£5000 towards your next electric car
As reported by the BBC last week - BBC NEWS | Business | Plan to boost electric car sales
The government will be offering a £5000 subsidy for those people buying electric cars. I know we probably covered this in another thread, but...
That's one hell of a scalextric set I'm going to buy myself

Tamiya 1/10 Nissan GT-R - 58411 - £116.99
+ £ 100.00 for the radio gear and spare batts
That leaves me with £ 4778.00 (or so) to spend towards a gas-guzzling, planet killing rice rocket!

£5K off a Tesla doesn't sound that enticing though 
Plus how much does it cost to fit 3phase in a house with a single phase residential supply so I can charge the thing at a decent rate toallow it to be usuable (presumably having to dig up the drive to do so).
Come to think of it how much will it cost to charge it using a high current 3 phase connection

As for what sort of car you can get well, why not a G-Wiz or Mega City, as they're in the showrooms now. Oh wait, " ... A DfT spokeswoman said the G-Wiz and Mega City were not eligible because they were classified technically as quadricycles, not cars. “We will be discussing the details of the scheme and eligibility rules with the car industry over the coming months.” ... "
A whole crock of sh)te the whole thing. Typical Nu Labia all over, spin spin and more lying spin .....

Sheer genius except 75% of Britains electricity is generated by fossil fuels:lol1 Throw in the fact that the national grid is already at full capacity, and would not be able to cope. and you have another useless gimmick by these bunch of tossers.
