Two primary concerns have inhibited the success of the electric car: the cost of the vehicles are higher than comparably-sized gasoline cars; and the mileage range of a typical car battery is much shorter than the range of a gasoline tank. For lengthy trips, that would mean having to stop every 150 miles or so, finding a place to plug the car in, and waiting several hours for it to power up. A new company called Better Place has the solution to both of these problems, and may be the “enabler” that finally brings electric vehicles into the mainstream!
