From the Desk of David Pogue - Electric Cars for All! (No, Really This Time) - NYTimes.com
March 19, 2009.
More about cars and driving today. This is about a company that is trying to address one of the problems prohibiting the adoption of solely electrical cars--the need for re-charging. They are working to roll out a system of charging stations and switching stations (for those longer drives when you don't have time to wait for a re-charge, they switch out the whole battery) BEFORE the cars are released.
If you think of our first location in Israel, we will have about a quarter of a million charge spots before the first car shows up. Just like you wouldn't buy a cell phone on a network that wasn't built yet. You have to first build the network. And then let the cars come in.
