(BCSEA) welcomes a
recent
Minister Terry Lake that
the government will con-
tinue BC's successful elec-
tric vehicles program, and
that the Clean Energy Vehi-
cles Program will be retained
for at least another 12 months.
"Countries all over the world are
working together to `fuel switch'
transportation, beginning with the take-
up of electric vehicles, knowing that they
play an essential role in building a green
economy," said Nigel Protter, CEO of
BCSEA. "We are glad the government
has had the courage and wisdom to en-
sure that BC will continue to be an elec-
tric vehicles leader."
The program had been scheduled to end,
despite proving popular. The decision to
continue means that people considering
the purchase of an electric vehicle can
qualify for up to $5,000 as a purchase or
vehicles qualify, as well as
announcement,"
ping away from its leadership role. The
revenge of the electric car will continue."
In addition to the vehicles incentives, the
$500 incentive for a home-based charg-
ing-post will also continue.
The BC Sustainable Energy Association
is a membership-based non-profit soci-
ety, which empowers British Columbians
to build a clean, renewable energy future.
