Portugal, Renault-Nissan Set Electric-Car Plan - by Ucillia Wang
Four months after signing an electric car deal with the Renault-Nissan Alliance, Portugal has come up with a more concrete plan for charging these cars when they arrive.Under the plan, 320 charging stations will be in place and ready to serve by the end of 2010, and 980 additional stations will be added by the end of 2011. Portugal plans to offer income tax credits, write-offs and parking credits to consumers and businesses to encourage electric transportation. These tax incentives will kick on by late 2010 and last at least five years, according to Renault-Nissan. Portugal also wants 20 percent of its public vehicle fleets to consist of zero-emission cars starting in 2011. Renault-Nissan plans to begin selling electric cars in Portugal and select markets in early 2011.
