Top Gear: would you like a free EV charging post?

If you follow the electric vehicle debate on Twitter, then you may have noticed @zerocarbonworld, the Twitter moniker of a charity formed by Kevin Sharpe.

Established in 2009, the charity set up the UK's first charging network under its Charging Stations Everywhere initiative. The idea is simple: Zero Carbon World will donate a charging station to your organisation, office, home, restaurant, hotel (you get the idea) free of charge. The goal is to build a network of open i.e. not smart card based charging points across the UK and eventually worldwide in order to promote and facilitate the use of electric vehicles.

I hope the Zero Carbon World network is a big success. Then we might put an end to the Top Gear nonsense about running out of charge in an EV.

Maybe the Top Gear team would like to request a free charging point for their Surrey test track? (Just saying).
