I really wonder what the tax would be on these vehicles.

480KM to a charge? Send me a 26 seater and a PBR Pass

Doesn't matter what the tax will be. Dealers in Trinidad will still sell it at close to a million, just because they can.

Electric cars should be almost dog cheap in Trinidad because our duties and tariffs are based on engine size.

But I bet you that will not be the case if I try to bring in a Electric Benz or BMW, or a Toyota Prius.

the authorities don't encourage the use of solar or wind energy and you need a license from T&TEC to have solar panels or a wind turbine to power your house. There are alot of restrictions on generating your own power in T&T.

With a state owned company selling 99% of all the gasoline I can't see the Gov't encouraging electric cars. Only if they think they can make the money through T&TEC when you charge the car.

Who knows, your gas bill will go down but your electricity bill might skyrocket!!!!

as I understand it, a license is reqd ONLY if u connect to the grid (through yr house, of course).
If u install a completely separate distribution system in yr house, T&TEC has no beef with u.
.
I thinkl something was said by Minister Dookeran about 'feeding back into the grid' by these solar/wind powered systems & regulations being considered to enable this. Like in Europe, u can feed back to the grid & actually earn credits on yr power comsumption bill.
U know the usual...govt eh giving u $$$ for the credits....only rebates on the next bill.
.
A good downline, though, esp with the tax incentives, etc to encourage 'green' power.

Right now, solar and wind energy's efficiency vs investment is not financially viable. The goverment needs to offer incentives until it becomes cost effective.

I'd so buy a Tesla.

I saw a T&Tec tender on the paper last week for some grid inter connect solar systems.... (roll back meters i think)

The Toyota Prius is not 100% electric and still has a gas engine in it. Also, there IS a prius in Trinidad... was told that it was in the region of $450,000 on the road.
