In order for companies getting into the electric vehicle business to have a chance to be financially viable, they are going to need help from governments. That means incentives to help offset the vastly higher initial cost of such vehicles as well as a means to charge them. General Motors and Elektromotive are getting together to "educate" British parliamentarians about what needs to happen in order to make EVs a financially viable proposition.
They will attend the annual conferences for the two leading political parties, Labour and the Conservatives in the coming weeks. Elektromotive will bring its charging station and GM will bring a prototype Vauxhall Ampera (aka Chevy Volt) for MPs to try out. GM and Elektromotive will be encouraging the politicos to invest more in building out a public charging infrastructure in Britain so that when EVs become more widely available, people will be able to juice them up.
