Backers of electric cars are showing where drivers will be able to charge up around San Diego County in an effort to battle “range anxiety” — the fear that an electric car’s battery will run out of power and strand the driver.
In maps they are releasing today, local government, utility and corporate officials have identified which neighborhoods will be the first to get public chargers that are funded in part through a federal grant.
“It’s the basic infrastructure that helps support the expansion of electric cars inCalifornia ,” said county Supervisor Ron Roberts, a member of the California Air Resources Board.
The officials want people who are thinking of getting an electric car to see where they can go without fear of running out of juice.
They’re also showing off the chargers, to be branded “Blink” by Ecotality, a San Francisco company that is leading the federally funded effort.
The chargers are coming because San Diego is one of the first regions in the country getting electric cars in a nationwide pilot project.
