Better Place, which we’ve covered in their quest to install electric charging stations for EVs, officially unveiled their first operational charging station. The station is in Pi-Glilot, Israel and ones like it will be popping up throughout the country in major cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
The station is the first of several that have been agreed to with “Ahuzat Hof’s” parking lots throughout the nation. Other companies, including IBM and Axelrod have also signed deals to have the stations installed there.
Better Place Israel’s CEO Moshe Kaplinsky plugged in his EV at the unveiling, touting the charging station’s reliability and safety features while his car took on juice.
