DemoEV stands for “Demonstrating the feasibility of electric vehicles towards climate change mitigation”. As the name itself implies, the main goal of this project is to introduce and promote the use of electric vehicles in the Maltese Islands by demonstrating the feasibility of full electric vehicles as well as to provide one solution towards meeting the 2020 climate change targets.
These objectives will be achieved by implementing a pilot project running from September 2011 to December 2014. 24 full electric vehicles of different sizes and segments will be distributed among volunteers ranging from private households, commercial delivery companies and government entities.
The uniqueness of this pilot project lies in the fact that the vehicles will be driven by private citizens and companies for a period of three months each, for free.
