Fiat seeks incentives from UK for motorists to buy electric vehicles

Key subsidy scrapped last year, and carmaker says growth in sales has tailed off in Britain

Fiat has called on the government to boost incentives for British motorists to buy electric vehicles, after warning that growth in UK sales of the vehicles has tailed off after a key subsidy was scrapped last year.

Writing in an open letter to the government, the car manufacturer said other countries around the world were providing more support for the transition to electric vehicles and argued more action was required in Britain.
