Electric Avenue is a street in Brixton, London. Built in the 1880s, it was the first market street to be lit by electricity. Today, the street contains several butchers and fish mongers and hosts a part of Brixton Market, which specializes in selling a mix of African, Caribbean, South American and Asian products. It is located just round the corner from Brixton tube station (1972). The elegant Victorian canopies over the pavements survived until the 1980s.
In popular culture
The road gave its name to Eddy Grant's 1983 single "Electric Avenue", which reached #2 on both the UK and U.S. singles charts. The song was inspired by the 1981 Brixton riot.
Bombing
On 17 April 1999 the neo-Nazi bomber David Copeland planted a nail bomb outside a supermarket in Brixton Road with the intention of igniting a race war across Britain. A market trader was suspicious and moved it round the corner to a less crowded area in Electric Avenue. The bomb went off, injuring 39 people.
A programme from the 1988 BBC series 'Electric Avenue' was a late-night TV Series follow on from Micro Live broadcast in 1988/90 and presented by Fred Harris.
Programmes
The series was split into 11 programmes, each about 24 minutes long and dealing with a particular subject area. They were as follows (original airdates in brackets):
The fleet of plug-in electric vehicles in the United States is the largest in the world, with about 410,000 highway legal plug-in electric cars sold in the country since 2008 through December 2015, and representing about 33% of the global stock.California is the largest plug-in car regional market in the country, with almost 174,000 units sold between December 2010 and September 2015, representing 47.2% of all plug-in cars sold in the U.S. since 2010. The U.S. market share of plug-in electric passenger cars increased from 0.14% in 2011 through 0.37% in 2012 to 0.62% in 2013. The segment reached a market share of 0.75% in 2014 and fell to 0.66% of new car sales in 2015.
As of January 2016, there were 26 highway legal plug-in cars available in the American market from over a dozen car manufacturers, plus several models of electric motorcycles, utility vans and neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs). As of December 2015, cumulative sales are led by the Nissan Leaf with 89,591 units, followed by the Chevrolet Volt with 88,750 units. Ranking third is the Tesla Model S with 63,161 units. The Model S was the top selling plug-in car in the U.S. in 2015.As of 31 January 2016, the United States had 12,203 charging stations across the country, led by California with 2,976 stations (24.4%). In terms of public charging points, there were 30,669 public outlets available across the country by the end of January 2016, again led by California with 9,086 charging points (29.6%).
It was initially released as a single in 1982, and reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart. In March 1983, CBS decided to launch the single in the U.S., where it spent five weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 (kept out of the top spot by a combination of two songs, "Flashdance... What a Feeling" by Irene Cara and that year's song of the summer, "Every Breath You Take" by The Police) and hit #1 in Cash Box magazine. "Electric Avenue" was a hit on two other US charts: On the soul chart it went to #18. On the dance charts, it peaked at #6.
