Abstract

When will the dream of the electric car come true? What visionary projects have been developed for this purpose? Shai Agassi, the Israeli-American entrepreneur, has started impressive fund-raising through Better Place for its start up. The idea is to establish territorial networks and technologically advanced charging stations for electric cars in the next months. Nevio Di Giusto, managing director of Fiat's Research Centre explains that hybrid engines are the goal of the near future.
