Better Place

Better Place aims to end the world's dependence on oil for personal transportation by building a network for charging electric cars powered by renewable energy. Better Place began deployment in Israel in 2008, with plans for similar network deployments in Denmark, Australia, California, Hawaii and Ontario, Canada. With the network in place, Better Place buys batteries and clean electricity and sells miles/kilometers to provide drivers a convenient, affordable and sustainable alternative for mobility.
