Pre-Budget support for electric cars welcomed

The Pre-Budget Report as outlined by Chancellor Alistair Darling, has been welcomed by award-winning green car guide, TheGreenCarWebsite.co.uk.

The definitive guide to green cars is pleased to see the introduction of tax incentives for company car drivers and businesses that choose electric cars and vans as part of their fleet.

“These kinds of tax incentives are very important to nurture green innovation within the industry and develop a market for the cleanest forms of transport,” explains the website’s editor, Faye Sunderland.

“Electric cars are not perfect, they have source CO2 emissions. But with the support provided for renewable fuels and small-scale electricity production, electric cars will become cleaner over time. For now, one of the best benefits they offer is that they reduce localised emissions and inner-urban pollution. Let’s not forget that that alone is a massive threat to human health,” she concludes.
