Better Place will invest an initial $250 million by 2012, rising to $1 billion eventually, on a network of charging points across the San Francisco Bay Area, which includes San Jose, Oakland and Silicon Valley. This will allow drivers of any make of electric car to recharge the vehicle’s battery at locations including public and office car parks, government buildings, on the street and in their own home.
Oh, and by the way...

Wow! That's going to hurt!
