Wireless charging for electric taxis waiting in their rank is to be trialled in Nottingham.

The government is putting £3.4m towards fitting five charging plates outside the city's railway station.

The six-month pilot project will see 10 electric taxis fitted with the necessary hardware and the scheme could be rolled out if successful.

Officials said electric vehicles were "vital" to improving city air quality and making charging convenient was key.

The Department for Transport said wireless charging was more convenient and avoided the clutter of cable charging points.
