Going green with the electric car: predictions for the automotive industry

In a previous blog, I mentioned entrepreneurial trailblazer Shai Agassi, who currently is advocating the usage of electric cars and electric charge grids to ease our oil dependence.

Looks like more people are picking up on this trend as more time progresses, with CNET reporting that 2011 will be the year of the electric car.

Agassi’s organization, Better Place, previously announced the Renault-Nissan partnership to further their goal towards sustainability and reducing CO2 emissions.

Now, companies like Mitsubishi and Ford are following in their footsteps.

Automakers seek to create vehicles that will get up to 100 miles to the gallon, so that the cost of purchasing an electric car will not seem as hefty.

With the goal of having these cars readily available for purchase by 2011, the automotive industry is changing it’s course, and fast.
