Google’s initiative RechargeIT , has put in a $10 million to promote development of plug in hybrid vehicle technology.The recipients of its plug in vehicle program are Acta Cell – a battery developer and Aptera Motors – an electric vehicle maker.This initiative of Google has further lead credence to the viability of electric vehicles for mass uses.
Through such ventures Google is not only scripting the future but also looking to play a major part in it.Given the advanced level of technology currently employed in electric vehicles , Google’s expertise as a software developer can surely come in handy for designing the IT needs of such vehicles.As Rolf Schreiber – engineer Recharge IT says , beyond the se initial investments Google is also looking to backing companies that control the rate of plug in vehicle charging rate.The future of transportation seems to be software controlled and maybe manipulated via the internet . (Trust Google to come up with something of that sort ! )
