Germany plans to double financial
aid, particularly to develop better, lighter batteries, which remain the
brake on the technology's mass appeal. Cars which emit virtually no
carbon dioxide will be exempt from tax.
Despite
its green reputation, Germany has been slower than other countries,
like Japan, to develop electric cars.
It
now aims to change this, but attitudes may be hard to change. It is a
country where 'no speed limits on the motorway' is seen as sacrosanct.
And
it is the country of the BMW (car), though the luxury car-maker is now
trying to develop lighter materials to make its vehicles greener.
