[qwerty72766]

good

[bigstiggerNo1]

I can understand using Nissan for technology. But Renault, I don't know. I bet it will be difficult to repair.

[coolzero64]

yes! but how can this be introduced here in the Philippines? Better Place, may we have an option?

[Inazui]

The world need this and Israel is a good start

[Radraph]

NISSAN! WOOO!

[rtsoccerplayer]

wow this is really great.

i hope the same doesn't happen as what happened to the ev1

[mykallb]

Project better place could only work in a country as small as Israel.  There will be no competition, no innovation, and no choice.

To think this would work in the US or other large countries is naive.

Israel and Nissan are now leading the race that most governments and car makers don't even realize it exists...

[carlocardillo]

ireland signed a deal this week with nissan and renault to supply ireland with electric cars in the next 3yrs.

[BaaEnsaaf]

it's about time.

[robotnik77]

Yes, he did say 2011, but recent articles have been mentioning advancing that date to 2009.

I hope that's true !!

[ninjayang]

Now THIS is leadership! Way to go Israel/Nissan!!  I remember when America used to take pride in being the leader...

[sierracuban]

Yeah, the U.S.A. IS the world leader except when it comes to leaving petroleum dependency....It is the IMPERFECTION of our capitalist system to BE LAST when it comes to hurting the car companies OR the oil companies.....Those are CAPITAL sins.....

Oil companies have gotten away with MURDER, and so have car companies, but their days are numbered.....Pay back IS a bitch......We will see new sources of fuel VERY soon.......

[firehose398]

yea, they're almost 10 years too late on this deal. 2008 - should already  have the whole thing up and

running by now.....

[Redshift21]

Israel makes sense as the first place to try this out on a mass market, the Arabs have most of the oil and they don't much like Israel, it's also a smart move as peak oil is becoming an issue

[dual85]

Thank you Nissan!!! Never would have thought it would be Nissan.

[sierracuban]

Hooray for DATSUN ! ! ! It was the very first

new pick up we bought in 1973......Now they will pioneer electric cars.....

[JohnDeBunkTest]

Wow .. a real electric car and infrastructure ..

It's much needed in all countries, so it is nice to see Israel lead in this project.

But why wait three years till 2011? The technology exists now and production can begin anytime.
