Citroen’s new electric city car - the C-Zero - met with Boris Johnson earlier in the week.

London is set to increase the number of electric car charging points from 250 to 1300 by 2013 in a bid to become the "electric car capital of the world". An electric vehicle charging network - Source London - will launch this year and attempt to provide a better infrastructure for charging electric vehicles.

Research conducted by Citroën asserts that the average daily journey in an urban environment is 23 miles and because of this, Citroën claims that its C-Zero - with a fully charged range of 93 miles - is ideally suited to driving in London.

Johnson said: "Through the development of Source London we are seeking to create the fertile conditions for electric vehicles to flourish, to make our city the electric driving capital of Europe."
