Nissan's CEO leads the way!
While the UK has not been the most forward thinking country when it comes to electric vehicles there have been a number of significant changes in this strategy over the last few months. For some strange reason the UK electric car industry is really starting to take off so what exactly is going on and what can we expect in the future?
Electric car trials across the UK
The UK government has today announced a £25 million electric car program which will seat 340 vehicles join the UK roads in places such as London, Birmingham, Coventry, Oxford, Newcastle and Glasgow. Most of the vehicles involved in the trials will be wholly electric although there are some petrol hybrids which have been introduced to the mix to gain feedback from users.
Many people believe this is the start of the UK electric car industry, one which could if successful lead the world on ultralow carbon emission vehicles.
