Project Better Place (PBC), California, has signed a letter of intent with Danish energy company DONG Energy aimed at reducing CO2 emissions from the Danish car fleet by providing electric cars, batteries and the infrastructure required for implementing a sustainable transportation energy solution. Together with PBC, DONG Energy will work on the further development of the project to give Danish consumers access to buying environmentally friendly electric vehicles (EVs) at attractive prices.
Denmark is the second country in which such a transportation solution is being planned, Israel, previous post, being the first.
The presentation, below, by Shai Agassi, founder and CEO of PBC, at a New Democrat Network meeting gives a very good explanation of the business model that will be used by PBC to implement the electric car fleet and required infrastructure (drag slider to 4:15 to avoid introduction), my short explanation is given following the video.
Through the PBC and Renault-Nissan Alliance partnership announced last January, Renault will provide Better Place Denmark with zero emissions electric vehicles that offer driving performances similar to a gasoline engine. Nissan, through its joint venture with NEC of Japan, has created an advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery pack, using currently available technology, that meets the requirements of the electric vehicle and will be mass-produced.
The energy for the project will be generated by large scale wind or solar thermal installations sending the energy directly over the electric grid into an electric battery which powers an efficient electric motor. The batteries will not be included with the price of the car, rather provided as part of a service plan. The batteries will be charged by the creation of an ubiquitous infrastructure that can enable a car to automatically charge up its battery when parked, and on the exceptional long drive using an exchange station, either part of a gas station or a seperate facility, where the discharged battery is replaced with a fully charged one.
A white paper can be found here at PBC's website, free registration required, which gives a more detailed explanation of the reasoning behind PBC, its vision and plan for execution.
Thanks to Celsias for the tip on the video.
This is a very interesting information. Thank you. BTW, how do you know the battery is lithium iron phosphate? From the website all over, I only get info showing it's a lithium ion battery made in AESC(the joint venture between nissan and NEC).
Thanks
John

Explore your options for healthy aging. Find research and information on the health benefits of resveratrol, the miracle polyphenol found in red wine and its miraculous antiaging benefits. Resveratrol research suggests it has antiaging, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, and cardiovascular benefits.

If you want to make your mining effective, you will learn many other skills, find more wow gold places, and spend a lot of time. Focus on the way of smelting elementium, finding thorium and smelting dark iron.

Amazing. Not long ago we were attempting to create a horseless vehicle. Today its the electric car. Personally speaking I think electric cars are a whole lot cuter than current ones of today as long as they have enough replacement batteries to keep the show on the road.

There will always be idiots. From the way you responded, I can only assume you are one of those who require constant help and have the IT staff seething each time your name comes up.

I'm glad McAuliffe went down, it was karma from the presidential primary. The man has no integrity as far as I'm concerned, he had what was coming to him.

which are another example of what some people call the "lexicalist hypothesis", a view that has occasionally -- but erroneously -- been inferred from some previous writings of mine. Since my linguistic creativity is infinite, I can categorically state that there aren't templates of any sort.
