Easy Energy (OTCBB: ESYE) Closed at $0.09. Today announced that it has completed finalization of the design of the smaller of its two models of YoGen® chargers and is now ready to outline its timetable for placing the two YoGen® models into mass production.

This is truly an exciting time for Easy Energy."
