Better Place LLC plans to officially launch the electric car in Israel on October 1, 2011, according to a presentation by Renault SA (Euronext: RNO) at a Deutsche Bank conference. Renault began production of the electric Fluence in Turkey in June, and has so far produced 660 preproduction units intended for ten pilot programs around the world.

According to Renault, the Fluence has already undergone severe summer condition Israel and southern Spain, and reached a continuous travel range of 182 kilometers in some tests - 20 kilometers more than planned.

Renault's economic model states that the cost of the Fluence, not including the battery and cost of the subscribers plan, will correspond to the price of the diesel model of the Fluence. The company says that this pricing model was the preferred choice in market tests that it conducted. Renault says that Better Place has committed to buying 115,000 Fluences, including those for Denmark.

In addition to the Fluence, Renault plans to deliver to several countries, including Israel, the electric model of the Zoe compact. However, it is not yet clear from Renault's information whether the Zoe will have only a permanent battery, or if it will also have the battery replacement option supported by the Better Place model.

I have heard that Obama cut support of the hydrogen fuel project at University of South Carolina as one of his first acts as president.

Is anyone going to buy one?

[Zelhar]

I don't have a car but I would hypothetically consider buying electric if I ever buy one.

[White Israelite]

Depends how much it costs, and isn't Renault French?

Shai agassi is a great tzadick! I have been trying to inform Our fellow jtf'rs about better place for a very long time. Watch the zootubevids on how he explains with great detail how to convert entire nations off of oil. Renault and nissan have jointyly decided to do this project with better place! Better place provides the infrastructure in israel for the electric  cars to be based on and renault and nissan produce the cars. Just to get his foot in the door with these Big car companies that shimon peres actually set up the meetings with the exeecs just for shai agassi. And his whole company is privately funded that they were able to raise 200 million dollars. Everybody knows that oil will eventually run out even the boulshavic establishment approved of this!

Here is the website on this tzadick!
