San Francisco To Charge The Electric Car Market

摘要

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, environmental leaders in the Bay Area are hoping a $1 billion investment from the local firm Better Place will help the region become the first in the country where the wide-scale use of electric vehicles is practical. Better Place, a venture-backed company that aims to reduce global dependency on oil, said its charging-station network for electric vehicles will cover the region by 2012, and the mayors of San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland, Calif., are planning to take part in the effort by creating cohesive regional regulations for electric vehicles.
