Rejected petition Increase the grant for full electric vehicles

The future of transport is electric. Because they produce less pollution, cause less health problems in cities and can be powered by free renewable energy the government provide grants to buy them. However rather shortsightedly the DfT and OLEV have announced a reduction in the amount of said grant.
