ZEV Vehicles

Zero emission vehicles are those that operate emission-free locally, i.e. without producing any environmentally-damaging by-products. In many cities – for example London and Milan – special exemptions are already in place for ZEVs, either so that they can freely travel into and out of congestion-charging zones, or that they are exempt from any prevailing Eco-taxes. Indeed, in many countries, the purchase and maintenance of ZEVs is subsidised by the government. The mindset is a ZEV when running under battery power – as betokened by the green light on its tailfin – a small reminder that the driver is someone forward-thinking.
