Electric car charging points rolled out in Haverfordwest (From Western Telegraph)

• "I understand that about 2200 electric cars have been sold in the UK since 2006 and 2500 charging points have been installed. The Government give a £5,000 grant towards the purchase of an electric car but you still have to find another £25,000 which has put most people off buying one. I suppose the more that are sold the cheaper they'll become but take up at present remains slow and the very expensive batteries have to be changed every 5 years or so. I think the average cost of a new diesel/petrol car may be less than the cost of the replacement batteries in an electric car!
  Assuming an even spread across the UK population, there could be about 4 or 5 electric cars in Pembrokeshire."
