The Best Way To Lose Money, Buy An Electric Car.
Let’s begin at the beginning, since the search began for a cleaner mode of motoring gained speed a few years ago literally billions of dollars/pounds sterling has been invested in searching for the solution.
The Nissan Leaf, a new electric car from the Japanese company is going to cost motorists over £24,000 for the privilege of owning the basic model. This price makes it more costly by over £2,000 than its main rival the Toyota Prius.
The Leaf is scheduled for long term production at Nissan’s plan in Sunderland, North East England, following an initial production run in Japan, it will be produced on the same production lines already in use making the Nissan Note.
The month of February 2010 may go down as the start of the new electric car revolution.
Quite appropriately it has started in Japan in the East with giant car makers Nissan and Renault joining forces with the All Japan Ryokan Association (AJRA) who will promote and install electric car charging facilities in their 18,000 hotels.
The Renault-Nissan alliance are leading the way with new innovative electric car charging. They are now introducing electric car charging facilities via an affiliate organization into a major chain of hotels in Japan.
Once again it’s a case of “now you see it, now you don’t”; we’re talking here about electric car manufacturing subsidies.
We again have a case of our government making all the correct press statements and TV announcements stating their full support for this new developing car sector but then we find there are severe restrictions on what they are saying.
