An Israeli-American company, Project Better Place,  has plans to create the first electric-car grid, which would allow electric cars to be introduced in large numbers on the road. Project Better Place is  a sillicon valley start-up that will operate the recharging grid to support the electric cars.The electric car will dramatically reduce carbon emmissions and make oil dependence a thing of the past.

Israel was the first government to endorse Project Better Place two years ago and will have electric cars on its highways en-masse by next year.
