skeptics will be eating their words come another 5 years when israel is running oil free.

Haha. When I first started looking into electric cars a few months ago, and thinking about their limitations, I thought to myself "Why not just have a battery exchange system at the service stations. Just common sense really.

Now I hear you are waiting until 2014. Are you waiting for the Chinese to recall their United States Treasury Bonds and take over the government? Or that is when the tea party will no longer be in power. ZAP still has no charging stations and is plugging in to 110 AC for eight hour charge. While the Chinese section of ZAP Jonway is installing fast charging stations in Japan-China-Vietnam-Malaysia.

I sent contact information. There are two projects ready to go now. Is "BETTER PLACE" ready to start this. Yes, I did talk toMs.Faizea. and I had to resend the E-MAIL. Let us get this going? I also have a fast charging station needed to put in at SOBOBA SPRINGS by 17 SEPTEMBER 2011 (NATION WIDE TOUR). Let us get this going despite the TEA PARTY TRUMPETS. YES WE CAN, I KNOW WE CAN. SO LET'S DO IT NOW!

@Traviskolber I'm sure there will always be a small core of gas car hobbyists--Just like there are people who build and run steam cars today. But their environmental impact will be practically nonexistent.

Awesome, electric cars for those who do not have oil, yes i support this!

For us however and our rich oil countries we shall have more oil instead of selling it to western nations and therefore use it for our energy and our own projects. If this means no more USA attacks and no more USA invasions. PLEASE!!! NOW!!!

israel is the biggest terrorist in the world... killing any arab they can get their hands on. It's like the case of the fat kid who was bullied in school who grows up to be the meanest person around... jews were treated horrible in europe by hitler & co. but in turn have ended up treating palestinians equally bad....a bloody shame

[Traviskolber]

@ttoale There'll be plugs are every parking spot.

[Traviskolber]

@SimsenDK And Israel is one of the leading scientific and technological countries in the world, despite getting fucked over by its enemies, AND its allies (boycotting and sanctions).

[Traviskolber]

@tri400 Until that resource is gone, too.
