In the case of the BMW i3, European legislation was introduced that made manufacturers accountable for the recyclability of their cars.

Something the article completely sidesteps when talking about metals versus composites :-)

Cost versus steel may well have been a factor as well.

Portugal's +1500 makes most sense in the context of Brazil's -2500.

I'd love to know if that's a longer term trend for Brazil or if their wealthy are spooked by something.
