An electric vehicle charging station has been installed in Adelaide, offering electric car owners free power.
The station has been installed at Adelaide's Central Market car park and can handle two cars at a time.
Adelaide Lord Mayor, Stephen Yarwood, said the station was powered by an Australian-developed fuel cell in what was believed to be a world first.
The fuel cell allows drivers to recharge electric vehicles with power produced with low emissions.
"This project is a sign of things to come as we move towards a cleaner and greener future for our beautiful city," Yarwood said.
The ChargePoint recharging station can produce 12,400 kilowatt hours of power each year.
Excess electricity not used by motorists will be fed into South Australia's power grid.
Nominations for the 2012 ARN IT Industry Awards open on Tuesday, June 12.
