HONOLULU -- Better Place announced Tuesday the activation of the largest electric car charging network in Hawaii offering free charging via more than 130 charge points by the end of 2012.

"The Better Place network of Charge Spots on four islands offers more public charge points per capita in Hawaii than any other state," said Brian Goldstein, director of Better Place in Hawaii.
