Better Place plans to have the stations open for the mass market by 2011. It expects to build between 50,000 to 100,000 charge spots _ in parking lots, downtown streets, and neighborhoods _ across the state by early 2012.
Shai Agassi was predicted to be the future CEO of SAP. Instead, he started Project Better Place. This is an ambitious game changing idea to create infrastructure to support electric cars. In a way, his work is one part of the chicken and egg problem of extending the range of electric cars.
Israel and Renault-Nissan will be the first partnership to deploy electric cars on a large scale. Denmark is the second country. Shai explains it on his blog about the partnership and the concept.
