Better Place

I found this VERY interesting article from Wired magazine and I just had to share it with everyone.

http://www.wired.com/cars/futuretransport/magazine/16-09/ff_agassi?currentPage=all

The article is titled: "Driven: Shai Agassi's Audacious Plan to Put Electric Cars on the Road".

The article basically discusses the vision of the ex-SAP executive to change the way we utilize our vehicles. Everything will be electric and the business plan will be laid out just like mobile phone packages. There will be charging hotspots everywhere, as well as a battery changing system, similar to a drive up gas station, where you can get a battery swap. They're stating that the swaps will take less time than that which is needed for gas "fillups".

I feel this plan has a LOT of potential and is definitely worth a read. Visit the homepage for Better Place.
