摘要

So the government is chucking ￡250111 at the creation of city charging points for electric cars and promising grants of ￡2,000 to ￡5,000 to motorists who buy the cars to plug in, though such cars won't be with us for some years. Such vote-cadging gestures make no positive contribution to the realisation of the electric car dream, now more than a century old.
