SHARE Connie Muir would love to own an electric car. The London-based environmentalist is a prime candidate for a new generation of eco-friendly vehicles. She has checked out the possibilities, but getting behind the wheel of a 'green mobile' is just not viable. “The road that I live on, there’s no electric charging point. None nearby. I don’t have a driveway. I don’t even have a set parking space outside on the street," she said. That's before she even considers the cost of replacing her old car. The Friends of the Earth campaigner is hardly the only city-dweller to face such obstacles in trying to make her use of transport more environmentally friendly. Her struggles are replicated in towns and cities across the world.
