Boris Johnson's announcement has pleased electric car company NICE
NICE, the electric car company, has welcomed Boris Johnson's announcement that the number of recharging points in London will be trebled in two years.

The company has said it is keen to be a part of Mr Johnson's nw electric vehicle partnership and praises the promise of better coordination between London boroughs on incentives.

"This is all excellent news," said Evert Geurtsen, co-founder of NICE.

"Incentives that are clear, consistent and tangible are absolutely central to accelerating the take-up of all-electric cars. This announcement shows Mr Johnson is on the right road."

NICE is currently exhibiting its wares at the British International Motor Show at the ExCel centre in London.

Three debut models have been launched, boosting the choice available to those interested in the all-electric market.

Priced from £8,995, the MyCar is a European designed two-seater, the Ze-0 is the world's first affordable all-electric MPV and the e500 is an exclusive limited edition version of Fiat's iconic small car. All are on sale now.

"We are delighted that Kulveer Ranger, Boris's director of transport policy, took time to visit us on the NICE stand today," Geurtsen added. "We hope Mr Ranger will take the message back to the mayor that a strong line-up of all-electric cars is available to Londoners now."

Kulveer Ranger was at the motor show, speaking at the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership annual conference.
