British motorists could receive up to 5,000 pounds (5,700 euros, 7,500 dollars) if they buy an electric car under government proposals unveiled Thursday.

The plan comes as part of a 250-million-pound scheme to make motoring greener, and ministers hope it will help Britain meet its target of slashing carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050.

Here in texas they were offering a 3000 dollar to those get a new car that own a car ten years or older. I think the money has been used up quite a while back. That's because older cars were shown to do 90% of the pollution verus newer car studies showed.
