Supermarket.com can reveal that drivers keen to take out car insurance policies for electric vehicles (EV) may support calls from one company for the government to offer financial incentives to such motorists sooner or later.
GoinGreen- The firm responsible for the Reva G-Wiz model expressed disappointment that grants towards the purchase of this type of eco-friendly auto would not be made available until 2011. The department of Transport recently announced that the motorists would be eligible for up to £5,000 to help them buy an electric car.
According to GoinGreen, if the country’s leaders want to encourage emission-free motoring, it cannot afford to delay such measures. However, it will take more than a year for such financial incentives to be put in place.
Motorists who do not want to wait to buy an electric car may find they can reduce their costs by searching for cheap car insurance quotes online.
