  • Very cool

    To see more innovative videos like this or want to share your own ideas visit ThinkStageDOTcom

  • They already offer the Car with "membership" plans. The savings are not really great and the car is not cheap. For $40,000 you can buy the car and drive as much as you want for 3 years or pay monthly 1000-1500 NIS which is around $250-$300 depends on the millage plan you select.

  • Not Jewish ,not Israeli but i'm in love with Israel . Keep experimenting good people .

  • this isn't how we will travel in the future. In the future we will travel in great big glittering bounceing balls...

  • while its all correct, reducing emissions and such, an electric car will never ever beat the fun of driving a gasoline based car.

    it will miss:

    the sound!

    the shifting!

    and of course...the smell.

    as much as i support the idea that the world gets better, id really REALLY miss the cars.

    theyre so much fun to drive.

  • @Boosted1981 but eletric engine go to 0 at 60mph mutch more faster and with some more research can averages speeds than the limited explosive engines

  • Hello

    I live in Israel, and just today I was on a tour from school to better place!

    I have to say, this is amazing absolutely charming!

    We are the first country to create this!!!

    Shay Agassi is the brightest man to develop it.

    Also, Ashton kutcher himself was here and saw the car

    I have also was inside the electric car, so silenced and fast pleasure to be in it.

    I also saw the battery exchange process and it took only a minute and fifteen seconds not three minutes!!!

    Go Israel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i can understand the jews they are surrounded by sandniggers, its a very smart move to make them less depending on arabs.

  • I can't understand this electric technology.THIS is not an ecology because for the electrical current are burned tones of solid petrol so is not ecological.

  • I thought we would never see elecric cars on the road too. So I converted my own with my son in our garage. John Allen's EV Conversion. You can look at it on the blog. My EV will do 30 miles on a charge and does 80 mph. I do 55 miles on most days and have managed to do 77 miles once. I charge between uses and love the way it performs. I show everyone and talk about it a lot so that when the Electric Cars start to come off the assembly line people will not be frightened to commit. Enjoy

  • This video is wrong. Any video "claiming" the first commercially available electronic vehicle has clearly forgotten about the EV1 by GMC(specifically the Saturn line). Although the company did remove them from the roads and destroy them, they were still the first. If you require clarification, go to Google, Yahoo search, or even youtube and type in EV1. I guarantee results. If you think I am wrong please feel free to message me on my youtube account and state why.

  • @Matty0913 yeah the ev1 was the first one (who killed the electric car) but people could only rent the car, not buy it. for the designated period gm chose

  • Now this one I like, This genius.

  • So this is where my tax dollars are going? I want an electric car but I can't have one. I can fund Israel and their government can take my money and test out the equipment. We already tested electric cars in the 90's and it worked great. Ugh

  • @DavesMx6

    Did you hear why it can work in israel and not in the US? Because it tiny, and most people don't commute that much.

    Plus our aid money goes to buy weapon- manufactured in the USA therefore going back to the USA, and help keeping our American jobs. 

  • bless israel! well, that's their way to fight islamofascists by not providing them anymore with money - one oil-customer less, one independent country more!

  • Its nice its good but compressed air cars take 3 min to fill off of a large tank.

    Compressed air cars can run on steam and liquid nitrogen @ $2 per gallon.

    They are cheaper to build too and there are no old batteries to dispose of.

    And no there is no spontaneous combustion of the battery packs.

  • @maco10810 Can't answer to the cheaper to build part, but the batteries are 99% recyclable, and they have figured out how to keep LiPo bats from starting on fire now. Current technology can go 100 miles on a charge that costs about $2.00 and I personally drive only about 30 miles a day

  • @maco10810

    By 2020, you'll be able to buy it for 50 cents a gallon, and the battery can be switched in one minute and 15 seconds.

    Oh, and the battery is 99% recyclable.

  • Fueling up costs more than owning the car!

    We can utilize the energy of electricity to what is needed in normal daily driving. That is because we do not need 15,000 ft lbs of torque.

  • How come Israel is so full of Inventions and Hi Tech, produces so much Technology and drive these electric top-notch vehicles while their neighbour Countries produce martyrs, hate and still ride a donkey to work ?

  • @YP3CA Maybe the 30 billion dollers the USA gives Israel every year in subsidies help a bit , i dunno.

    Perhaps if some Palestinian people were allowed access to education without being harrassed by checkpoints all the time they would be able to realise their potential.

  • @hablerz Israel must be denying education to all the peace-seeking muslims from Syria, Lebanon, Iran and others... oh wait! they actually ARE free from the Israeli checkpoint harrasement and they HAVE access to education... so why are they still full of hate and strap their kids to Dynamite in hope to become martyrs ? I dunno...

  • @YP3CA Iran is noted for its scholars , they have a great culture that goes back millenia. However, if your not friends with the USA in this world it can be difficult to progress.

    Please dont tell me a Palestinian child has the same chance in life as an Israeli one , some of them dont even have the basics. They live in what are esentially ghetto's.

  • @hablerz I agree with you. a Palestinian child does not have the same chance in life like an Israeli child. part because when you are 1 of 13 or 14 kids to a single Mother (the Father blew himself up on an Israeli bus) you just don't stand a chance. the kids will live on the streets, will be recruitrf by the "army" and trained to be a soldier against the "occupation", those kids will later marry a woman, have about 13 kids of themselves added to the Ghetto they created & the cycle will continue

  • @hablerz

    Iran still stone women, and does not allow free speech to name just two. They had a great culture, and might still have a chance if they get rid of their mullahs. Read escaping Islam by and educate yourself.

    The palestinian has their own government, that give or not give them opportunities.- It's their choice. Gaza has been free of Jews- and what they do with that freedom- execute people in the street for speaking against Hamas.

    Nothing is missing there- accept freedom of speech.

  • @YP3CA Also i think you will find that many of the great inventions and discoverys in history came from Iraq and Iran. The libraries were destroyed in the 13th century by the Mongols, which basically set them back hundreds of years.

  • @hablerz

    and they continue going back in time and are still behaving like savages.

    Watch the Stoning of Sorya M. This is Iran of today.

  • @hablerz

    again you are ignoring the simple facts. The Arab Palestinians lived since 1948 - 1967 under Jordan and Egypt with NO education, NO universities, No electricity, no health care etc. No Jordanian or Egyptian allowed them ANY rights. Then come Israel "the big bad wolf", and gave them all of that.

    Get your facts straight.

    The check points are in response to terror, and every time they go down - the reaction is more terror against Jews.

  • @hablerz 30 billion? No, more like 3 billion.

  • @Traviskolber OK 3 billion officially. Still , thats a lot for a small population such as Israel. Plus they often get military hardware at knockdown prices from the US.

  • @hablerz

    Uh, no, it isn't. Israel's budget is over 60 billion, and this is under pressure from other countries (as well as frequent boycotting and sanctions), as well as a lack of land. Oh, and if anything, the US owes us money. We have sold so many technological inventions and created so many high tech companies, you should be paying us more to say thank you.

  • @Traviskolber If your so superior why are you receiving aid? thats the part i don't understand. As far as i know , i don't use anything totally developed in Israel on a recurring basis.

  • @hablerz It is called politics. America likes to suck up to Israel, because they are currently the only country on really good terms in the Middle East. Oh, and because of the mentioned high tech companies and technological breakthroughs.

  • @hablerz

    When you are using your computer it has an intel chip developed and created in Israel, if you use windows XP it was also developed in Israel and if you use your cellphone instead, guess where it was developed...

    Israel does not needs any aid. The money Israel receives every year from the US it can triple if it sells its technology to countries like China or Russia. Lets say the US is happy to pay the money to Israel plus Israel just found 150 billion worth of Natural Gas...

  • @isralien23 Ok, so Israel invented the Silicon chip , the cellphone and the operating system on most computers according to you. I'm sure i read somewhere that the natural gas was found off the Gaza coast so isn't it therefore the property of the Palestinians ?

  • @hablerz

    When they will spend billions on research and technology, instead of methods to mass murder civillians and will find something they will be able to say it theirs.

    Israels GDP is almost 300 Billion a year the 3 billion it reacives in "forigen aid" is not critical to its survival. Israel has technologies and wepons that it can sell to countries like China or Russia and make tens of billions from, yet Israel remains a US allie and agrees to recive just 3 billion a year instead.

  • @YP3CA

    That's because Jews don't have a victimhood mentality. Can you imagine what other inventions would have come out of Israel if it didn't have to guard itself from these hateful neighbors?

  • @only2truth And if they had been placed in a region with more land.

  • The speaker at 1:15 looks like Mr. Bean

  • promises promises

  • Israel is a very hi-tech country; maybe if there are enough of these cars on the road, it will provide the impetus for a more practical and longer-ranger battery.

  • And after this , some peace in the middle-East.

  • This can definitely work for small countries. It could work here in the U.S. in cities as well, but without battery exchange infrastructure, it will be difficult to make this work in rural and suburban commuting scenarios. Love to see it come to fruition, though.

  • @nephil1977 well technically, installing a battery exchange infrastructure in rural and suburban areas should be just as easy as petrol stations.

  • always can be the second car in the family: the one you drive to do shopping etc.

  • So this video is a little over 2 years old. How many of these cars are on the road today?

  • Commercial sales of electric cars are set for 2012. Better Place plans to start building charging stations this year.

  • you mean 2011

  • it said 2011 on the news

  • none, but by 2011 they will be on the road all over israel and by 2012 they will be all over the world!

  • @Puppyjump Seems like the launch is really getting started there.

  • @Puppyjump Sales launch 2012.

  • What do you thing is?

  • A highway system that utilizes solar and wind energy that powers electric cars as they travel along the system. Search YouTube with keywords "Interstate Highway Inductive 2.0" and you'll get a better idea of what I mean. This system allows for less batteries per car and eliminates the need for "plugging in."

  • Interesting idea, however it would be very inefficient. Magnetism will travel through air, but it likes traveling through ferous items alot better.

    The amount of magnetism youre going to need to induce an EMF into a car is going to be a massive amount. People allready complain about magnetic emission from powerlines now, i cant see them embracing the idea of having them in the roads which is alot closer to the people that think it will effect them.

  • Actually, "Inductive Power Transfer" through "Inductive Coupling" is very efficient and getting more efficient as the technology becomes more popular. The amount of "magnetic emission" is less than a common household microwave oven. The car still has the standard configuration and operational properties of an average electric car, just fewer batteries and doesn't require "plug in" Search keyword "Inductive Power Transfer" and see this system already working to some extent in many places...

  • In order to create enough power to feed the motor and propel the car at any sort of speed, it will take LOTS of power. You never get any power for nothing, theres always losses, so you dont even get back what you put in.

    In short, what needs to happen for this to work is electricity to magnetism, then magentism back to electricity.

    Again, im not saying it cant work, induction is a great thing, but i find it very hard to believe it will work on a car going down a road.

  • Im interested in buying one, so email me on here and tell me more.

  • We are not focused on manufacturing cars... There are plenty of companies that will be manufacturing electric cars. Our focus is on the mass manufacturing of our capacitance primary side charge system for large scale installations (such as US Interstate Highway System) and our secondary side retrofit kit for any and all manufacturers of electric cars.

  • Sorry! Ran out of space!

    Im not saying what youre saying here is never going to work, but im saying it is very unlikely.

    If you do abit of research on transfering power via induction, youll see that its not going to be very effective at the sort of range you get between the underside of a car & the road it travels on.

    For that to work, itll take a huge amount of current, & require a massive amount of copper windings inside the bottom of the car to convert the magnetism to electricity.

  • Comment removed

  • My Lord, the amazing amount of anti-capitalist, anti-freedom comments here from people who really have no idea where their freedom and prosperity come from. There's gratitude for ya...

    Everything has a price; there's nothing that's free. If it is, it makes no one a living, so they won't deal with it. Just because some immature attitudes think they shouldn't have to pay their own bills, we should trash everything and go with...a Renault?! Yeah, right.

  • Of course America wont start using these until about 200 years have passed cause America really refuses to adapt since it involves work.

  • Plans are currently on the way to bring them to San Francisco in the next few years and to have 1 million electric cars on the road by 2015.

  • @TheoreticChaos There are also plans to bring Better Place to Hawaii. Then it will gradually filter into other American cities, and then suburbs, and then interstate highways and smaller towns. If the business model of selling an EV car that is less expensive to buy, cheaper to own, and more convenient to operate than petrol cars comes to fruition, then we will witness the transformation of personal transport and all associated businesses to the aggregate of 10 trillion dollars worldwide.

  • He never said that he was taking credit for creating the electric car... umm but he is one person who actually took to initiative to actually make a difference an help implement it in a large scale so that eventually we all can use electric cars..

  • It's all well & good to give all the credit to this guy from Israel. I like Colbert for commenting that he "dressed for the ocassion" (he was wearing a tee shirt)

    I'm sure that one of the big Detroit Automakers came up with an electric car in the past. No!

  • GO ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wise idea.

  • RECPECT!!!!!! =) FOR ISRAEL

  • very interesting article. being a 3d cad specialist myself, i really like hearing about electric cars.

  • No wonder G-d loves these people so much -- they're AWESOME! :o)

  • God - loves them!, what, I don't understand! - i am a silly 25 year old generation Y who has been waiting to buy an electric car since high school - at the moment - Shai Agassi is one of my many Gods!

  • My husband built an electric car engine in our garage over 20 years ago. The whole idea has been squelched by the old industry. Plain and simple. Israel is just smart enough, rich enough, and powerful enough to tell the oil industry to take a hide and THAT'S what has never been done before.

  • ..smart, rich, powerful AND gutsy! That's what I love about them -- their courage and independence! They don't let ANYONE intimidate them. Just like little David facing the giant, telling him how he is fixing to feed his cadaver to the wild beasts and that before the day is out the world will know there IS a GOD in Israel!

  • @carolineislands They have a relative called uncle sam who helps them out quite a bit.

  • Keep up the good work, because someone have to show the world, that it can be a different one. God bless us all!

  • Electric cars are a solution for nothing. They will create more problems then they solve.

    The solution is to construct urban societies where private cars are burdensome to own.

  • must give 5 stars and respect to israel!

  • Great job Israel at least your trying!

  • What happens to planes if gasoline based transportation were eliminated? Would electricity be enough to support planes that travel thousands of miles around the globe? Has this been thought out? I'm curious.

  • Awesome question.

    Petroleum has very high energy density (kWh/kg) and enables a lot of energy to be carried for a given mass. Batteries are far less dense as energy stores, which makes me think that they won't soon power anything that looks like a normal passenger plane, for a good while yet.

    Zeppelins are efficient, and make do with less power. You could print the envelope with thin film PV cells...but I don't think it would be very fast. Ship, not jet speeds.

    "the love Blimp", anyone?

  • Planes don't run on gasoline.

    And, if there are fewer cars & trucks using petroleum based fuels, there will be more oil available to be made into jet fuel, and the price of flying will decrease. There may not be many other options for planes, but there are other options for cars & trucks.

  • when are goning to see the eltric car i am already 30 year old and have bee willing ro get an ev since i was 20 but i think now it is nor going to happen due to the greed for oil

  • We should start to see more electric cars on the road in the next few years. The infrastructure for the cars, such as charging stations, is currently being laid out and and an increasing amount of states and countries are signing on.

  • There are actually a lot of used EVs out there, I bought one a couple of years ago. If you start looking for them, you can find one. Also, it is not really that expensive to convert a regular manual transmission car to electric, it's much cheaper than buying a readymade EV from a major automaker when/if they become available. Of course the style/performance may not be as impressive, but it's better than wasting your life waiting for them to keep promises...

  • Bravo. Its about time.

  • i have an idea. it involves you and a noose.

  • Here's another interesting fact: global warming. Heard of it?

  • Yes, like Israel is not trying enough to get along with it's neighbors. What do you call getting rockets fired at your citizens without obliterating the enemy to smithereens (like you know they can)??

    Do you need a reminder that there are 22 Arab states and only one tiny Israel the size of New Jersey??

  • @wwwrrrcom It likes its neighbours so much it builds houses on their land.

  • @hablerz

    Israel has been performing live saving operations on Arab Muslim children for ALL Arabs states, even those who hey don't have any diplomatic relationship. I would call this loving your neighbors wouldn't you.

    The land belong to the Jews, read the Mandate for Palestine. Israel was suppose to include what is today's Jordan, which was given to the Arabs already.

  • @only2truth I dont like the way you are Ghettoising the Palestinians , its morally repugnant. I dont care about mandates and lawyers, i only care about violations of human rights.

    Other nations in the past have written laws to persucute and marginalise minorities and i dont like that either.

    Secondly , Israell would collapse without support from the USA so its gets old listening to how clever you guys are.

  • @hablerz

    Again you seem to have some difficulties with facts.

    Israel is surrounded by enemies. Even the Arab countries that signed a peace agreement, don’t allow their citizen to go into Israel. So you could say that Israel is a ghetto. And no, they don't cry, they clean up the mess pick up their dead, don’t parade them on TV to squeeze tears, and they rebuild and go on inventing, and developing.

    Secondly, Israeli Arabs have more rights than in their Arab countries.

  • Mexico City needs cars like these if they want to reduce smog.

  • about freaking time. Dont forget to export to australia!

  • Actually Australia is one of the first countries they tested in. They also tested in Hawaii because they believe it is easier to control everything in a more small an secluded place.

  • another step will be free energy engine, in our cars, homes, factories...

    SUPER

  • My goodnes, I hope that free energy thing was a joke and was meant ironically. Maybe my ironic sensors are broken. In case not: THERE IS NO FUCKING(!!!) FREE ENERGY, get that in your mind. You can just transform a form of energy into another. There is no energy loss and especially no energy out of nothing. Even if you put a solar panel on your cars roof the energy is not comming from nowhere but from a big hot fireball shining on it thus getting the energy to drive your car or something else.

  • @timresel If energy was "free" someone would still charge you for it.

  • Great idea!

  • Well i like some of this produkt in my Country. Tesla motors, or Renault-Nissan Electric. This could change the world, really.

    Only a dream maybe, but i´m still dreaming in one World with free energy, and freedom.

  • im waiting. I live Northern California & have nothing. we will have to wait. the president can make a lot of new & really good things happen. Ford GMC could turn there sales around. hay it there lay offs. why should government bale there butt out. they have nothing I want from them.

  • a massive mass production of those cars and bye bye oil companies. Maybe for ever.

  • Nice try, but unfortunately lithium has limitations because of heat displacement , the Israeli version uses a potassium based battery system - negligible heat displacement. Take your crap somewhere else.

  • Yeah build your own electric car then ;).

  • I was wondering why the USA was putting pressure on Israel and enbargos and what not, not I fully understand.

    Shame that its a Renault, never liked those cars, tried one out years later (benefit of doubt) as still lots of things went wrong with it. I do find their new advert funny, its like a full admission that they produced rubbish cars! Goo renault with the honesty. Now give me my money back LOL

  • The USA has never put any kind of embargo on Israel.

    Where did you get that idea?

    Israel is one of our best friends.

  • Israel once again has a great idea, and like usual all the cool cars are available anywhere but the US. I would love to have a Renault like that.

  • Um, are you joking! there is more EV's and companies building and converting in the US, you can buy them 'off the shelf' already!

  • There is political purpose for Isreel to encourage E-car, as it is surronded by hostile oil-rich Arabic countries.

    If they keep depending on pertrol-driven cars, they are just having anohter gun pointing at their own head.

  • @texxwilson1 Electric cars have been around for years , Israel did not invent them.

  • @hablerz

    Israel invented many many things including drip irrigation which is used in the entire world and save water.

    The video did not say Israel invented it, it said that Israel will be the first country to mass produce it.

    I know that when you hate Israel your gut reaction is to blame first ask question later. Please over come it.

  • @hablerz

    Israel invented many many things including drip irrigation which is used in the entire world and save water.- save lives too.

    The video did not say Israel invented it, it said that Israel will be the first country to mass produce it.

    I know that when someone hates Israel his gut reaction is to blame first ask question later- but you should always check the facts.

  • It's very popular those days electrical appliances on rechargeable batteries, many small scooters chasing around in Tel-Aviv, but did people enough for that to recycle those batteries? Many of them contains dangerous metals like lithium zinc, etc dangerous components. So what is my question, it will not make more harm to the nature in advance than an ordinary gasoline?

    Anatoli Axelrod.

  • Lead acid: 95%+ worldwide is recycled, because the lead is worth money. Lithium will be the same, nickel too. Worth cash=recycled. If we have a lot of EVs being made, these metals are going to increase in value, too.

  • and again israel making history.

  • EV IS THE FUTURE !

  • Renault is pronounced "Ra-no", not "Renoll".

  • yeah but you also have to think about how the electricity produce around the world. 80% of the wolrd electricity is made with oil or nuclear power even worst with coal so we also have to change the manner we creat our electricity.

  • we need these cars in the u.s.a. so Bush won't have to hold hands with the Arabs and try to schmooze with them

  • GOD BLESS THIS INNOVATIVE LITTLE NATION!

    This is blazing the way towards the future and now it is the beginning of the end for the Arabs- holding the world hostage for their oil.

    Thank GOD for ISRAEL.

  • It' even better. According to the Wired article Better Place will pay a premium to buy its electricity from wind, solar, and other sustainable sources.

  • very good project for civilized world!

    soon we will see the end of arab oil imperializm and hostage taking the rest of the world!

  • Alternativas Sustentaveis; Energia: Eolica Horizontal TNHE. Hidraulica Flutuante TNVFAC. Inclusive para abastecer: Carros Eletricos e Movidos a Ar Comprimido TN. Qualidade do Ar DN para evitar Aquecimento Global. Procura Parcerias ou Patrocinadores.

  • The arabs can eat their own oil and sand.

  • You know you are being taken for a ride when they're selling you something you don't need. Electric vehicles don't need a new infrastructure because electricity is already available everywhere in an industrialized country like Israel. What's even more ironic is that both Israel and Hawaii, their best test cases are full of solar. Do you see solar cells on these vehicles? No, because they want to sell you a proprietary high cost grid.

  • Um, a solar panel that fits on a car generates enough power to light one or two lightbulbs.

  • The solar panels don't go on the car, they go on your house.

    The car is recharged in the garage, fed by the panels on the roof of the house. I know people who are doing this right now.

  • Mass public in Spain is ready to buy electric cars but do you think spanish (or any other country) goverment is going to accept the idea of loosing millions of euros in taxes on the petrol?(60% of the petrol and diesel final price goes to taxes)

  • England is also pursuing a similar project.

  • @gandy74 England is pursuing renewables very very slowly , i mean we have huge wind reserves , you could build our entire energy supply offshore in a 10 year timeframe.

  • from my understanding both denmark and portugal are signing up to progam too

  • The last comments on this video about the environment and our children´s future is just bullshit. This is about geopolitics.

  • haha ... no one gives a fuck about your pathetic opinion go and read chomsky and jack off on pictures of nasrallah you fucking panzy

  • Take your bombastic vitriol elsewhere... some of us would rather not fight on YouTube!

  • Ummm....anyone else think this guy could spend his time better? Seriously, if people like this guy got a job they'd be too busy and tired to be racist. (I'm assuming he is male because most women aren't this stupid). For the record, I'm a medical student.

  • Dear zionist rat Blake i am actually handling customers as well as spreading the truth about the Berlin Wall South African Apartheid Segregation Jews ONLY Talmudic Supremacist state of israhell that is an unnatural foreign sponsored growth that is nuclear and deadly to the entire region. The Nazis may be gone but the ashkeNAZIs are alive and well today! When will you "schmucks" stop measuring everything in units of Hitler?? At least Hitler didn't keep it up 60 years...

  • Hey ZionistWorldOrder,

    so u "handling customers" ?

    Then u a Prostitute, why didn't u say so in the first place?

    No wonder u r mad.... Ha Ha Ha........

  • "if i could just convince a few million people to coordinate a one day push into the borders of israhell i'd sure try to join em! ;D"

    1) Like you Arabs/Muslims haven't tried that before & failed as you do @ everything

    2)I'll gladly be waiting @ the border to cap your ass

    Peace

  • electric cars are the future.

    and soon we wont have to buy oil from the arabs in such high prices.

  • Lets bring this to Hawaii! Israel, coming up with great solutions that will cause the arabs to eat sand!

  • This model would work for me.

    Just one thing... I hope they make sure the system is "open source" so other companies can get in on the deal and market electric cars and batteries too. (The batamax failed because Sony kept it to themselves, and Apple cannot get more than 10% of the market because they are a one source supplier.

  • You charge your car at night in your home (hope it will be possible) or a public station and can drive anywhere you want the next day without paying gas or pullting the air? Fuck yea!

    I also like the design of the car it is not bad,it will look nice in red and 22 inch rims.I am also sure once these cars will sell like hot cup cakes (at $6.50 per gallon in Israel they will)more designs, more technology more speed, more companies will come out!

    Just like the Cell phone Israel makes it again!

  • This makes a lot of sense. I live in USA - San Francisco and drive short distances. I would purchase one today if I could. Sincerely, JAMES.

  • For my Fellow Americans who couldn't find the conversion chart on Google; 200 KM = 124.2 Miles. I only drive 20-40 miles a day. I could live with this car and it's fairly good looking. I could kick the petro-habit except for my tricked-out lawnmower of course.

  • I want to see one tricked out with Rims and a Paintjob.

  • bravo.

    becuse this project is being tested in a small country, the positive results should used as a platform for project in larger countries.

    i prey that this test will be sucessful.

    good luck and godspeed!!

  • No advancement in US because driving electric cars would be too "cheap" for the economy...meaning not much profit to be made by the big corp.
