Electric Charge Points Across Scotland
One of the worries people have when the time comes to upgrade to an electric car is the amount of public charge points around.
Whilst they are statistically more likely to be located in busy town or city environments, there are still plenty around, particularly in supermarket car parks and in service stations up and down the country.
