INDEX, a Danish non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire designs that meet the needs of society, presented the award today to Better Place Founder and CEO, Shai Agassi, at its biannual black-tie INDEX design ceremony in Copenhagen. The INDEX award win comes one month after the Better Place charge spot design won the 2009 International Design Excellence Award. "From day one, our philosophy has been that electric cars need to be more convenient and more affordable than traditional petrol-powered cars if consumers are going to go green on a global scale," Agassi said. "To make electric cars more convenient and affordable, the infrastructure has to be designed for consumer ease of use as well as for urban aesthetics. Our view is that the more consumers who want convenient, affordable and fun electric cars, the more communities will want Better Place infrastructure deployed on their premises to attract consumers.
