I think that despite the Toyota vs. Honda mess that it’s causing, this is a brilliant move. Conservation must start at the top, and I applaud the Israelis for being leaders in this regard.
It is a little ironic that Better Place recently went into bankruptcy protection, having burned through $850 million of investment funding, only for Tesla to introduce a similar battery swapping service which has gone down very well. Perhaps the difference here is the name of Tesla?
I am still torn between these two non-American brands. I like them because they are both cheaper than most of the electric vehicles. They are not as expensive as the Tesla Roadsters, too, but they can always deliver one of the best services. Please help me with this big decision.
Toyota of course! They make the highest performing cars in their classes and with the exception of the CRV all of their engines are nearly indestructible. Toyota engines are much less maintenance than other cars.
