A $1 Billion dollar project is planned for San Francisco in order to install a charging grid for electric cars.  The company incentive funded project will be put in place by a company called “A Better Place” in partnership with Renault-Nissan.  They will distribute the cars under a subscription based program which will offer the cars at a discount and people who purchase them will subscribe to a certain number of miles.

Better Place hopes to expand the plan to Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego and the three highways connecting the Bay Area and the Los Angeles area.
