Public Charging Points on a 0.6-billion Business Estate
Many of us have been worried that London is the only British city to have a well-formed electric car expansion strategy. It seems now that others are slowly catching up. First, Scotland expressed its commitment in providing an infrastructure to welcome electric cars. Now it is Birmingham.
A giant property developer alliance, that is made up of Hammerson, Future Fund and Henderson Global Investors, have installed four charging points on their famous Bullring estate that includes a mega shopping-mall, office buildings and other facilities.
The incentive is being backed by E.ON energy and CABLED – a consortium encompassing several car manufacturers and universities. Additional 32 charging points will be built on in Birmingham and Coventry. The timing of this campaign is great – CABLED is currently running several field tests involving Mitsubishi i MiEV and Smart ED electric cars.
