Vergeet de hybride auto -- Shai Agassi zegt dat het elektrische wagens zijn of niks als we echt impact willen hebben op uitlaatgassen.  Zijn onderneming, Better Place, heeft een radicaal plan om volledige landen olie-vrij te laten functioneren tegen 2020.

Shai Agassi's gedurfd plan voor elektrische wagens

Ending a country’s dependence on oil is possible by making electric cars more convenient and affordable than gasoline vehicles. By separating car ownership from battery ownership and building networks for charging and battery swaps, electric miles could cost as little as two cents by 2020, undercutting even the cheapest gasoline. Battery swapping can be quicker than refueling at a gas station, and charging infrastructure can leverage the fact that cars are parked 22 hours a day. Bold national policies and new business models, not incremental tweaks, are needed to trigger mass adoption and curb the 25 percent of global CO2 emissions produced by cars and trucks.
