Renault is the BEST!

The car is a RENAULT LAGUNA because I'm french and I have got this car lol

electic cars do not need to use energy when stopped and are easy to restart. lol it is amost like you never understood how electric motors work. They are in your house. Fans for example

So very true. Some think he wants to be the involved with OPEC, but I don't think so. Shai doesn't like oil, so what if he's from Isreal? This would be like thinking all black people are ni**ers, I have black friends, good and bad in every race. Is he not entitled to express his mind, and make something good happen? Change is good, and I like his concept.... We'll see what happens

the future is here,the ...DeLorean is coming.

Seems bullet proof.. hmmm. can it fail ?

This is the ONLY viable option. It's actually quite obvious, this is what will conquer the market. Thank God!

Thieves can easily break into Lexus ! ! !.Check it out at YouTube "5 seconds break into 2009 Lexus ES350 part 1 " . &YouTube "5 seconds break into 2009 Lexus ES350 part 2 "You will be SURPRISED!!Like what you saw, Lexus " ALARM" was sostupid when the thief broke into.......What a Lexus!!What a piece of JUNK! Hahaha ! ! !

And if you have a combination of renewable energy (biomass cannot work the way it is now) and electric cars, this combination will be a driving factor in the revolution to come. And yes, it will come.

What happens with these cars when they are in traffic jams? At Stop Lights? Do the motors shut themselves off? Or do they continue to run like dinosaur cars now and suck the battery down?

This is VERY VERY big game.They will pay for electric but charge same with gasoline prices per mile.We guess Shai Agassi will be the RICHEST man in history of world or biggest LOSER.

Actually, it's really not. If I can remember the figures correctly, cars only utilize about 1/4 of the energy put into them. By comparison an electric motor is something like 90% efficient, and while the system as a whole has many more steps at which to lose energy it is still both more cost-efficient and energy-efficient than a system based on internal combustion engines...Also, it allows you to power cars with renewable energy (wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, etc.) rather than oil...

I am curious about the total energy of the infrastructure between oil and electric system. For Better Place system, how do they deal with the efficiency in the energy transportation? The combustion of oil in cars is higher energy efficient than the charge system.

I love this idea!

To all those who gave this vid' a slating all I will say is that at least this company is trying. Their not bowing down to the big oil Co.s or Gov. pressure to keep the gas (petrol, diesel) powered vehicles on the road. Those Governments who have 'bailed-out' the auto-makers of these older vehicles (oil-based) should have instead invested those monies into R&D for plug-in E.Vs & 10 years or less from now we'll never understand how we managed before!!! Not utopian but plain old common sense!

Actually I don't really agree... I think the cost of ownership for EV batteries is way to high for most consumers (most likely around 15k euros) and too inconvenient to recharge also (about 1-2 hours are required). If you combine all these cons, I think the recharge station is just what most need.Another thing, in another video, the CEO of better place actually talks about the possibility to recharge the battery at home.

Unlike when you are using oil, and the price never increases...

independent is spelled with an "e".

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 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.
