E-Cars for San Francisco?

San Francisco has long been recognized for its historic cable cars, but in the near future they may also be known for their electric cars.  According to the Project Better Place website, the company has been in negotiations with Mayor Gavin Newsom about creating a city-wide infrastructure that would support a large number of electric vehicles including features such as battery replacement stations and parking meter charging stations. 

If the city really goes through with the plan it would be the first in the U.S. with an electric infrastucture, but hopefully not the last.  Project Better Place recently launched similar programs in Israel and Denmark that have been very successful so far.  This could be a major boost for the future of electric cars and good solution to the ever-rising costs (financially and environmentally) of gasoline.
