UK considers incentives for electric cars to sell power back to grid
Ministers mull credits for 'vehicle-to-grid' technology, but campaigners warn it could allow more petrol car sales

However, campaign groups have warned the credits could have the perverse effect of permitting more sales of polluting petrol cars in the near term.
