Shai Agassi: One Man's Mission to Turn All Cars Electric
Shai Agassi is a man on a mission -- an ambitious one to wean the world off its oil addiction and turn everyone into electric car drivers. The Israeli businessman is developing a global network of charging spots and "battery switch stations," which will effectively work as gas stations for electric cars. With his California-based company, Better Place, Agassi has partnered with car maker Renault-Nissan to produce the first generation of emission-free electric cars, known as the "Fluence," which Agassi says "will not be more expensive than your average Sedan."
