The expansion of the UK\u2019s recharging infrastructure is being primarily funded through the Government\u2019s Plugged-in Places scheme, and also by enlightened local authorities such as Milton Keynes and Oxford. Despite the ongoing budget cuts, the Office of Low Emission Vehicles has confirmed funding of \u00a3300 million for the installation of 8,500 recharge points by 2013, 4,000 of which will be \u2018on-street\u2019 public access points.<\/p>\n
Next Green Car have added a further 282 electric car charging points to Zap-Map in the two months since its launch, resulting in a total of 1,034 points mapped across 451 locations.<\/p>\n
The majority of the charging points continue to be the \u201cSlow\u201d chargers (6-8 hours for full charge). However Zap-Map has added the first six \u201cFast\u201d chargers (3-4 hours for full charge) and an additional two \u201cRapid\u201d chargers (80% charge in 30 minutes) to add to the existing 27. Zap-Map will continue to be updated on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe continuing roll-out of recharge points at home, at the workplace and in public locations is key part of encouraging the take-up of electric vehicles. As part of this electric revolution, owners of plug-in EVs need an easy-to-use data resource showing where the public recharging points are located \u2013 this is why we have developed Zap-Map in the UK\u201d says Dr. Ben Lane from Next Green Car.<\/p>\n
The Next Green Car\u2019s Zap-Map can be found on a new electric cars micro-site within Next Green Car, which also provides an electric car buying guide, details about available electric models, model prices and more.<\/p>\n
Next Green Car\u2019s Zap-Map is now available to license by third parties, either as a fully integrated bespoke map or as a data feed to integrate onto an existing map.\u00a0 Great news, keep them coming!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
