Electric Cars and Better Place

Better Place is a company founded by Shai Agassi  The goal of the company, from the videos, interviews and articles that I have written, in a nutshell, is to make electric cars feasible.  Everyone in the word agrees that oil is at/past its peak in terms of being able to pump out the maximum from the ground.  And we all agree  that we need to power our cars differently.

Better Place sounds amazing if we can get the infrastructure up.  If we can get this infrastructure, which I am thinking may cost alot, I think Better Place is feasible.  Slashdot has a reference to how the battery replacement works, and how quick it is.

My skepticism comes from the amount of money I think it may take to get the infrastructure up and running.  We are having issues now in trying to change things around, I can't imagine it will be too easy to get this done.

In all reality, I want this to work, and I truly hope it does.  I just hope that we can get over the big financial hurdle to get it all done.
