Car manufacturers worldwide are preparing to produce millions of electric cars a year, but in Israel the government has not adapted the market to change and thus contributes to the continued air pollution.
The Ministry of Energy: The Ministry has worked to formulate standards for charging an electric vehicle, and the Electricity Authority is currently completing regulation
According to data compiled by Ofira Ayalon and Idan Liebes of the Samuel Neaman Institute, the cost of driving an electric vehicle is about sixth of that of a gasoline or diesel-powered vehicle. At the head of the recommendations formulated at the end of the discussion at the Technion’s Energy Forum, it was proposed to formulate a national plan for the assimilation of public and private electric transportation in Israel. Public transportation, especially urban, should be electric, clean and efficient. Integration with interurban transportation e.g. electric trains can even obviate the need for two vehicles per family. According to the recommendations, the plan should include quantitative targets, indicators of success and appropriate budgeting.
