Following the
Prime Minister, Gordon Brown’s
pledge to support the
development of a national
network of charging points for
electric vehicles, Elektromotive
has announced that it will have
completed the installation of
its 100th Elektrobay charging
station in London by the end of
next month.
There are already
80 Elektrobays in operation in
the Capital, with another 40
installed in various locations
across the UK. Round-the-clock
usage has led to increased
demand for electric vehicle
charging stations, resulting in
additional roadside Elektrobays
being introduced across London.
Elektromotive has significantly
and consistently added to its
network since the first unit was
installed in Westminster in
2006. The company is currently
in advanced talks with cities in
the North East and Midlands to
expand its infrastructure even
further.
As the world’s
leading provider of charging
stations, the Brighton-based
company is playing a central
role in collaborating with local
authorities, energy companies
and vehicle manufacturers to
facilitate the large-scale
introduction of electric
vehicles. Elektromotive has
recently joined forces with the
Renault-Nissan Alliance to
accelerate the global
installation of charging
networks in cities, and has been
in partnership with EDF Energy
since 2007.
The compact size
of the British-built Elektrobay
enables it to be positioned in a
number of practical locations,
such as by the roadside and in
public car parks. Sophisticated
technology allows the
simple-to-operate unit to
integrate with the UK’s energy
infrastructure and easily
identify those using the
facility.
Calvey
Taylor-Haw, Managing Director
for Elektromotive says, “Access
to charging stations across the
UK will be crucial to the
successful shift towards
zero-emissions motoring. The
Elektrobay is a proven and
practical solution to building a
network of charging stations,
not just in the UK, but around
the World. Our aim is to have
Elektrobays on every street and
in all car parks around the UK,
so we are delighted to hear the
Prime Minister’s commitment to
establishing charging points
throughout the country.”
