>Hello Steve and transport working group. The recent news about Better Place (betterplace.com) is very interesting on the electric vehicle front (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2042000120081120)! In addition to what they've worked out with San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland, they are also actively discussing what might be done in Palo Alto with Council members and staff.
