We want to make people do the right thing, but for many the numbers are still tiny. It is still only a small fraction of the figure of 2.7 million vehicles I know that it is moving in the right direction, but are there additional incentives for those who will only buy second-hand models? They will never be able to afford to pay €20,000 or €22,000 for a new car, even with a grant of €5,000. Even that figure is at the lower end, never mind the higher end cost of an electric vehicle.
