| Project Better Place Plans Massive Electric Car Rollout in 2011 Posted: 20 Aug 2009 01:43 PM PDT
Project Better Place, the brainchild of entrepreneur and CEO Shai Agassi, in partnership with French automaker Renault, is an increasingly popular electric car service model that looks to the “service station” concept for electric cars. By developing an infrastructure of “swap stations,” drivers can swap discharged batteries in their electric cars in little more than five minutes, and be on their way. Pilot projects are already underway across the globe, including Denmark, Israel, Japan, Hawaii, California, and Australia. Renault and Better Place announced this week plans sell up to 160,000 electric cars annually throughout Denmark and Israel starting in 2011. |

If you’ve spoken to this bunch, you already that most talk of climate change and Peak Oil concerns fall on deaf ears. What matters is power, everything else is irrelevant. Of course, it’s easier to simply ignore this group, but the (sad?) truth of the matter is that many consumer still make their purchasing decisions based on what their “car friends” tell them. In short: this group, more than any other, is a group that must be reached for the “green car” movement to really take hold. Enter: Dyno-Comp. |
