May 28, 2008 – Las Vegas, NV – Power Efficiency Corporation (OTCBB:PEFF.OB), a green energy company focused on efficiency technologies for electric motors, announced today that it has engaged Gephardt Group, LLC, headed by the Hon. Richard Gephardt, former congressman and majority leader of the United States House of Representatives, as its business adviser.

“I am very pleased to be advising the management team and the board of Power Efficiency Corporation,” stated Richard Gephardt. “During my years of public service, I strongly encouraged additional focus on climate change and feel that today there are few issues as important and critical to our future. Furthermore, I believe that improved energy efficiency is one of the important strategies for reducing carbon emissions. For users of electric motors, Power Efficiency’s E-Save Technology™ is an excellent solution that reduces both energy usage and ultimately carbon emissions.”

“As Power Efficiency’s business continues to grow, the addition of Gephardt Group to our team is very timely,” said Steven Strasser, Power Efficiency Corporation’s Chairman and CEO. “We are seeing significant interest in our motor efficiency controller using our proprietary E-Save Technology™ in the USA as well as internationally. Gephardt Group will assist in developing new channels for the company’s products with the large OEMs in the industrial, commercial and particularly the home appliance markets.”

“Power Efficiency’s products have now qualified for incentive financing with seven electric utilities, with more pending approvals. We feel that it is appropriate to start a dialog with state and federal officials with a view of promoting energy efficiency through the E-Save Technology™. Richard Gephardt’s experience and expertise is unparalleled in this arena. We are privileged to have the Hon. Richard Gephardt and his team working with us.”
