The organisation says it has one of the “most comprehensive” electric vehicle charging networks in Europe. The average distance between any given location to the nearest public charging point is 2.78 miles in Scotland – compared to 3.77 miles in England maintains the body.

It was announced earlier this year 800 more public charging points are planned through the Switched on Towns and Cities Challenge Fund and the Local Authority Installation Programme in Scotland.

Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity, Michael Matheson made the announcement as he visited East Ayrshire Council’s first fully electric car park in Kilmarnock. The Council has received more than GBP0.5m (US$0.6m) in 2018/19 from the Scottish Government to support the project and others.
