Companies involved in the production of car parts for electric vehicles may be hopeful more cities and towns across the UK will follow in Brighton’s footsteps.

It has been revealed the area will boast ten Elektrobay charging stations by the end of 2009.

The same number again are then due to be installed early in 2010.

Elektromotive – the company that builds the charging stations – is based in Brighton.

Commenting on being involved in an initiative in the firm’s home town, managing director Calvey Taylor-Haw said: "We have installed Elektrobay in locations across the country, as well as in Europe and even Saudi Arabia, but this project is especially exciting for us."

He added the widespread adoption of electric cars in Brighton would help reduce both air and noise pollution.

Meanwhile, Elektomotive recently announced it was planning to demonstrate the benefits of its products to politicians attending the Labour and Conservative Party conferences.
