G-Wiz, the only electric car available in Britain so far
British has announced an initiative to encourage the use of electric cars, as the central part of its strategy to promote ultra low-carbon transport over the next five years.
This came as the country faces twin pressures in salvaging its car industry, a key player in the national economy, and fulfilling its goals in carbon dioxide emissions cuts.
But the initiative has already come under fire from green groups and opposition parties who say it is not viable, both economically and ecologically. Seemingly well-founded, the plan may bring many troubles before Britons could see such vehicles in car showrooms.
