and the CSE25 (TM) index. The CSE is an alternative exchange dedicated to micro-cap and emerging companies. Clean Power’s entry on the Composite Index grants it a place of recognition among about 75 percent of the equities on the CSE, particularly those in the Life Sciences sector. The entry on the CSE25 index offers even higher visibility, placing Clean Power among the top 25 companies by market capitalization on the exchange (https://ibn.fm/ax4YR). “It is an honour for the Company to be added to any major index at such an early stage, let alone for it to rank in the top 25 of such an index by market capitalization,” CEO Joel Dumaresq stated as part of the announcement. “Some of North America’s most innovative companies are traded on the CSE, and we are proud to be among leading firms in life sciences, technology, and diversified industries who comprise the CSE Composite Index (R).” Clean Power is examining the possibility of listing common shares on the NASDAQ exchange in the United States to further improve its attractiveness to investors (https://ibn.fm/QMXMG). The establishment of a strategic committee to develop a new capital markets plan focused on the United States demonstrates the company’s determination to move its prospects forward at a pivotal time; the transition of government in the United States to President-elect Joe Biden’s administration signals a new shift toward clean energy policies (https://ibn.fm/7c7QU) such as those promoted by Clean Power through its investments. One key element of Clean Power’s portfolio is its push for an ownership stake in PowerTap Hydrogen Fueling Corp. this year, obtaining 90 percent of the company through the issuance of 106.2 million common shares in Clean Power’s capital to PowerTap’s shareholders under an 18-month escrow release program (https://ibn.fm/g5Bc2). Clean Power believes hydrogen-fueled vehicles have significant advantages over battery electric, gas and diesel vehicles when it comes to their driving range, fueling time and cost per mile, and that hydrogen is due for wider scale public adoption. The company’s acquisition announcement cites industry reports predicting hydrogen will be a $130 billion industry by 2030 in the United States supporting 700,000 jobs. PowerTap reported a new development Dec. 30 when it named the CEO founder of leading global renewables company Amp Energy, Dave Rogers, to PowerTap’s advisory board (https://ibn.fm/5e4o6). “The global energy transition is in full swing and hydrogen will play a critical role in the future as we move away from fossil-based generation and transportation,” Rogers stated as part of the announcement. “The proprietary PowerTap technology provides critical and unique advantages over the rest of the field, which is why I’m particularity excited about helping the company grow rapidly over the coming years.” PowerTap’s proprietary tech strategy consists of using its onsite steam methane reforming (SMR) hydrogen production and dispensing modular units to build a strong network of hydrogen fueling stations throughout California before phased expansion across the United States. The IP’s modular design allows the station technology to be mass produced, to be easily upgraded with new tech developments, and to be relocated as circumstances require.

Josemaria Resources Inc. (TSX: JOSE) (OTCQB: JOSMF) Project Potential Acquisition for One of World’s Largest Gold Mining Companies

  • JOSE’s Josemaria Copper-Gold Project makes list of possible acquisitions as Barrick Gold eyes expansion into copper space
  • Barrick CEO calls copper “fantastic asset and very strategic”
  • Article notes that JOSE property has proven probable reserves of 6.7 billion lbs. of copper, 7 million ounces of gold, 30 million ounces of silver
Josemaria Resources (TSX: JOSE) (OTCQB: JOSMF), a natural resources company that is offering an advanced-stage copper-gold deposit project located in Argentina, is on a short list of potential acquisitions Barrick Gold may be looking at, according to a “Dear Retail” article (https://ibn.fm/brYUr). The article notes that Barrick currently owns a copper mine in Zambia as well as interests in two additional projects, one in Chile and one in Saudi Arabia. However, the company’s copper output is relatively small and certainly “no match for copper giants like BHP, Glencore, Freeport-McMoran and Anglo American.” The article, titled “Why Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD) Could Acquire These Copper-Gold Projects,” notes that Barrick Gold president and CEO Mark Bristow, who joined the company in early 2019, sees a tremendous value in copper. “As gold miners, we’re going to have to take on other assets, and copper is a good thing to own,” Bristow said earlier this year (https://ibn.fm/SFEFE). “It’s a fantastic asset and very strategic.” Bristow has spoken openly of his plans to expand the company’s copper business. The “Dear Retail” article reports that “with proven probable reserves of 6.7 billion lbs. of copper, 7 million ounces of gold and 30 million ounces of silver, Josemaria is a large-scale, undeveloped deposit in Argentina’s pro-mining San Juan province that is expected to begin commercial production in 2026. Barrick has history with both San Juan and the Lundin Group – Josemaria is not far from the Lundin Group’s previous discovery, the Veladero gold deposit, which was acquired by Homestake Mining after the Lundins fought off a hostile bid by Barrick, who later bought Homestake in order to gain ownership of Veladaro.” Josemaria recently presented at the Metals & Mining Live Virtual Investor Conference, where company leaders provided an update of its wholly owned Josemaria copper-gold mining project, the Josemaria Copper-Gold Project. Based on a company feasibility report (https://ibn.fm/QdrkS). the Argentina-based mine is forecast to generate an average annual production of 136,000 tonnes of copper, 231,000 ounces of gold, and 1,164,000 ounces of silver over its 19-year life span. Bristow’s interest in copper — and potentially Josemaria — certainly makes sense. Forecasts for copper production at the Josemaria mine are equal to almost 1% of the annual global supply (https://ibn.fm/o9RH1). This projection makes the mine an attractive target, especially in light of the fact that copper’s electrical and thermal conductivity make it essential to the production of electrical conductors, switches, transformers and wiring. “Analysts have said that in order to compete with this group of companies, the most logical option would be for Barrick to make a major acquisition, and we would wager that Bristow is thinking along the same lines,” the article states. “Barrick is well positioned to make such a strategic acquisition. The strength of gold prices in 2020 has helped it to pay down debt and improve its balance sheet, and in an earnings call with investors in May, Bristow said this year offered a ‘dynamic M&A environment.’ . . . . This industry needs to consolidate, and it needs to consolidate with assets that are related, that are not disparate. . . and copper and gold have a close association.’” Josemaria Resources is a Canadian natural resources company based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company’s current focus is on advancing the development of its wholly owned Josemaria copper-gold mining project. Josemaria Resources is part of the Lundin Group of companies, a conglomerate of 13 business entities operating in the mining, oil and gas and renewables sectors around the world.

CannAssist International Corp. (CNSC) Flagship Brand Approved, Included by Powerful Online Platform

  • Acceptance of Xceptol products on RangeMe website new revenue source, increasing SKUs and access to retailers
  • RangeMe enables retail buyers to discover innovative, emerging products; empowers suppliers to manage, grow their brands
  • CannAssist developed Xceptol brand to offer effective health and wellness solutions without side effects
CannAssist International (OTCQB: CNSC) has announced that its flagship brand — Xceptol — has been approved and included by the distribution website RangeMe (https://ibn.fm/c55wi). Xceptol’s inclusion on the website means increasing SKUs, access to more than 10,000 retailers, and a significant new revenue source for CNSC. “This is exciting news for us on many fronts,” said CannAssist CEO Mark Palumbo. “A process estimated to take weeks was accomplished in a few days — a testament, I feel, to the quality of the Xceptol brand. Also gratifying is being included on the RangeMe website, a significant portal for major retailers to find products for their customers.” RangeMe is an online platform that enables retail buyers to efficiently discover innovative and emerging products while empowering suppliers to manage and grow their brands with the tools, insights, and services they need. In the announcement, CNSC noted that RangeMe had added Xceptol drops and capsules to the Xceptol pain-cream products that are available on the RangeMe platform. The inclusion brings the number of available Xceptol SKUs on RangeMe to 10, with additional SKUs coming in Q1 2021. RangeMe’s broad network creates a significant new revenue source for CannAssist International. CannAssist developed its exclusive Xceptol brand, along with CiBiDinol or water-compatible cannabidiol, with the objective of offering powerful health and wellness solutions without troublesome side effects (https://ibn.fm/cdrAF). Team members had extensive experience and background with science, health care and conventional pharmaceutical therapies and recognized the need for a different approach to treatment of acute and chronic pain. CannAssist experts began exploring ways to solve inherent issues with CBD delivery and bioavailability — CiBiDinol and the Xceptol brand are the result. Xceptol products feature CiBiDinol and offer better absorption than oil-based products currently available. CiBiDinol provides CBD in a format that is more in line with the body’s natural bioactivity and is specifically designed to tackle issues with oil-soluble CBD molecules, such as delivery, bioavailability and short shelf-life. Xceptol products also offer more predictable potency. CNSC’s Xceptol Pain Cream is a CBD product with industry-defining reliability and compliance. Possessing a National Drug Code (“NDC”), the highest quality ingredients and the game-changing CiBiDinol, the pain cream is fast gaining attention in the pain-treatment space and is leading the way for other Xceptol products to follow. CannAssist believes Xceptol represents the next step for CBD products. Established in 2017, CannAssist is headquartered in San Diego County, California, and is the owner of Xceptor Labs, a biotechnological pharmaceutical and wellness company. CannAssist is currently focused on marketing its Xceptol brand, which is why the RangeMe announcement is so significant.

Friendable Inc. (FDBL) Fan Pass Forges Ahead as Artists Race for Digital Engagement with Fans

  • Digital drives key trends that will shape entertainment industry, according to “Variety” article
  • Live streaming, virtual engagement, personal interaction between artists and fans are critical factors
  • Fan Pass to thrive as company develops solutions that match trends
Digital technology is proving itself indispensable in both pandemic and post-pandemic environments, according to a recent “Variety” article  (https://ibn.fm/WTNec). That prediction paints the ideal setting for Friendable (OTC: FDBL) and it’s Fan Pass platform to excel in the years to come. According to the article, titled “10 Predictions for Media & Entertainment in 2021,” as the pandemic shuttered physical venues and live events, artists and celebrities who embraced digital technology early to remain connected to their fan base were successful in preserving — and even increasing — their income. However, the article notes that virtual engagement with fans around the world goes beyond live streaming of music to include direct messaging with celebrities and other forms of more personal interaction between fans and artists. The massive yet largely untapped market of fans willing to spend to connect with their favorite celebrities may prove essential even after the pandemic when the world returns to a more physical way of functioning than today. The new generation of solutions that augments rather than replaces the live, real-world performances will be beneficial to artists both as a hedge against future pandemic threats and as a tool to enhance their interactions with fans during more normal times, the article predicts. The article also emphasizes the impact of quarantine on the rapid adoption and wide acceptance of live streaming and other forms of technology-enabled remote engagement and collaboration. Digital technology further enhances this new reality with the development of industry-specific and optimized solutions for virtual creation, collaboration, and production tools, offering new solutions for enhancing virtual engagement. As a mobile technology and marketing company focused on connecting and engaging users through its proprietary mobile and desktop application, Friendable launched Fan Pass to help artists engage with their fans around the world and earn revenue in the pandemic environment that prevented live, in-person events. The platform offers a livestreaming service, allowing music artists to create exclusive channels for offering their content to the fans. Additionally, the Fan Pass team will provide exclusive VIP experiences, interviews and behind-the-scenes content featuring the platform’s favorite artists. Although vaccines make re-opening appear more likely than ever before, certain aspects of the entertainment industry are forever changed as technology found its way into an increasing number of aspects of today’s world. With prolonged uncertainty surrounding the comeback of live performances, Friendable feels that the demand from artists for virtual-stage performances will grow stronger. Fan Pass offers a hybrid model relevant even after the end of the pandemic, as it can continue to build virtual relationships between artists, labels and fan communities worldwide while helping them transition back to in-person performances. For more information about Friendable or the Fan Pass platform, visit www.Friendable.com or www.FanPassLive.com.

SRAX Inc.’s (NASDAQ: SRAX) Sequire Offers Key Data Management, Analytics as Companies Look for Valuable Expertise, Insight

  • NASDAQ article reports verticalization, specialization of data and analytics platforms will take on growing importance in coming year
  • Sequire platform offers new level of domain expertise, knowledge
  • Since its launch, Sequire has gained more than 1 million active investors, traders from 91 public companies
A recent NASDAQ article noting the top 10 data analytics trends for 2021 reported that the verticalization and specialization of data and analytics platforms will take on growing importance in the new year (https://ibn.fm/irU4C). SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a digital marketing and consumer data-management technology company, appears to be ideally positioned to thrive within those expectations. “The need for analytics is well-established, and generic platforms that crunch data and create visualizations have matured,” reported the NASDAQ article, which was titled “What Data Analytics Will Look Like in 2021 — And How to Capitalize On It.” The article continued, noting that “enterprises will now expect a level of domain expertise and knowledge of how data and analytics can support specific use cases, and thus will gravitate towards platforms that can meet their needs more specifically with capabilities such as risk modeling for insurance, or in the case of Signals Analytics, marketing intelligence to support the product life cycles. With 80% of analytics projects failing, this will be one way that companies will be able to buck the trend.” Domain expertise and knowledge is at the core of Sequire, an investor intelligence and communications platform created by SRAX in 2019. Sequire gathers and analyzes data about stock buyers’ behaviors and trends for issuers of publicly traded companies, allowing those issuers to use audience insights to capture the interest of existing investors and attract new ones. Since its launch, Sequire has gained more than 1 million active investors and traders from 91 public companies (https://ibn.fm/eSG5s). Originally called SRAX IR, the data-management platform was renamed Sequire because that name better represents the platform’s main objective of gathering, managing and analyzing data to acquire and secure investors for publicly traded companies (https://ibn.fm/71Mus). Sequire’s intelligent technologies distinguish it from other offerings in the world of data collection and reinforce the company’s focus on innovation and uniqueness in the marketplace (https://ibn.fm/51XDL). SRAX is dedicated to building the largest and most reliable opted-in data sets across many industry verticals; accurately identifying target consumers for brands and companies in the CPG, investor relations, luxury, and lifestyle spaces; and keeping those brands ahead in the competitive curve with high-quality data. The Company also provides other verticals, including SRAX Core, a custom digital media-management platform that enables brands and agencies to surpass the challenges of omnichannel marketing campaigns; SRAX Social, a free social media management tool that makes it easy for brands, agencies and individuals to grow their digital presence; SRAX Auto, which unlocks auto intenders’ data to create measurable connected experiences on the road to purchase; SRAX Shopper, which delivers a cross-channel, premium digital experience at scale to high-value shopper audiences; and SRAX Lux, which targets and reaches consumers at luxury retail stores as well as high-end art, music, film, fashion and sports events, across all consumer devices.
