Nissan hooks up with electric chargers

The car maker and its sibling Renault have signed a deal to work with British company Elektromotive, which builds electric car-charging stations.

The bays, called Elektrobays, provide easy access for charging a vehicle. They are typically located within a short distance of parking spaces and provide a secure, weather-proof attachment to the vehicle. The Elektrobays provide up to 240 volts and 16 amps of power depending upon which country they are installed in. They are accessed through a key fob and lock shut during use to prevent tampering.
