We hear how many rural areas lack the infrastructure to charge electric cars. Mel Shufflebotham is director of the Zap Map, which helps electric car drivers to find the nearest vacant charging point, and discusses the problem. Christina Calderato is head of transport strategy and planning for Transport for London, and tells us how the city's infrastructure vision could be rolled out more widely. Sinead Lynch chairs Shell UK, and explains how the energy company is trying to stay a step ahead of customer demand. And we hear from Stephen Richardson of The Connected Kerb how street furniture can be turned into electric charging points. Also in the programme, the city government in Berlin has taken a big step towards freezing rents for five years. Our correspondent in the German capital tells us about fears some landlords will try to rush last-minute rent raises before the new law takes effect. Plus, we have a report from Stockholm on how many high-skilled migrants are seeing their work permit extensions rejected, on the basis of small administrative errors.
