The council has sent out communications to staff about the problem taking place at a number of council charging locations. Health and social care workers travelling to elderly people and vulnerable residents are among council staff who use electric vehicles to carry our their jobs. In a reply to Labour councillor Jassemi, the council said: “The Electric Vehicles Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) is fit for purpose for the current level of electric vehicles deployed within the council. The question from councillor Jassemi and the answer from the council was presented at yesterday’s operational performance and delivery scrutiny committee. According to a report presented previously to the committee the council hopes to install more chargers at council depots and tap into external funding to make it happen.
