Government programs of European countries provide incentives to boost sales of electric cars, not to show meaningful results. Inferred even fail. Reported by JATO Dynamics from Europe and published earlier this week.
Although the European car manufacturers aggressively promote electric cars, the fact, sales of electric cars in the first semester (S1) 2011 only 5222 units. Compared with selling the same period last year, there was a 10-fold increase sales. At the same peridode 2010, sales of electric cars pda 15 Eropada Union countries, only 507 units.

Electric cars most sold in S1 2011 is Germany, a total of 1.020 units. Semntara subsidies granted by the government only 380 euros. Compare with Denmark that provides the highest tax incentives, 20 588 euros, can only sell 283 units. While Spain with 6500 euro subsidy, 122 units and 599 units of Britain 6400 euro.
"Offering incentives were low influence on the decision of Consumers buy an electric car," explained Gareth Hession, vice president of research JATO. He added that a more influential factor is the urban geography, market maturity and battery charging infrastructure.
Local factors, including willingness to use bus lanes and free parking in downtown Oslo and the density of financing and exemption from London, nor influence.
Concluded, the market is ripe (mature), making subsidies no longer appeal. Infrastructure such as battery charging station even be a consideration.
