London gears up for electric vehicles

25,000 charge points to be in place in capital by 2015
On the day that London has been branded as having the poorest air quality in Europe, Transport for London has unveiled its plan to ramp up the use of electric transport in the capital.

The plan appears geared towards electric cars - 1,000 of which are set to become part of TfLs fleet in the next few years – and the move will see the introduction of 1,600 charge points across London by next year and 25,000 within five years. At that point no Londoner will be further than a mile from a charge point.
