- Description
- In January 2008, the Israeli government announced a major initiative to switch the country to electric cars, with the 'Better Place' concept and company as the implementation platform, both developed by the software entrepreneur Shai Agassi. Since then, Better Place has grown powerfully and gathered an extraordinary momentum. A Better Place is, to date, the most comprehensive business model, among the recently rising world of electric vehicle suppliers, V2G planners and distributed mobile storage developers. It is also uniquely innovative, and relies on focusing on the leasing of batteries and the sale of access distance, or pay-per-mile service contracts, instead of the sale of cars and petroleum.
