Touched by Angels

Ted Flittner’s sustainability focus began during nearly three years of world travel. His electric car enthusiasm sparked during WorldFest 2003 after meeting Linda Nicholes, a model for sustainable living. Ted realized that solar electric power and electric vehicles (EV) are an imparitive for sustaining our environment.

For Kian-Wee Lim, it started in November 2007 with Mike Kane and Cathy Lam, the angel couple. Kian-Wee had just finished his speaking engagement in San Diego and was passing by Los Angeles before heading to Crolles, France for another intellectual properties knowledge exchange and business engagement. Through Ted, Kian-Wee was introduced to Cathy Lam and her Toyota RAV4 EV. Needless to say, the light bulb went on.

Subsequently, Kian-Wee returned to US in the 1st week of December 2007 joining Ted in attending Electric Vehicle Symposium 23 (EVS23) held at Anaheim, California and the fate of 1AmpleWorld’s creation was permanently sealed.

With EV fever and rapid climate change affecting the planet, Kian-Wee left Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Fab7 300mm Operations, in January 2008 after tendering his resignation upon returning to Singapore from EVS23. This also marked the permanent hold for Kian-Wee’s pursuit for his 2nd Master in Financial Management.

In January 2008, the Founders decided on not receiving any salary/income until the Board of Directors formation. The Board when formed will decide and authorize the remuneration and compensation packages for the Founders and Executive Staffs.

Between February – April 2008, leveraging on knowledge of Warren Buffet’s business approach “People, Business and Price”, marketing and funding strategic propositions were prepared. 1AmpleWorld’s purpose, vision, mission, core values and leadership characteristics were defined. Meetings with investors and financiers, industry and green technology partners, and the legislative community commenced in February 2008. Between February and April 2008, Kian-Wee and Ted covered Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Detroit, Davis, the San Francisco Bay Area, and greater Los Angeles.

On April 7th 2008, 2 grant (Innovative Development Scheme and Total Research Incentive) applications were submitted to the Singapore Economic Development Board.

On Earth Day, 22nd April 2008, 1AmpleWorld was incorporated in both Singapore and the State of Delaware, US. This marked the beginning of 1AmpleWorld with dual headquarters in Singapore and US. This created a company of green continuity, sustainability, and technology.

The incorporation of 1AmpleWorld company was inspired by a collective of many individuals. Among them, Yanti Tianadi Lim, Kian-Wee & Ted’s parents and parents in law, Stan & Iris Ovshinsky, Chelsea & Bob Sexton, Tipper & Albert Gore, Pastor Joseph & Wendy Prince, Pastor Rick & Kay Warren, T.Harv Eker, Leonardo Dicaprio, Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, Bill & Melinda Gates, Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, Sir Richard Branson, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Francis Yeo, Boon Hwee Koh, Ka-Shing Li, Chris Paine, Andy & Wendy Frank, Tom Gage, Alan Cocconi, Charlotte & Greg “Gadget” Abbott, Russ Wicks, Christopher Gee, Rex & Shirin Emami, David Lane, Alexandra Paul, Sherry Boschert, Marc Geller, Earl Cox, Stefano Paris, Yun Lung & Kay Chai “KC” Ang, Zadig & Bonnie Lam, Frank & Doris Lazo, Jenny & Vincent Lim, Michael Yip, and many more. Most importantly, the Grace of God.

Also, during this time Kian-Wee and Ted were introduced to Christopher and Cayenne Greenwell. Through Christopher and Cayenne Greenwell’s gusto and passion and the collective spirits of the all angel couples and inspiration, the Angel of Blessings emerged.
