British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is considering giving drivers up to 6,000 pounds ($7,609.20) to swap their diesel and petrol cars for electric vehicles, under plans to relaunch the economy, The Telegraph reported on Sunday.

Johnson is said to be looking at July 6 as a potential date for an announcement on the new car scrappage scheme, which is designed to provide a shot in the arm for UK electric car manufacturing following the impact of coronavirus lockdown, the newspaper said.

This will work as well as Cash for Clunkers did in the US Great if you can afford to buy a new EV with the cash, not so much if you can only afford used cars Programs like this boost the cost of used cars as it makes the buyer's market bigger and parts rarer Hurting the poor

India will have to follow this car scrappage for protecting environment and automobile industry.

The chances of that not being vandalised are slim

I'd pass on that.

Can't they do wireless charging for cars too? I mean they can do it for phones ;)

Nice Omani flag 😁

If only there was a case study that we could read to maybe understand the unintended consequences of such program.

I won't be scrapping my $100k Porsche for £6000.

Cash for Clunkers round 2, rest in peace all the wonderful rare cars that will inevitably get ruined. I understand the EV transition point, but dont have to destroy them.

Love it...have an EV.

Send to Serbia. Bad pollution from these cars.

Car plate ,, Luis Suarez 9 champion league. Or it's just me 😂

How long does it take a complete charge
