Dundee City Council is planning to add more support for electric-powered vehicles.
After buying more electric-powered cars and vans for the council fleet, the authority’s environment committee is being asked to approve charging points across the city.
Transport Scotland is providing almost £90,000 for a ‘rapid’ charger in the city centre underground car park and eight ‘fast’ chargers at other council locations.
It is thought more money will come next year for charging facilities at council sites.
Environment committee convener Bob Duncan said: ”This is another important step in our commitment to environmentally-friendly transport.
”We are monitoring the use of our current pool of vehicles very closely and we will have to report the use of the chargers to Transport Scotland on a regular basis.
”The charging points across the city would provide for a wide support network for the vehicles allowing more efficient use.”
The council ultimately wants every central car park to have recharging bays for carbon-free vehicles, and to encourage people to switch from petrol and diesel cars to electric-powered vehicles
Last month it approved spending of almost £140,000 on four electric cars and two vans to add to the council fleet.
