Electric car charging points will be provided at Cambridge car parks later this year – and motorists probably won’t have to pay for the power.
Special bays will be reserved at two multi-storey car parks for electric or hybrid vehicles, with special plugs provided so drivers can top up their batteries.

It looks likely the charging period will be limited to three hours, but there will be no cost beyond the usual parking fee.
At first there will be two spaces at Queen Anne Terrace car park, and another pair at Grafton East.
Cllr Clare Blair, Cambridge City Council’s climate change chief, said: “We have a commitment to reducing carbon emissions in the city centre and encouraging people to use more sustainable transport, including electric cars.
“The proposal is to impose normal car parking charges and to give drivers the electricity free of charge, and that’s a very generous offer in these days of rising electricity prices.”
