Charge my car
Originally uploaded by sbisson.

An electric car charging station on a London street.

Spotted originally with a small vehicle actually plugged in - and with what appeared to be an official photographer at work, snapping away while the car was disconnected.

I suspect that it's a fairly recent installation...

Covent Garden, London
March 2007

The charging stations would be more popular if they were designed to look like a TARDIS...

Does it work though, or was it just a repainted plastic dustbin brought along by the photographer?

What do they expect you to do if your battery's flat but the charging stations are all in use? Are they going to put a charging socket next to every other parking space in the country?

we did actually see two of them yesterday; one blue one black (as I initally assumed it was the same one twice)

Sure would be nice to see more of that over here in Canada...everyone here is driving fucking Suburbans and other SUVs...it's sick, and stupid. There is apparently no market for fuel-efficient cars here...no one cares...
