Little Chef is bringing power to the motorist. The roadside chain, known for its Olympic breakfasts, will begin testing high-speed electric charging points at 10 branches within weeks, allowing cars such as the Tesla Roadster and Mini E to charge their batteries in as little as an hour. If successful, the trial could lead to a roll-out across all 173 branches. The company that developed the technology is planning a network of 1m charging points so that battery-powered cars can travel long distances without their drivers worrying about finding a place to “fill up”. More
