Inhabitat.com has some conceptual illustrations and a map showing EV infrastructure, such as battery exchange stations, stretching from Sacramento to San Diego — though this is far more extensive than the Bay Area program actually announced, which alone is estimated to cost $1 billion.

but times they are a changing. rail is going to come back strong. our romance with the car is over
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
this is cool. You know, most of the rest of the ChristianWalmartMicrosft States of America can't stand this stuff. And that's fine.
