Jordan may soon join the list of countries that heavily promote electric cars. Located between Israel and Saudi Arabia, Jordan isn't generally thought of in connection with electric cars, but its government hopes to change that with a combination of incentives and infrastructure buildup. The country will waive import tariffs in electric cars--which would normally double their price--and spend $120 million to install a network of solar-powered charging stations, according to a recent Navigant Research blog post. The plan is for 3,000 charging stations to blanket the country, with the first 11 already set to be installed in the capital of Amman. The first stations will likely be located at shopping malls, tourist destinations and public parking lots, but to build a truly comprehensive network additional stations will have to be installed in lower-traffic areas as well eventually. http://bit.ly/1BZYuPX http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
