    I think having battery staitions is the answer to the issues of range. Just like filling up your gas tank, one stops to get charged batteries. The stations can have solar pannels as roof helping them be more eco friendly. Too bad there is so much red tape involved in getting this idea going.

    I wonder how replacing the combustion engine taxis with electric vehicle taxis will affect the health of the Japanese in Tokyo.

    Los Angeles needs a huge fleet of these vehicles and to add more solar powered charging stations throughout the city. Imagine: free energy for public transportation systems (and a lower cost passed on to its passengers, reducing the need for traditional fuel consumption!)

    @Mishkafofer I think the main reason for a big car is that you need it for this kind of battery. I assume that you might be able to provide smaller batteries for a higher price. Oh, and the NY Times knows: Mr. Fujii said in an e-mail message that the Dualis “vehicle body is very suitable for the switch to E.V. configuration”

    And at least about 40% of the energy comes from Japan’s nuclear power plants. This is the only way we’ll ever get a nuclear powered car!!!!1!

    You are right Mr Better Place: this is the ultimate test and demo. Each taxi customer will physically enjoy Zero Emission car and have a chat with the driver about “is it better, how does you charge, what distance you do every day, what about the driving experience, is there a magic somwhere, can I get one ?”
