Designed by New Deal Design in San Francisco, the charging spot includes a connector developed and designed by Better Place that complies with international standards. It will soon be deployed across Israel, Denmark, Australia, California and Hawaii.

Your poll (copy below) is nonsense. Electric is not a fuel, it’s a medium of energy transfer.

I believe future cars will be electric, but am not so silly as to tick it as the ultimate fuel.

Where will the electric energy come from? Who cares, so long as it’s renewable.

Polls
Which do you believe will be the ultimate fuel of the future for our vehicles?
Petrol
Diesel
Hybrid technology
Electric

Hydrogen fuel cell

The charger “complies with international standards”. Does this mean the world has agreed on a standard plug? There has to be a standard, or we end up with half the world driving on the wrong side of the road again, or carrying a bag of adaptors around.

The “right” plug must be V2G compatible, and work in all countries. Please god, let’s not have VHS and Betamax all over again.
