2010 is the year electric vehicles (EVs) hit the mainstream with EV roll-outs from many of the world biggest car makers.
To this end the Queensland government has issued a discussion paper (don't worry it's really quite short) about how QLD will promote EVs to take advantage of their ability to help reduce pollution and start weaning us off oil.
Next they want to know what we think about EVs and our ideas on how to get people into them.
According to Kate Jones: "Priority areas and actions canvassed in the Roadmap include environmental impacts; recharging and electricity grid impacts; standards, planning and regulation; consumer uptake and behaviour change; industry development; and renewable energy"
"I invite all Queenslanders who have an interest in sustainable transport solutions to consider the issues and opportunities identified in this EV Roadmap and provide their comments and ideas on this exciting new technology."
If you want to comment, you can do it here until the 19th of July, the short discussion paper is here.
