I hope they do not "jump the gun" just to be the first - and pick the wrong battery technology - LiFePo is still an order of magnitude too expensive.
OK - I know we are all disappointed that the EEStor is not out yet. http://bariumtitanate.blogspot.com/ ... but all indications are that there have been very successful *real* demos of operating battery packs - and that it is "any day now" before the production line kicks in ... so wouldn't it be prudent to delay the 'rapid rental' plan till this happens? After all, the bottom line is about $20,000 per car in lower overhead. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Blanton Interview with Better Place CEO: http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/19/electric-cars-for-all-no-really-th is-time/ http://snipurl.com/eo5wk [pogue_blogs_nytimes_com] Terry
