Ministers unveiled the range of electric cars at London’s Guildhall which is planned to be tested in 8 different cities in the UK, in a bid to decrease carbon emissions. The government have put in £25 million for the project to take off, with the Technology Strategy Board to organise a showcase of the vehicles. These are believed to be available in the next 6 to 18 months, with over 340 cars put forward for the test including some notable names such as Mitsubishi electric MiEV and the Mini E.
