雷諾Fluence Z.E.

????雖然短期內這款電動車還無法登錄美國經銷商的展廳，但它仍然會吸引人們的廣泛關注，這是因為雷諾（Renault）Fluence電動車是第一款使用了電池交換技術的汽車，該技術由硅谷一家名叫Better Place的初創公司研發。這款全電動轎車平時可以在城市里的電池充電站充電，不過如果需要長途旅行，途中不允許長時間充電的話，它還可以在一個經過特殊設計的加油站里將用盡的電池取下，換上一個充滿電的電池，只需幾分鐘時間即可搞定。Fluence電動車的售價約在35,000美元左右，電池可單獨租賃，租價每月300美元。這款電動車已經作為出租車在東京和以色列進行了一段時間的測試，現在雷諾計劃在2012年向澳洲市場進行推廣。

Renault Fluence Z.E.

????You won't see it in U.S. showrooms anytime soon, but a lot of attention will be focused on Renault's Fluence, the first production vehicle to use battery-switching technology developed by Better Place, a Silicon Valley startup. The all-electric Fluence can be topped off at battery-charging stations around town, but when longer trips don't permit extended recharging times, it can be juiced up by swapping out its depleted battery pack for a charged one in a matter of minutes at a specially designed refueling station. The car is priced at about $35,000, and the batteries, leased separately, cost some $300/mo. After tests in taxi fleets in Tokyo and Israel, Renault is taking Fluence to Australia in 2012.
