Start your (electric) engines: Better Place begins trial run in Israel

Israel will be the first country to install a cutting-edge electric car network, with electric cars running on the road and dozens of recharge stations installed by 2011. It will begin its first trial run this year in Israel, the home country of its founder and CEO Shai Agassi. By Sara Sorcher

The world will be a better place once the petrol economy is killed off.

This is so unbelievably cool! I imagine Arab faces when they run out of oil and have nothing but the sand while Israel's energy resources will thrive.

[TOPRAKALPAY]

@guurfa

To be honest .. Me neither... I can't imagine electric cars be as fast as petrol or diesel cars :(

If the car runs100 miles.. i guess the battery change price would be about ''100dollars'' ? if so then i'll stick to the petrol engine :D

But it's a cool idea:D i think petrol cars are gonna be rare and expansive if it success :D

@Jewishfan Unfortunately, the oil sheiks aren't stupid. They know they are selling a finite resource. They are well diversified in a number of other commercial endeavors. Even if oil ran out tomorrow, their revenues wouldn't.

[guurfa]

i don't like these electrics.....

[ziggybeats]

I want one now, This will be my next car if it hits the US...... count on that!  Go Israel!
