One million EVs: The Philippines, or more precisely the Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP), aims at having 1 million electric vehicles on the roads by 2020.

Form should follow function: A recent survey ordered by Autoscout24 found that 59% of Europeans would not mind if the design of future cars was directed by reasons ecologically beneficial.

Austrians consider EV: In another survey three out of four Austrian male drivers said that they would consider buying an electric car in the next five years. Among female drivers every fourth was interested. When the participants in total denial were asked for their reasons to do so, initial costs of purchase and lack of charging infrastructure were named as the main obstacles. No surprise: The younger and the wealthier, the higher is the willingness to adopt electric vehicles.
