Electric cars have received a boost with the news that re-charging points in London will treble over the next two years.

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson announced the plans along with a new electric vehicle partnership and the promise of better co-ordination between London boroughs on incentives.

Nice, the London-based electric car company welcomed the strategy: "Incentives that are clear, consistent and tangible are absolutely central to accelerating the take-up of all-electric cars,” said Evert Geurtsen, Nice co-founder.
