The Grid part of the green master plan is very important, and starting to get the attention it deserves. Companies who build EVs like Tesla and Zap are doing the innovations on the vehicle side of things, and we need the grid to catch up to the technology’s potential.

This shabbat was my first sighting of an electric car in Israel (electric, but “also “gasoline powered”, it said on the back). It was rolling on so quietly on battery power alone that I did not notice it behind me till I turned around. I jokingly asked the driver if this was “Shabbes drive?”

Questions that should be asked (but probably wouldn’t) are….

– What would be the ecological cost of all these stations? ….this plan entails building a new infrastructure altogether. How long would it take to neutralize this impact?
– These batteries would work on electricity sourced from coal, how is this “ecological”?

He probably has good intentions, but seems like a lack of actual actual know-how of “green”…. I hope he reads treehugger.com 🙂
