Sneak peak at the wireless charging taxi rank in Nottingham. Four of the wireless charging ground pads have been installed in the road so far, and the final adjustments are being made to the Living Object Protection (LOP) pillars. There's a vibrant lick of paint too #WiCET

It might just look like some roadworks, but this is Nottingham leading the way with green technology. In a UK first, cabbies in electric taxis will be able to charge wirelessly while waiting for passengers. Pretty cool...and Govt funded https://t.co/nAYW8TlnTe
