If they are being targeted at people in cities, then the whole concept is stupid, and not really needed. I used to live in Munich for two years, and I never used my car to go anywhere where I didn't need it's trunk for something, and that trunk on a 1965 Mustang 2+2, was a LOT larger than the ones in electric vehicles. Anywhere that I need to go, I could get there with the "S" Bahn, "U" Bahn, or Trams, so an electric car would be a waste. What I DID use the Mustang for, was playing "HEEERRE Porsche, Porsche, Porsche" in the left lane of the Autobahns from Munich, to where my Brother was stationed in Giessen, which AGAIN, is too far of a trip for an electric car, and I doubt REAL seriously, that one could have kept up with my built up Mustang that would run all night at 140 MPH.
If they are meant to reduce pollution in the cities, why not adopt public transportation systems like they have in any large city in Germany, CLOSE OFF the city to privately owned cars, and leave the cars for inter city travel??
