From Earth2Tech:

Electric vehicle infrastructure company Better Place is planning on using largely standard technology to deliver its electric vehicle dreams: car companies’ plug-in vehicles and basic charging stations. But one of the startup’s key technology differentiators is its battery swap station, and Better Place thinks by sprinkling swap stations at the edge of communities it’ll solve the problem of the short range of electric vehicles. So what technological feat has gone into the production of the battery swap station? Well, you can have a look-see Tuesday night at 10:30 p.m. Pacific time, when Better Place will be showing off a live video feed on its web site of a demonstration of its first battery swap station in Yokohama, Japan.
