"Another big push towards electric vehicles is being made in the UK government's latest strategy to make the great shift to a virtually zero-carbon economy.
Ministers are investing £620m in grants for electric vehicles and street charging points.
Car makers will be mandated to sell a proportion of clean vehicles each year.
An extra £350m is promised to help the automotive supply chain move to electric."
