EVs only exempt from London Congestion Charge

From today, July 1st 2013, only  electric cars are exempt from the £10 per day Monday to Friday London Congestion Charge because only EVs meet the 75g CO2/km limit for exemption. The fine is £120 for those not paying the £10 in their non-EVs.

The Nissan Leaf is just £189 per month to lease, an amount which is less than the cost of a month's Congestion Charge payments.

Not only that, the Source London charging network has 1300 charge points, the highest number of any major city in Europe.

I may not be able to see the tipping point yet, but I can feel it inching towards us.
