Officer
I, Timothy Hassett, certify that:
| 1. | I have reviewed this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q/A of HPEV, Inc.; |
| 2. | Based
on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
report; |

included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant
as of, and for, the periods presented in this report; |
| 4. | The registrant’s
other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and
maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exhibit
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f))
for the registrant and have: |
| (a) | Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including
its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within
those entities, particularly during the period in which this report
is being prepared; |
| (b) | Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
internal control over financial reporting to be designed under
our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles; |
| (c) | Evaluated
the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls
and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
and |
| (d) | Disclosed
in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s
most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal
quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting; and |
| 5. | The registrant’s
other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most
recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s
board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions): |
| (a) | All
significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses
in the design or operation
of internal control over
financial reporting which
are reasonably likely
to adversely affect the
registrant’s ability
to record, process, summarize
and report financial information;
and |
| (b) | Any
fraud, whether or not
material, that involves
management or other employees
who have a significant
role in the registrant’s
internal control over
financial reporting. |
