Initially the plan calls for deployment of charging spots in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Kefer Sava, Holon and Jerusalem. The company’s first electric parking lot however is the Cinema City parking lot in Pi-Glilot:
Better Place touted the event:
With the pilot, the company has signed an agreement with "Ahuzat Hof's" parking lots while it also simultaneously finished infrastructure deployment in other areas including the Bazel parking lot, Europe house, Axelrod and the IBM corporate campus.In every parking lot, charging spot infrastructure has been planned and implemented. The deployment included production planning of electricity board installation and deployment of electric cables from the board to the charging spot, with emphasize on safety, quality and the electric network reliability.
