Better Place takes its electric vehicle network in Israel for a silent spin

Better World has been striving for, erm, a nicer planet with its battery-swapping approach to electric vehicles since as far back as 2008. There's been a modicum of success, with outlets and swapping stations peppered as far and wide as Denmark, California, Australia and Japan. Now, the Associated Press reports that world's first nationwide electric car network - this time in Israel - has been given its first test. This only equates to four battery stations at the moment, with a further 40 to follow in the second half of the year.
