Councillor Helen Loughran, convener of the environment and climate change committee, said: “Since July 2021, we have seen a rapidly rising number of drivers using the network of electric vehicle charging points in North Lanarkshire which indicates more people are choosing electric vehicles. “This is a positive development, which will help reduce carbon emissions and contribute to the council’s target of net zero by 2030.
“However, the cost to the council of the energy being used cannot be sustained so the energy and running costs will be recovered via the tariffs.” The number of drivers using electric vehicle charging points in North Lanarkshire has increased from 253 in July 2021 to 4,099 in September 2022.
