20 cities will be ready for electric cars. Will yours? | Cooler Choice: "Inspired by groups like Better Place and Project Get Ready, Dr. Dennis is trying to bring together New York politicians and the utility Consolidated Edison to get moving on creating a network of electric charging stations, so when the EVs are ready, the city will be too. “I really want to help the city be a leader in this area,” he says.
Better Place is a California-based company that has already signed up Israel, Denmark, Australia, Hawaii, and San Francisco in far-reaching partnerships to not only install stations, but also battery swapping and the EVs themselves (from the Renault-Nissan Alliance).
Project Get Ready, an offshoot of the Rocky Mountain Institute, also puts together coalitions to get EVs up and running (though it’s not involved in the hardware side). So far, its partners are Raleigh, North Carolina; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Portland, Oregon (already the hybrid capital of the world)."
