A government scheme to promote eco cars has gained a mixed reaction from Kent shoppers.

Medway drivers feared so-called 'green' cars would take too long to charge.

They were speaking after Whitehall today announced a £250 mllion scheme to encourage motorists to use electrically-powered cars.

Drivers will be offered subsidies of up to £5,000 when buying a new car, provided it runs mainly on electric power.

Is this enough to get more of these cars on the road?

Reporter Nick Poskitt went to Medway to find out.
