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).

The inside of a Nissan Leaf

One of the first Electrical cars to be mass produced, Nissan Leaf, delivers 160 km range, and 140 km/hr speeds (for about 33.000 USD), for delivery this year.

Innsiden (/skjellettet) i en av verdens første masseproduserte EL biler, Nissan Leaf, tar deg 160 km av gårde på en lading, i opptil 140 km/t, og koster ca 33.000 USD leveringsklar i 2010.

Brusa / Protoscar

I didn’t test drive any car, but I did like this one like a “Think” car on stereoids.

Jeg prøvekjørte ingen biler, men jeg likte denne litt ala en ”Think” elbil på steroider.

Ferrari from red to green?

Ferarri is also turning green, if not it’s signature color, at least on the inside. For now though they have only engaged in energy efficiency, not battery or zero emission.

Ferrari blir også grønnere, om enn ikke signatur fargen på bilene, så iallfall på innsiden. Foreløpig er fokus dog kun på energi effektivitet, og ikke på batteri / ny nullutslipss teknologi.
