HPEV Inc.'s (OTCQB: WARM) share volume continued to soar on May 7th with 264,805 shares exchanging hands, significantly higher than its three month average of 166,399 shares.

HPEV management sees tremendous market potential in not only the disaster relief and utility marketplace, but also in retail, construction, mining, and military markets.
HPEV closed at $1.30, down 12.75% from its previous close of $1.49.
