The BBC is to produce a series of programmes based around a long distance journey in an electric vehicle (EV).
BBC Electric Ride will see a broadcast team visit a dozen European countries on a journey of over 4,000 miles.
THINK, the Scandinavian EV manufacturer, provided a new THINK City vehicle to the company for the experience.
Kevin Dawson, senior producer of the show, commented: “We want to look at the emergence of electric cars as a dawning reality.
“We’ll be investigating the technology, infrastructure and political will behind the growth of EV culture.”
He added: “Our choice of car came down to practicalities. We chose the THINK City because it is a ready-to-market fully electric vehicle, with a good driving range and respectable top speed.”
The show will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4, BBC News and BBC Online from June 19th.
