Formentera aims to go fuel free

The Balearic island of Formentera has taken delivery of six electric cars as part of an ambitious plan to be the first island in Europe to banish traditional cars from its shores.

The six e-Mehari cars were donated by Citroën as part of a pilot scheme for transport on the island to be all-electric, although no target date has been set.

Officials say that 200 businesses associated with tourism have already shown an interest in installing charging points against tax breaks.
