Two eco-friendly bays...
Two eco-friendly bays in London"s West End offer a three-hour stay. That"s enough time to recharge most cars, according to Westminster council. Interested owners of electric cars first need to register on the borough"s eco-mark scheme. It already has 280 members, but for a ÷£50 deposit, they get a special cable to plug into the sock-ets. The UK has the world"s largest number of electric vehicles, currently at more than 10,000.
