Electric cars for London?
... Bring your Chelsea Tractor instead.
As of May last year there were only 40 recharge points spread across all the London boroughs, according to a transport for London press release. That included some of the Westminster ones before the rollout of more – so it looks as if charging points outside Westminster are very few and far between.
