Dear Mr. Webb:

EV Innovations, Inc. (the "Company") has received a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) under date of February 24, 2009.  As requested in such letter, the Company herewith provides the responses to the questions raised by staff.  For convenience, each comment is repeated below, followed by the Company's responses to each separate issue raised in the comment.

In connection with our responses to the Commission’s comments, we have filed an amendment to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 (the “Amended 2008 Form 10-K”).

Audit Period. The auditor’s report in the Amended 2008 10-K reflects the audit of the current year only.  Other auditors have audited from inception to July 31, 2007 and a copy of the previous auditors report is included in the filing.

3.  
PCAOB Standards. The auditor’s report in the Amended 2008 10-K has been revised to specifically indicate their audit was conducted in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

4.  
Development Stage Company. The auditors report has been revised to refer to the Company as “a development stage company”.

Disposition of SPI as Discontinued Operation. The Company is not materially involved with the operations of Superlattice Power, Inc., and the operations of Superlattice have been eliminated from the operations of the Company. The Company will have no further involvement with Superlattice, except that the latter does rent office and lab space from the Company. The Company is now a development stage technology company that is focusing its resources and efforts on the development and marketing of lithium-powered vehicles and products, as well as on commercial and residential properties. The Company has purchased the lithium batteries we use from Kokam a Korean manufacturing firm, but could possibly become a customer of Superlattice in the future if Superlattice commences commercial production of lithium ion batteries.
