At a Churchill Club Event in Mountain View, Calif., Better Place CEO Shai Agassi discusses his systems-based model to bring the electric car to countries around the world. He talks about the challenges so far building out the company's charge spots and battery-switch infrastructure in Japan, Denmark, and Israel, and what it will take to scale in countries like China and the U.S.

RE: Shai Agassi's Better Place: Rolling out the electric car to the masses
This would be terrific, EV's are long over due for being a larger share on the roadway. Is the biohazard waste disposal or reclaim and replenish cost (~$10K) trade-off in those questions keeping you up at night?

Love EVs but think Better Place is heading in the wrong direction.

Battery swapping is cool technology but very expensive. You must pay for the swapping stations, the extra batteries in the swapping stations, and lease the battery from Better Place. With all those costs involved, expect a high price from Better Place when you go to lease the battery.

Shai has great vision. He will inspire everyone to make this happen. There are lots of excuses and it's way over due. I've been pluggin and GRID tied for over 10 years and it pays off too.
