There is no point in manufacturers producing car parts for electric vehicles if the necessary infrastructure for the widespread introduction of such models is not in place, it has been suggested.

Elektromotive has called on the government to make sure the country is ready for significant increases in the number of battery-operated autos in the coming years.

The Brighton-based company issued this appeal as it prepares to demonstrate its Elektrobay charging stations at the upcoming Conservative and Labour Party conferences.

It revealed it has joined forces with General Motors to offer politicians first-hand experience of using the facilities with Vauxhall’s battery-powered Ampera model.

Managing director Calvey Taylor-Haw stated: "It is vital the government keeps the introduction of electric vehicles at the top of its agenda."

In other news, Elektromotive recently revealed it was installing 150 of its Elektrobay charging stations across the campus of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia.
