Confirmation of SEV US's manufacturing site is due. This article jumps the gun a bit, it does seem fairly certain however, that it will be in Kansa City:-

There is a quickly escalating amount of interest being shown in the TAN/SEV-US Kansas story, here are just a couple of items:-

Certainly very lively this morning.

Couldn't resist another 65k; if USA goes according to plan, sp could be double by this time next week. Or not! :o)

You on the same drink as cyril or a dodgey digit or are you cyril in disguise???

I've heard that one before.

Still there is no doubt that some tiddlers are starting to move so why not TAN?

Throw in SEO, AMER and a host of others and I may start smiling again!

yummy yummy

Looking very interesting now!

Think there were only about one million shares traded in morning and now it's up to +4 million

:o) No not Cyril, just me with a renewed faith in TAN! For once I think the US may just do us a big favour the way the 'powers that be' seem to be pushing for ev's.

I'll tell you what this is.

Traders closing out their shorts at the year end or funds buying to make their portfolio look impressive going into the new year. This rise is happening to a few AIM stocks over the past hour and I suggest the reasons are linked.

More possibly a meeting in Kansas City today outlining SEV-US's plans and (rumoured) possible confirmation that the US postal services will be using SEV ev's. I won't believe the latter until I see it in writing but it may just happen. Taking my wife's petrol car for a service now :o)

kimoldfield - youre right - reason for rise is sev-us confirmng opening of factory in Kansas City due at 5.30 pm today (uk time ) Any proposed US Postal services purchases of sev-us vehicles would do wonders to sp.
imho

It'll be back to 6-7p monday

Quite possibly but I wouldn't bet on it!

Well that's the car serviced, 99.92, not bad but would cost that for 5 years servicing of an ev no doubt! Whilst sitting in the customer services area I watched TAN price with interest on my Pocket Surfer; don't know how I did it but I managed to press a wrong button and sold 60k of my top up holding :o( At least I ended up with 5k free shares and cash to take my missus away for a weekend or two :o) Made a mental not not to try drinking coffee with one hand and fiddle with a Pocket Surfer (mini computer that is, to you lot who have dirty minds!) with the other hand!

Balerboy, even if the 'show' in Kansas is not up to much, I can't see the sp coming back below 9p now. But then, I thought I knew what I was doing with a Pocket Surfer!!

Good end to the day.................................

A very good end. A good start on Monday would be even better!
