USA: Villaraigosa announces electric car infrastructure plan

Los Angeles is known by many names, among them “the quintessential city of sprawl,” “the congestion capital of the world” and the consistently top-ranked area with the country’s worst air pollution.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has said it all himself, yet he still seems to believe that the city can serve another, simultaneous function: as the eco-friendly launchpad for electric cars.

By the time the vehicles are expected to appear in significant numbers in the market – late 2010 to early 2011 – Los Angeles and a coalition of partners are expected to have at least a skeleton infrastructure of charging stations ready to go, he said.
