Peter Curran drives through Scandinavia, and visits a carbon neutral Danish island.

Peter Curran continues his investigation of Europe's electric car industry, by electric car, in Scandinavia. From June 2010.

Peter Curran attempts a pioneering 4500 mile drive round Europe in a battery-powered electric car. 

Peter travels through Denmark, Norway and Sweden, countries he finds to be very eco-friendly - though at this time of year also very rain-sodden.

He visits Samso, known as Denmark's Energy island and is invited to lead a 100 electric car convoy round Olso, one of the largest ever gatherings of electric cars.

Producer: Kevin Dawson
A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
