Renault-Nissan to First Mass Market Electric Car
August 4th, 2009 | by admin |
In a move towards reducing CO2 car emissions and particles pollution, the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Project Better Place signed a Memorandum of understanding on January 21 in Jerusalem. The solution framework comes in response to the Israeli State’s challenge to the automotive industry and its supply chain to migrate the country’s transportation infrastructure to renewable sources of energy. For the first time in history, all the conditions necessary for electric vehicles to be successfully mass-marketed will be brought together in a partnership between the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Project Better Place in Israel. The Israeli government will provide tax incentives to customers, Renault will supply the electric vehicles, and Project Better Place will construct and operate an Electric Recharge Grid across the entire country. Electric vehicles will be available for customers in 2011.

Project better …
Project better place could only work in a country as small as Israel. There will be no competition, no innovation, and no choice.
To think this would work in the US or other large countries is naive.

Israel makes sense …
Israel makes sense as the first place to try this out on a mass market, the Arabs have most of the oil and they don’t much like Israel, it’s also a smart move as peak oil is becoming an issue

It’s much needed in all countries, so it is nice to see Israel lead in this project.
