  • Project better place solves every problem perfectly. You don't even buy a battery, and presumably the batteries can be upgraded as the technology improves.

  • Wind, solar and tidal power also needs to be stepped up as well.

  • we are whitness to some exiting times! i cant waight for this to kick off. u subcribe to a company, they give you the device, just like a phone..wwoohhooo

  • This is a very encouraging program. Unfortunately Detroit is apparently (once again) asleep at the wheel. Thier continued reliance on oil will, I predict, will be thier downfall. Of course it doesn't take a genius to see that. Luckily the state I live in(California) is both beginning to sign on with Mr Agassis project as well as building the Worlds largest solar collection array.

  • Exactly! It's great to see that some nations are taking tangible steps to make this type of energy model a reality.

  • In Denmark a big project is on the way. There, the objective is to solve the problem of excess wind energy production during the night. It's at night the windmills produce most power, but it's also the time when we use the least power, so this clean energy is instead exported very cheap to germany and sweden. With electric cars and battery replacement stations, charging of batteries can be timed to take place during night hours mostly, and thereby utilizing the wind energy for charging cars!

  • Actually, EVs would ideally be charged via off-beak power when the utilities are wasting unwanted energy. Developed nations don't really need to increase energy production. In fact, EVs can enhance a nation's energy infrastructure by charging off peak and then feeding energy back into the grid during peak hours. If enough EVs are in use, utilities could find that they actually need fewer power generation facilities. Either way, the energy demand of an EV infrastructure is quite small overall.

  • Amazing !

  • OK, but it probably wouldn't be the first time we'd look like that so we might as well get some juice out of the deal to charge all these hybrids!

  • but thats a problem because if a nuclear power plant is built than we would look like hipicrits
