Living in Highland Scotland it was a carefully considered step in getting a full EV to compliment the PHEV in our household. However I went ahead on the basis that I have a home charger and there was an extensive infrastructure of public charging points as shown on the Charge Place Scotland live map link shown here. It was all fine for a while but it seems that Charge Place Scotland have adopted a zero maintenance policy on their chargers so the number of available working ones is diminishing fast. A rough headcount of the number of faulty CCS points is about 50% and raising all the time. Unfortunately many of them are in the more remote places. Perhaps this is Covid related - lets hope so and the will get round to fixing them when we are allowed to travel again. But its not looking for longer journeys. Maybe this is policy to keep us at home?? If you were planning to do the North 500 inn EV anytime soon - think again.
