Frankfurt Motor Show 2009 - Better Place Announcement
Tuesday, 15 Sep 2009
From the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, this video shows our founder Shai Agassi announcing our newly expanded agreement with Renault that commits both companies to a volume of at least 100,000 electric cars in Israel and Denmark by 2016. We also named new ecosystem players including Continental of Germany, Flextronics, Intel, Microsoft, and TÜV Rheinland to help Better Place scale up global production of its EV services platform and deployment capabilities.
From their exhibition at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, this video demonstrates the use and convenience of the Better Place solution through a day in the life of an EV driver. The video features battery switch, charging at home and work, in-car services (charge levels, remaining miles/kilometers, navigation, location of charge spots and battery switch stations), smart phone integration, and how all of the components interact to provide a comprehensive electric-vehicle services solution. The end result is that the Better Place driver has unlimited range and a state-of-the-art driving experience while having minimal impact on the electric grid.
