Electric vehicle recharging company Elektromotive has been given the Green Innovation award by TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk.

The award – given out for the second time – is given to a company which judges believe to have contributed greatly to the use of greener technologies or ideas within the car industry.

Faye Sunderland, the website’s editor, said: "When we considered the potential winners for this award, there was one name that instantly sprang to mind. Elektromotive is unique in its position as the UK’s leading supplier of electric car recharging stations."

She added that the company was vital to the government’s implementation of electric car recharging stations.

Elektromotive currently has around 250 recharging stations around the UK and has recently expanded to Saudi Arabia as well as European countries such as Ireland, Germany, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium.

Volvo recently unveiled its new electric battery-powered C30 which could be on the road as early as 2011.
