In a move set to make the cost of running an electric vehicle even more affordable, British Gas has launched a free charging package to include a home charge point and access to the nationwide POLAR public charging network.

25 families in have taken delivery of a British-built Nissan Leaf, as part Low Carbon London project to understand the impact of low carbon technologies on the electricity network.

Source London, the capital’s electric vehicle charge point network and membership scheme, has now met the Mayor of London’s commitment to provide 1,300 publicly accessible charging points.

The Government has set aside £37 million to help fund the installation of charging points for electric vehicles at private dwellings, railway stations and on-street locations – but none of the money will be available to businesses.

Drivers with plug in vehicles are set to benefit from a £37m funding package for home and on-street charging and for new charge points for people parking plug in vehicles at railway stations.

Charge Your Car (North), the largest regional network of EV charge points and its sister company Zero Carbon Futures are to enter into an agreement with Chargemaster, a leading provider of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Businesses and residents in Milton Keynes will have the opportunity to reserve and drive a Nissan Leaf electric car for just £5 per hour.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure provider Chargemaster is to acquire rival changing network business Elektromotive.
