The electric car infrastructure race is on! A short while ago several mayors in the San Francisco Bay Area announced that they would be partnering with Better Place (http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/11/better-place-coulomb-technologies-expand-california-electric-vehicle-infrastructure.php) to bring electric vehicle charging stations to the area. Now Hawaii is going to do one better and become the first state to have Better Place charging stations across the entire state. Considering that the Bay Area has a population of about 7 million and Hawaii about 1.3 million, some semantic one-upmanship is at work here, but nevertheless this is great news. Here are the details:
Statewide Charging Stations by 2012
The first of the charging stations will by open by 2011, with between 50,000-100,000 charge spots put into parking lots and alongside streets by 2012.
