Better Place- Electric Car

We had the opportunity to visit Better Place in Tel Aviv, Israel. In this age of rising fuel cost Israel has been a leader in developing electric cars which use lithium batteries. One of the keys to making electric cars a viable option is the infrastructure that Better Place is developing in Israel and around the globe. Through charging stations individuals will be able to ride around the country with ease and go to local charging stations conveniently in each city. Most recently Better Place, with support from the U.S. Department of Transportation via the Metropolitan Transportation Commission announced a commitment to bring a switchable battery, electric taxi program to the Bay Area in partnership with the cities of San Francisco and San Jose to further cement the region's position as the "EV Capital of the U.S." As we try to find new solutions to decrease our dependency on oil. Better Place is making the first steps to make this a reality. As you drive the car it is extremely smooth and enjoyable. The electric car has great pickup and is very quite. All around it is a wonderful ride and runs on clean energy.
