Elon Musk: oil campaign against electric cars is like big tobacco lobbying | Environment | The Guardian

He rates himself as "greenish" in his personal life. He switches off lights when he leaves a room, and has installed solar panels on his home, but "it's not like I've got LED lights everywhere, and I'm not a vegetarian.
...The cars will eventually be powered by solar panels, he said, which should generate more power than is used by the cars recharging.

These statements are very interesting. I also believe that governments should implement stronger policies to support electric mobility, not merely with incentives for those who buy the environmentally friendly cars. For example, you should create programs that provide in a few years the establishment of a wide charging network for electric vehicles throughout the country. What do you think about this topic?
