    Hi Weeowens, I think you are right - 10,000 - although the text does not mention 2013, the year 2013 is mentioned for North East England with a target of 1,000.

    'North East England is without doubt one of the UK’s electric vehicle epicentres. The region is already home to a well-connected charging infrastructure; it has more than 400 charge points on-street, at visitor attractions, at hotels and at retail parks and by 2013, 1,000 charge points will have been installed'

    Cheers,savorel

    Maybe there is a typo on the question & it should be:
    How many Charge your Car charge points will be installed in the North East by 2013

    I'll hold off entering & bookmark it for a few weeks just in case.
