the idea is great;its application is problematic!in denmark,where 60% of its power derives from renewables,it might be acceptable;in israel,though,where 95% of its power derives from coal,gas and oil,electric cars will only contribute negatively to the greenhouse gases problem,because of their indirect increase of non-renewable resources consuption!it would be better to invest in more energy efficient public transport, such as hyvrid buses and METRO railways,than private electric cars for which there are not enough parking lots anyway!

“Critics are worried that Better Place will be establishing a monopoly”

> No, you will always be able to buy EV’s from Nissan, GM etc.

“and green groups are against the laying down of new infrastructure.”

> Yeah, but ending oil far outweighs a new infrastructure.

“Others argue that Israel’s electric grid won’t support the system.”

> Better Place electric car charging infrastructure network will be controlled by a smart software platform, unique and the first of it’s kind in the world that will enable Better Place to manage the charging of hundreds of thousands of electric cars simultaneously during peak hours of the day without overloading the electrical grid of the host country.
