Energy Innovation

Better Place is a groundbreaking new framework for electric transportation to be deployed at country scale. Better Place will provide the re-charge infrastructure to support electric vehicles so that electric cars will be able to travel through a network of charging locations and battery exchange stations, with easy access to electricity. Through partnerships with car manufacturers and battery suppliers that will create huge benefits for its network subscribers, Better Place will provide the vehicles’ batteries and electricity to users at a price-per-month considerably below current gas vehicle costs. This will make electric vehicles convenient, affordable, and appealing.
