Better Place announced this week that it intends to build the re-charging infrastructure necessary to bring electric cars to market in the Bay Area by 2012.  Better Place hopes to install a quarter of a million charging stations and 200 battery exchange stations in the region. 

Better Place CEO Shai Agassi noted, “We need to put together a new industry, and it needs to scale very fast.”  His plan to equip the Bay Area is supported by all three of the region’s big-city mayors.
