Project Better Place

This forum needs some serious restructuring and cleening up. It's just a long list of mostly dead topics now without any system. What it takes is a moderator that organises threads by subject and deletes old threads that nolonger attract any attention. In it's current structure (or rather lack there off) this forum is becoming inaccessable for people who are interested in specific topics.

I am ardent follower of Shai Agassi's blog since its started and project better place. I even have Google alerts setup to read the news as soon as they arrive in the internet. Even though I live in USA now, I have good contacts in Hyderabad, India where I grown up.

Hyderabad is one of the major cities of India and project better place will have great future there. I would like partner with you to open up either your showroom/help in promoting the product/build the foundation...etc. I see the options as endless and I want to do this with full my passion rather than purely for money.

Hope you contact where we can talk more…I love what you are doing simply I just love it.

Thanks & Best Regards,

I am following with great interest the Project Better Place since your first public announcement in October this year and I confess I was and I still am intrigued by the whole idea.

I listened carefully and tried to be as realistic as possible in assessing the chances of success of such a bold project. I heard what you said about this not being a science project and I read the opinions of the skeptics and I wonder.

I see it as a great business opportunity that shouldn't be missed. However, this is a much larger enterprise than many people can think of comprising a global scale cooperation of battery manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers, electric utilities, international safety agencies, local and government administrators and regulators, banks etc.

Although the $200.000.000 investment for this startup is impressive and probably without precedent it is only a modest beginning for such an ambitious project.

However the automobile industry is one of the less prone industries to jump on a swift change of direction, not taking into account the oil industry and I can see the difficulties this enterprise is going to face. If you could manage to tap the huge financial reserves of the oil industry for this project its chances of success would be definitely higher.

Regarding the ecological aspects of the project I confess I am not so optimistic. You mention Israel as a great transportation island, but electricity generation in Israel is dominated mainly by coal (70%) and oil and natural gas (30%). Renewable energy in Israel is practically zero and the Israel Electric Corporation will take care of its own interests, clean energy not being one of them.

If you could convince me I was wrong I would happily applaud you.

Denmark is a more likely place to start, from an ecological point of view, provided the Danes are ready to share your vision.

I wish I could be of any help in promoting this project.

I sincerely wish that in 5 years from now the Project Better Place will be a prosperous and sound business

Shai,

I love the concept and the vision. In fact, I feel I can contribute to its success, and I have been trying to reach you. Timing is very important.

I contacted one of your PR people; Mr. Rory Mackin. I am quite anxious to speak with you. He said he forwarded a message. I just became aware of the forum here, so I thought I would try this too.

Since you are the admin of this forum, I assume you would be able to contact me by email without my having to publish the address here.

I look forward to speaking with you.
