Folks who actually make money playing the stock market will tell you that the real opportunity to turn a profit trading equities comes not when things are calm, but during periods of volatility. This principal is more or less true in the world of retail, as well.
America was once home to a number of electric-car manufacturers. It very likely will be again, and fairly soon.
Once consumers became able to play music wirelessly, Bluetooth speaker manufacturers seemed to spring into existence from seemingly nowhere, filling a product vacuum that one might have assumed would have been filled by traditional component stereo makers.
And now, as the auto industry begins its inevitable transition to building electric vehicles, we find that never-before-heard-of makers are showing up at auto shows with concept vehicles that we are assured will see production in just a couple of years.
Drive Software Company
Are these companies a real threat to traditional carmakers? Maybe, maybe not. As Tesla continues to struggle to profitably build electric cars and crossovers, we’re forced to recognize how difficult it can be to enter the new-vehicle market as an upstart manufacturer.
That said, not every one of these companies will fail, and that’s why we present them here. Below are nine electric-car companies you may not have heard of yet that are planning to sell cars in the U.S. relatively soon.
Do any of these companies have a real shot at success? Let us know what you think. The place to leave comments is down below.

Wipe SSDs (Solid StateDrives)
Need to wipe solid state drives? Since 2011, WipeDrive has been a market leader in comprehensively wiping SSD drives by removing security freeze locks to ensure there are no hidden or locked areas of the drive that are missed. Erasing SSDs is a priority for many companies because they retain their value better than traditional platter hard drives allowing them to re-coupe part of their cost or re-use the drives internally. WipeDrive can wipe any SSD drive that is free from manufacturer defects.
Completely Erase All Your Hard Drive Data
WipeDrive erases 100% of your data, operating system and programs. Erased data is impossible to recover, even with the most advanced tools. According to the NSA, data erased by WipeDrive 'is permanently destroyed as to make any type of forensic data recovery impossible.'
Most Highly-Certified Wiping Technology
WipeDrive is the only wiping software in the world certified to EAL 2+ criteria. Certified by the Common Criteria Standard, WipeDrive meets most major national and international certifications and standards. Simply put, it's the best wiping technology available today.
Cost Savings
WipeDrive is typically a fraction of the cost of physically destroying hard drives and other storage hardware. We'll even match or beat the price of competitive software offerings.
Trusted by the U.S. Government and Fortune 500 Companies
WipeDrive is approved and used exclusively by the Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force, and is a trusted provider for many Fortune 100 companies such as GM and Humana. Now the exact same wiping technology is available to the public.

If you run out of licenses after business hours or on the weekend, you won't be stuck. Simply go online and purchase more licenses through our client portal.
WipeDrive Dongle
The WipeDrive Dongle allows you to manage your licenses to best suit your needs. Transfer licenses to the dongle for wiping in an environment without internet connectivity or leave your licenses in the cloud if you're always connected.

Wipe Internal/External Hard Drives Simultaneously
WipeDrive Small Business can wipe up to 20 internal/external hard drives concurrently on a server/computer. This concurrent wiping will save you time and money.
If you need to wipe more hard drives concurrently, WipeDrive Enterprise will wipe up to 100 internal/external hard drives concurrently and will start on the 101st hard drive once the first hard drive has completed.
Environmentally and Socially Responsible
WipeDrive contributes toward the zero-land-fill initiative by helping companies re-use and recycle their storage hardware rather than trash it.
By wiping and donating your retired storage hardware you not only avoid contributing to the land fill but can help schools or charitable organizations in need of computer hardware.
Upgrades Included
Small Business customers receive minor upgrades (e.g. from 8.1 to 8.2) free of charge as they become available. There's no need to worry about your user licenses becoming outdated.
Phone, Email, and Web Support
We provide customers with free support (for up to 6 months after the purchased version of the software is superseded). We'll work with you to resolve any problems.
Compatible with Windows, Mac, or Any x86 Architecture
WipeDrive is compatible with all machines running on an x86 architecture including all versions of Windows and all versions of Mac in the last 10 years. In fact, you can run WipeDrive directly from a CD without even starting the operating system.
