Electrification of automobiles is a hot topic on the green agenda and, inevitably, there is a vast amount of government policy on the subject. Susan Connelly Murphy shows us how and where to search so that we can pin down both international and individual country policy.

What's inside

Government policy on electrification of automobiles falls into four major categories: tax incentives; grants; public investment; and research and development projects. A review of representative countries in each of the major regions will find some countries with well-defined and co-ordinated policies containing clear goals with financial support, and other countries with only general statements of intent. A place to begin research into this area is with the international agencies that track climate change legislation. News and journal articles are also good information sources to follow policies under consideration and recently enacted.
