From Transport Evolved.

It’s been just under two weeks since the last U.S. Presidential Election, an election which saw Donald Trump regain the White House, while Republicans regained control of the House and kept the Senate.

And, within a few days, the reality of what is being attempted by the incoming administration was made pretty clear – with news late last week that most tax incentives for renewable energy and cleaner transportation will be on the chopping block.

With that in mind, and following on from our video on Friday last week, here’s why we think – if you’ve been thinking about going electric – the time is most certainly now.
