Enova Participates in Presidential Initiative Kickoff; President Bush Seeks Continued `Entrepreneurial Leadership' in Fuel Cells

    TORRANCE, Calif.--Feb. 10, 2003--Enova Systems (OTCBB:ENVA) announced that Enova President and CEO Carl Dean Perry and board member James Strock were among invited guests at President Bush's February 6th kickoff of his hydrogen fuel cell initiative, announced in his recent State of the Union address.
    Speaking at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., President Bush called for continued "entrepreneurial leadership," toward meeting his goal of seeing that "our grandchildren's first car" would be powered by fuel cells.
    Mr. Perry and other leaders from across the spectrum of industries involved in the fuel cell effort were present.
    Responding to President Bush's challenge, Enova's Perry stated: "By making fuel cells a national priority -- and by linking their development to national security, oil independence, environmental protection and technological advancement -- President Bush is significantly boosting our industry. Enova looks forward to assisting his administration and the congress as they refine the president's $1.2 billion investment."
    To obtain a hands-on sense of the remarkable progress of the hydrogen sector, President Bush examined fuel cell vehicles and components. Among those displaying were Ford Motor Co., UTC Fuel Cell (United Technologies) and ChevronTexaco -- with whom Enova has ongoing, previously announced teaming, partnership and/or component supplier relationships.
    Enova currently produces or has in development several power management and power conversion components which may be applied to a variety of both mobile and stationary applications where fuel cells will be the primary power source. Enova's Fuelcell Care Unit, High Energy Converter and other products are well-suited to the demanding needs of these fuel cell applications.
