The new posts, says Johnson, will be available to all owners of electric cars, which can access after paying an annual fee of 100 pounds (about 115 €). The modus operandi of the charging stations Source London have been made as simple as possible: users, in fact, will only have to park your electric car at one of the columns, pass a personal magnetic card into a scanner and recharge the batteries.
