Car Buying Online

There’s been such a wave of car consumers getting more informed about hybrid cars and cutting down our emissions that someone just had to do one better.

Hybrid prices are coming down and people are getting more comfortable with them everyday and then Renault-Nissan and Project Better Place annouce their strategies for an 100% zero emissions car with a new battery and more power by 2011.

A little confusing for the consumer to keep up with but great for the planet!

Announcement:

“Renault-Nissan and Project Better Place pursue their strategy of zero-emission vehicles in Denmark

The Renault-Nissan Alliance actively supports the initiative of Project Better Place which announced today its second deployment in Denmark.

Renault will provide Danish customers with 100% electric vehicles at European standards in 2011, providing zero emission mobility while at the same time offering driving performance similar to a gasoline engine.

Nissan, through its joint venture with NEC, has created an advanced lithium-ion battery pack that both meets the requirements of this electric vehicle and can be mass-produced.
In Denmark, the conditions necessary for electric vehicles to be successfully mass-marketed are being brought together. The Danish government will provide tax incentives on 100% electric vehicles, Renault will supply the electric vehicles and, Better Place Denmark will construct and operate an Electric Recharge Grid across the entire country.

This announcement follows the January 21st 2008 signature of an MOU in Jerusalem by Renault and Project Better Place for the first mass-marketed electric vehicles. This second deployment illustrates the major role played by the Renault-Nissan Alliance to bring to mass-market zero-emission cars.”

If they can come up with a decent battery and power system I think people might hold out for a bit before they go hybrid and jump right to zero emission, but then there is the price…
