Together in electric dreams

Gordon Brown has been teasing us with hints on the contents of this months budget. Admittedly this is not the most exciting tease, but it is a tease all the same. Brown is promising a 'green' route to economic recovery.

High on the list are electric cars, roadside power point to charge your car and incentives for 'green' car makers. Evoasis are one of the organisations bidding to become the power point provider, and have some really cool designs for power stations.

The report in today's Independent talks of potential trials in 3 cities for electric cars. These are likely to take place next year, and will no doubt see a scramble by local councils to premiere these initiative.

As drivers we are all feeling the pressure of rising fuel bills and feel we should be doing our bit for the environment - but are we ready to embrace electric cars? The fear by many is that what we will gain in our wallets we will lose in speed. Fear not an electric car has been developed that can out perform its petrol counterparts.



If you are looking for a car now and don't want to wait for the power station to arrive in your town, how do you make sure you are driving greener (for the world and your wallet).
