Japanese customers in Tokyo got the first taste of electric taxis with switch batteries yesterday when "Better Place" launched their switch battery electric taxi battery station in Tokyo. Taxi's can get recharged batteries in less than sixty seconds and the new service cuts green house gas emissions
"This new type of electric vehicle, however, is capable of traveling about 300 kilometers a day by dropping off old batteries and picking up new ones at specialized stations. The old battery left at a station is recharged while the vehicle continues on its way with a new one."
