A company called Better Place has plans of installing thousands of battery replacement and plug-in stations that would serve electric car drivers. The startup from Palo Alto created a stir when it revealed that it would be building thousands of stations where electric car batteries could be recharged, as well as replaced.
This would lead more people to buy electric cars, as being stranded with an exhausted battery and no charging station in sight is one of the biggest worries of potential electric car owners. In such a situation the electric car plans of Better Place would provide an encouraging boost.
It is one of the most effective strategies to come up in an uncertain and tense atmosphere, where car manufacturers are hoping that Washington bails them out against the widespread public opinion that the car industry needs to do what it should have done a long time back that is, reboot itself. The people behind Better Place have envisioned a future with vehicles that are powered by emission free and renewable resources, combined with an efficient network of battery monitors, charging stations and payment avenues. If things work out as planned, electric car companies would be able to launch their cars in a more supportive atmosphere which would ensure the success of the electric car revolution.
