Remote control cars you can fit into

The buzz on the streets has people talking about Israel’s venture into electric cars and as Haaretz points out, “there’s nothing trendier than global warming”. The initiative comes via Shai Agassi and Idan Ofer’s “Project Better Place” which aims to shift the world’s cars from fossil-fueled to electric-fueled. Agassi is confident that an electric car will be built over the next five years, and is focusing his energies (ha) on creating recharging stations across the globe. You can watch CNBC’s interview with Shai Agassi here. Is it wrong to still be rooting for the flying car, too?

“Agassi is confident that an electric car will be built over the next five years”
Where has this guy been for the past five years, let alone fifty?
Electric cars already exist, and if you have the money ($50,000 and up) you can pick one up fairly soon.
Of course Venture Vehicles is creating one to be released in 2009 that is between $18,000-23,000 although his idea of stations may be nice.
I am not too sure how successful he will be, as the gas industry could easily convert their current stations and allow cars to charge up there (if electric cars become popular enough).
