It’s a decision that probably won’t register on the radar of most performance car fans, but it should. Yesterday the new Government decided it will stick by the old Government’s plan to offer a £5,000 incentive to everyone who wants to buy an electric vehicle (EV). The current regime of cost-cutting meant Gordon Brown’s plan had to go back to the drawing board to be re-examined, but now it’s been given the green light for the second time. This is good news for everyone, because if we are going to have more vehicles along the lines of the stunning Tesla Roadster EV (pictured), then the UK has to be serious about building an infrastructure in which designing, engineering, testing, assembling, selling, owning and driving EVs is taken seriously. Yesterday, one small step was taken on a very long road to making that happen.
