first Drive of green Queen Sofia of Spain is signal of beginning for 1 million electric cars

This song from telantive singer from my country titled "My love in Barcelona" make me to consider observing electric cars in Spain. The country having high awareness of green world for saving world will be proved.

Queen Sofia of Spain was snapped testing out her shiny new motor while on holiday this week. And though the white car didn't look like anything flashy, it was among the first in a new generation of new eco cars.

The Pergeot Ion vehicle is a 100 per cent electric, zero-emission car which has a battery life of 80 miles per charge. It won't be going on the market till December, but a prototype was sent to the Spanish royal – who will be trying it out for the next month - directly from Japan.

She was seen test-driving the model close to the Marivent Palace in Mallorca, where the Spanish Royal Family are spending their summer break.

She called the vehicle "phenomenal" and was said to have accepted Peugeot's offer as a show of support for electric cars, which do not contaminate the environment.

What she like about elctric cars giving signal to socialize electric cars to be at all enjoyable and safe streed all over the country.

Once again boosting their reputation as a country intent on helping the environment, Spain has announced that they intend to put 1 million electric cars on their roads by 2014. This will be part of the Zapatero government’s plan to reduce their use of energy and increase the countries overall energy efficiency.

Spain’s minister of industry, business and tourism Miguel Sebastian said Tuesday that the plan should gain approval from Spain’s Council of Ministers on Friday, and should then be carried out this year and on through to 2011.

“Electric vehicles are the future and the driver of the industrial revolution,” Sebastian said in testimony to a congressional panel. “Every time we ease off the accelerator, we boost national income and employment.”

The plan will cost some 245 million euros, and is made up of a total of 31 separate measures. In enacting this plan though, Spain is set to save between 5.8 and 6.4 million tons of oil over the three-year period, this according to industry estimates.

According to Sebastian, Spain has been trying for awhile to cut oil imports. Over the past year alone, Sebastian noted that the country had spent 17 billion euros on oil imports.
