Pure Green Cars a alternative fuel vehicles.
ISRAEL21c.org sees the future of transportation in Israel, and it's all green. Through Shai Agassi's innovative "Project Better Place," Israel will become the first country to mass produce electric cars.

We are not focused on manufacturing cars… There are plenty of companies that will be manufacturing electric cars. Our focus is on the mass manufacturing of our capacitance primary side charge system for large scale installations (such as US Interstate Highway System) and our secondary side retrofit kit for any and all manufacturers of electric cars.
Im interested in buying one, so email me on here and tell me more.
We have done research… A lot of research… $3,000,000 later and we have a 2800 lb. electric car that goes around our track at 55 mph and has reached a distance of 800 miles with no plugging in and half the batteries of a Tesla Roadster… I think you may have misunderstood… We are not powering the motor with inductive coupling, we are charging the batteries with IC while the car is moving along the track.
In order to create enough power to feed the motor and propel the car at any sort of speed, it will take LOTS of power. You never get any power for nothing, theres always losses, so you dont even get back what you put in.
In short, what needs to happen for this to work is electricity to magnetism, then magentism back to electricity.
Again, im not saying it cant work, induction is a great thing, but i find it very hard to believe it will work on a car going down a road.
Actually, “Inductive Power Transfer” through “Inductive Coupling” is very efficient and getting more efficient as the technology becomes more popular. The amount of “magnetic emission” is less than a common household microwave oven. The car still has the standard configuration and operational properties of an average electric car, just fewer batteries and doesn’t require “plug in” Search keyword “Inductive Power Transfer” and see this system already working to some extent in many places…
Sorry! Ran out of space!
Im not saying what youre saying here is never going to work, but im saying it is very unlikely.
If you do abit of research on transfering power via induction, youll see that its not going to be very effective at the sort of range you get between the underside of a car & the road it travels on.
For that to work, itll take a huge amount of current, & require a massive amount of copper windings inside the bottom of the car to convert the magnetism to electricity.
Interesting idea, however it would be very inefficient. Magnetism will travel through air, but it likes traveling through ferous items alot better.
The amount of magnetism youre going to need to induce an EMF into a car is going to be a massive amount. People allready complain about magnetic emission from powerlines now, i cant see them embracing the idea of having them in the roads which is alot closer to the people that think it will effect them.
A highway system that utilizes solar and wind energy that powers electric cars as they travel along the system. Search YouTube with keywords “Interstate Highway Inductive 2.0″ and you’ll get a better idea of what I mean. This system allows for less batteries per car and eliminates the need for “plugging in.”
What do you thing is?
Lead acid: 95%+ worldwide is recycled, because the lead is worth money. Lithium will be the same, nickel too. Worth cash=recycled. If we have a lot of EVs being made, these metals are going to increase in value, too.
Awesome question.
Petroleum has very high energy density (kWh/kg) and enables a lot of energy to be carried for a given mass. Batteries are far less dense as energy stores, which makes me think that they won’t soon power anything that looks like a normal passenger plane, for a good while yet.
Zeppelins are efficient, and make do with less power. You could print the envelope with thin film PV cells…but I don’t think it would be very fast. Ship, not jet speeds.
“the love Blimp”, anyone?
“Plug-in” electric cars are not the solution…
My Lord, the amazing amount of anti-capitalist, anti-freedom comments here from people who really have no idea where their freedom and prosperity come from. There’s gratitude for ya…
Everything has a price; there’s nothing that’s free. If it is, it makes no one a living, so they won’t deal with it. Just because some immature attitudes think they shouldn’t have to pay their own bills, we should trash everything and go with…a Renault?! Yeah, right.
Plans are currently on the way to bring them to San Francisco in the next few years and to have 1 million electric cars on the road by 2015.
Of course America wont start using these until about 200 years have passed cause America really refuses to adapt since it involves work.
He never said that he was taking credit for creating the electric car… umm but he is one person who actually took to initiative to actually make a difference an help implement it in a large scale so that eventually we all can use electric cars..
It’s all well & good to give all the credit to this guy from Israel. I like Colbert for commenting that he “dressed for the ocassion” (he was wearing a tee shirt)
I’m sure that one of the big Detroit Automakers came up with an electric car in the past. No!
GO ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wise idea.
RECPECT!!!!!! =) FOR ISRAEL
very interesting article. being a 3d cad specialist myself, i really like hearing about electric cars.
..smart, rich, powerful AND gutsy! That’s what I love about them — their courage and independence! They don’t let ANYONE intimidate them. Just like little David facing the giant, telling him how he is fixing to feed his cadaver to the wild beasts and that before the day is out the world will know there IS a GOD in Israel!
My husband built an electric car engine in our garage over 20 years ago. The whole idea has been squelched by the old industry. Plain and simple. Israel is just smart enough, rich enough, and powerful enough to tell the oil industry to take a hide and THAT’S what has never been done before.
God – loves them!, what, I don’t understand! – i am a silly 25 year old generation Y who has been waiting to buy an electric car since high school – at the moment – Shai Agassi is one of my many Gods!
No wonder G-d loves these people so much — they’re AWESOME!
