It Was Exactly A Year Ago Today

That I unwrapped my very first electric car and drove her away.

Keys on the table When Better Place owners meet up

I’ve written a lot about the experience and I’m still as positive as I was that day. I’ve heard from many people who’ve bought electric cars, partly helped by my writing and I get a tremendously positive feeling when I hear those stories.

I have two new articles up today, the most comprehensive review of my year will be published a little later at Green Car Reports. It covers one year in a Better Place car.

I’ve also penned a companion piece for Times of Israel which answers a variety of questions that myself and fellow electric car pioneers get asked while we are driving and parking our cars.

    I bought a ZE as well and love the drive and customer but what about the RANGE? Will we receive batteries from switch stations with a range of 200 km between charges?

    What say you, Brian?

    0-60 mph (100 KPH) in 4.3 seconds. 11.90 seconds in the quarter-mile. 40-60 miles range, eats 110-220vac, 50 or 60 HZ for the “mains”. Currently hand-made, we are shooting for less than 20K USD if we can get ’em mass-produced.

      I was hoping this thing would work out. I feel your pain, Brian. Here’s a little ditty that I hope might cheer you up:

      I snarl, I hiss
      How can ignorance be compared with bliss?
      I spark, I fizz
      for the car who knows what time it is
      I cheer, and I rave
      for the virtue I’m too late to save
      The sadder but wiser car for me.

      adapted from “The Sadder-But-Wiser Girl” from “The Music Man”

      I’ve long suspected, and now I’ve got my proof, you really are the kind of person who says “I told you so.” I now find my life completely fulfilled. Thank-you.
