Gilad told Globes that he expects these cars to be "commercially on the roads" by the year 2012. He notes that the company largely responsible for this occurring, Better Place LLC, is on the "fast track" in setting up the infrastructure needed for running these cars on Israel's motorways.
Nir Gilad believes that these cars are the trend for the future; and that every leading car maker has announced plans to offer their versions of electric cars. When Globe's reported told Gilad that "The cow called Better Place has eaten a lot of grass and when will it be time to 'milk it' Gilad replied:
