A total of 8,800 chargers are needed across the Glasgow region by 2026

Some Glasgow locations could be 'no go zones' for potential electric car chargers as there may not be enough power to cope in every area, a meeting has heard.

Reporting on feedback from Scottish Power Energy Networks Ms Joyce said: “Generally there is sufficient capacity in terms of overall power but there may be localised issues with particular areas.” How electric chargers will work going forward is being considered with options including them being under public control, privately operated or a mixture of both.

The Glasgow City Region covers Glasgow City, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, East Dunbartonshire and West Dunbartonshire.
