for electric vehicles has opened in Sutton, South London. Three charging bays are now on-line in the town's Gibson Road car park, with the scope for expansion as demand increases.
The electricity is provided free to anyone who applies for a key from Sutton Borough Council's Parking Services department.
The recharging equipment is provided by PowerGen as part of the pan-European Zeus Project to provide zero and low-emission transportation in urban areas. With improvements in battery technology moving ahead of infrastructure provision, Sutton's initiative is designed to help break the "chicken and egg" cycle. C LDV is collaborating with PowerGen's electric vehicle subsidiary, Wavedriver, to develop a van that can be recharged in an hour.
