Electric cars in CY would be mostly charged from EAC sources and the overall carbon emissions will be higher from the power stations than those of the bangers they replace.

That's a good point. One of those funny little cars would be ideal as an electric car. I mean those ones that are about half the length of an ordinary car.

... with a bulky, heavy battery which needs space. My hybrid is a 5-seat standard size but the luggage space is restricted because of the battery, which is small compared with an all-electric.

The MINI electric is a small car with large battery (230 km range) which one can also charge at home overnight, best if you have a PV-netmetering system though...

All Electric vehicles
Wait until they need new batteries!, then you may understand they are at the moment not really feasible unless Bi-fueled type, see Top Gear on these cars.
A future car maybe, but as far as I am aware there are no charge points on the road for all electric vehicles on Cyprus.

From the article:
What does that mean? Do you gauge battery capacity in cc now?The electric car needs to have a capacity of less than 1,800 cc.
Re: New and electric car-buying incentives available from February 4
I think it refers to hybrid vehicles that have a petrol engine also

I've seen a couple of charging points in the large car park near the Limassol seafront.
