Integrity Manufacturing ltd. is meeting in California today alongside ZAP, the leading electric car manufacturers. This came very quickly after Kentucky offered over $68 million worth of incentives for this type of scheme.
The incentive has been ‘booed’ by many people because of the use of some tax-payers money. They see it as an unfair use of their money, when it could be contributing to bring down the already sky-high gas prices or poured into healthcare scams.
The plans mean that it is likely to build one or more factories to house the equipment needed to build these cars, before they even start building them. They will take some of the workload from China who is currently the main manufacturer of electric cars across the whole world.
Not being a resident of Kentucky, I don’t know what the current situation is, and why people are so quick to disapprove of this incentive. It seems to me like this is very good news, and a massive step in the right direction to getting electric cars used by most if not all members of the general public. Just think, even if you have a Hybrid, and not a fully electric vehicle, if less people use gas the price is likely to fall.
The plans have been welcomed by many residents, but the opposing side wishes to appeal against the decision, although I personally cannot see why.

I think it is a win win: this will encourage something that is good for the environment and for people’s pocket books. Setting up this facility is going to benefit people by creating jobs and giving local economy a fillip; what’s not to like?
