Better Place goes Canadian with Ontario electric car partnership

Auto Blog: EV/Plug-in , Green Daily , Better Place The electric car deal-making juggernaut that is Better Place is staking its claim on a new territory. BP representatives are in Ontario this morning and, along with Ontario Premier McGuinty, announced a new partnership to advance the cause of EVs – what they’re calling a Car 2.0 model – in the Great White North. Better Place will do this by establishing a Canadian head office in Ontario and build an EV demonstration and education center in Toronto. Ontario is also working on a study, to be released in May, that will determine ways to “speed up the introduction and adoption of electric vehicles” there. Better Place will come up with an EV charging network plan and timeline for Ontario. Bullfrog Power, which partners with Better Place, makes 100 percent renewable energy in Ontario (that’s their wind turbine in the picture). We’ll keep an eye out for more information on this latest announcement. For now, go ahead and wade into the weeds of the Better Place plan and technology a bit by clicking here .
