Londoners ready for electric revolution...




London is ready for an electric car revolution, according to the latest report from car manufacturer smart.

Two commuters were the first to receive their smart fortwo electric cars as part of the largest ever electric vehicle trial in the UK, the Mercedes-owned Manufacturer announced.

The event coincided with the release of a new report which showed that 73 per cent of Londoners want to know more about electric cars as they look to do their bit for the environment.

In addition, 74 per cent of the respondents to smart's Plugged-In survey said they would be prepared to drive less in order to reduce pollution.

At the presentation of the two new fortwo electric cars, London Mayor Boris Johnson said: "We are now on the brink of an exciting era of cleaner, greener electric motoring.

"London is already taking steps to ensure drivers in the capital will be able to embrace this new technology and plug in with confidence."
