Israel Corp to invest $100m in new electric car

Posted Aug 27th 2007 at 3:11PM by Lascelles Linton

Israel Corp plans to invest $100m in a new electric car. They will own 33 percent of the venture, which will have a total initial investment of $200m. The face on this deal is Shai Agassi, blogger, who also ~~has~~ had a little job (he says sarcastically) heading SAP, the world's largest business software company. He has had a few things to say about electric cars. Here are some quotes from a speech he made:

"You have to know one thing. The total cost of ownership of an electric vehicle crossed under the total cost of ownership for a fuel-based car a year ago. It's really hard to notice because most people do not see total cost of ownership. But once that has happened, it's just a question of amortizations and monetization ways. To create a financial model that actually works."
"Our goal is to get to 100,000 cars on the road in 2010."

Update: Shai no longer works at SAP.
