Allez France
Article Abstract:
The French government and the automobile industry have taken the initiative to make electric vehicle technology popular by 2000 AD. Electricite de France, Peugeot and Citroen vehicle manufacturers and some local residents are cooperating in a two-year trial period. The conversion of petrol/diesel vehicles requires a charger and converter, additional instrumentation, high tension wiring and sturdy vehicle structure. The electric cars use lead-acid batteries that provide 80 kilometers of daily use. The government is offering financial incentives and subsidies for buying electric cars.
