The Electric vehicle is to become a common household item whether it is a new Peugeot Ion or even a new Citroen. Kent and the rest of the UK have been notified that the year of the electric car has been named by the Government as next year, 2011. Cars that are eligible for grants will shortly be announced but only after the three main electric vehicles go on sale next month. The government is seeking a real change in the way we perceive our everyday travels and car usage.

The Government early this morning announced that up to a 25% grant will be given when each vehicle is purchased and that over 4000 power points are deemed to be fixed into place throughout the UK in 2011. Although the average electric car is set to cost around eighteen thousand pounds, the Government have stated they are still backing this radical change in the way we perceive renewable energy and fuel emissions. Customers with a sense of ownership and pride will in fact buy these small, compact electric cars because they will want to buy into the way of life.
