Britain Gets Electrical
Britain’s road infrastructure is spreading fast with many more charge-up point across the country.
London is of course the first place where everything kicked off but now there are other places who have started up the idea. Of course you may be aware that the next place going electric is going to be Brighton.
Brighton was chosen because it’s the home of Elektromotive, the company that developed and makes the Elektrobay roadside charging station and which has installed more than 100 in London since 2006. Four stations are already in place in Brighton and will be useable in time for their official launch on October 2nd.
The Elektrobay is actually able to charge up plug-in hybrid cars with all customers getting a key that actually unlocks the unit for roadside charging.
The great thing is that by moving to a smaller place it is starting to show just how big of an impact it is all making.
The problem at the moment is one; there aren’t enough places to charge up an electric car and two; because they’re still a bit rubbish. People are jsut not interested because of these two reasons.
However, once there is somewhere to charge up people will get them and that will in turn create demand for more research funding to make better cars.
So although there are actually not very many places where you can charge up your vehicle if you give it a bit of time we could be on to something here.
The real question that needs to be asked is will they be upgrading things likeused cars to make them greener? If you have recently gone out and purchased a Audi TT Roadster then you are not going to be pleased when you cannot upgrade it to make it a bit greener. Cheap Audi is just one of the brands that needs to be looked into for this.
