This video is a simple demonstration of the process that Project Better Place has implemented in order to quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively switch out car batteries in electric vehicles. It’s a short and wordless video but it is very interesting in terms of understanding the technology and process behind these electric cars. This video helps the viewer understand the practicality and feasibility of EVs. In just a little over a minute, see this robotic switch station take out the battery from an electric car and replace it with a fully charged battery.

In this video, CNBC interviews Better Place CEO Shai Agassi about his company, the viability of the electric car in an economic and environmental sense, and his latest funding from HSBC. Hear how Israel was chosen to be the first test site for a national implementation of the Better Place electric vehicle program. It is a nice introduction to understanding why Israel was key in Agassi’s development of his EV system. It also discusses the actual cleantech technology at work in his EVs. Agassi answers the questions that environmentalists, economists, politicians, and global citizens alike are most concerned about when it comes to widespread implementation of Electric Vehicles.
