I agree junittc7, …
I agree junittc7, even if this is geopolitical driven, the result still help the environment while forcing the oil rich countries to lose some of their power, and maybe start to become innovative for a change

okay so lets say …
okay so lets say this is entirely geopolitical and not about the environment.
would you be upset if saudi arabia and iran were forced to look internally for development rather than depend on their oil supplies to fund terrorism worldwide?
so maybe these people aren’t only concerned with the environment. but it does help the world in more ways than one.

This is another …
This is another idea planned by a guy who wants to CORNER the market for (EV) power. This is just like the oil companies taking over the trolleys in California decades ago to sell more OIL. This is such a BullCrap Idea I can’t believe people are buying into this. EV’s allow you to charge on your own, this does not allow that. You are at the MERCY of Better Place, when they raise the rates, you are SCREWED! Wake Up World! It Ain’t A Better Place

Continued; just …
Continued; just like in the video there would be streetside charging plugs for the electric cars and battery exchange stations. In 1912 the small fleet of electric cabs were the only thing running in the giant blizzard of that year in New York City, the electric cabs were hailed as the saviors. Maybe the promise of electric cars can be realized now that we have the information age and powerful people can’t pull the wool over the peoples eyes.

I don’t know if you …
I don’t know if you people know this or not but this same concept was put forth by Henry Ford and Thomas Edison in a joint venture in 1911, there was a three way race between electric, steam power and internal combustion, the electric car was on his way to winning this race when some shenanigans took place and Edison’s battery factory and laboratories were burned to the ground. Read the book (Internal Combustion) by Edwin Black it’s an eye opener.
