Making the world a Better Place?

Better Place is an interesting concept of battery switching, replacing petrol stations with battery swap stations, now they are ready for a trial in Tokyo, and the first commercialization will be in Copenhagen later this year. It is almost unbelievable, but HSBC believes in it and were present at EVER to defend their multi million dollar investment ($125 million in exchange for a 10 percent stake).

“Better Place” skal gjøre verden til “ett bedre sted” med ett interessant batteri bytte visjon for el-biler, hvor bensinstasjoner gradvis skal gå over til å bli batteri-bytte-stasjoner. Nå er de klare for testing i Tokyo’s taxier, og den første kommersialiseringen blir i Kjøbenhavn senere i år, det lyder kanskje utrolig, men den anerkjente HongKong-Kinesiske investeringsbanken HSBC tror på dem, og var til stede på EVER for å forsvare sin multi million dollar investering (125 millioner $ for en 10 prosent eierandel).
