Alex Cheung, who lives in the city centre, says while it's good to see the number of electric car owners rising, a shortage of charging points in the city centre is"frustrating" for owners.
There are currently 334 across the city, with 129 within the council ward that covers the city centre.However, Alex, who is chairperson for Blythswood and Broomielaw Community Council, says despite this, the infrastructure has not kept up with the number of electric vehicles and he believes there needs to be more fast chargers in particular installed.
He also says there have been occasions where reported problems have not been fixed for"a number of weeks" after the issue has been logged. "We work closely with Charge Point Scotland on the operation of the network, but it must be stressed that faults should always be reported directly to Charge Point Scotland as not all charging units on that network are owned by the council.
It still cheaper to run petrol or diesel .... Until charging costs reduce and battery capacity increases its not going to rise very much. And if it did in a short timeframe there would be dead cars everywhere as there nowhere near enough chargers
