Who's bringing the electric car back to life? Mayor Gavin Newsom hopes he can help in San Francisco by partnering with Project Better Place, according to Earth2Tech. Mayor Gavin Newsom wants San Francisco drivers to zip around town on electric power.

The venture, founded by the mayor's friend Shai Agassi, aims for all passenger vehicles to run on batteries rather than gasoline. Drivers would subscribe to cars much like they subscribe to cellular phone plans. The biggest challenge is to create the electric car infrastructure, a network of stations for charging vehicles and replacing batteries.

  • I hope.
    As we walk among the plumes of exhaust, we're breathing air laden with chemicals and toxins, degrading our immune systems and getting sick as fuck.

    I cant believe we ever let it go this far.

  • I believe that the only thing that this will do is reduce our dependency on foreign oil. To get the electricity to power the vehicles we will most likely burn coal. If we are ever to go electric, we need to also support renewable ways of creating electricity.
