Shai Agassi’s electric vehicle infrastructure startup, Project Better Place, may be aiming to work with San Francisco. Mayor Gavin Newsom has been talking with the company about potentially building the infrastructure for a fleet of plug-in cars for the city, including parking meter charging stations and battery replacement stations.
