With soaring oil prices and uncertainty surrounding the supply of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) a proposal is being made for the use of more electric cars in Jamaica.
An electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one electric motor or more, using electrical energy stored in batteries or another storage device.
Kimroy Bailey, Junior Renewable Energy Consultant, argued that the storage of energy will always be an issue in Jamaica, so the time has come to consider other alternatives.
He is proposing more use of electric cars because of falling prices, and changing work pattern of motorists.
