Welcome
A well known motoring journalist almost got stranded yesterday when he visited a OLEV funded B&B in a BMW i3 and couldn't plug in Luckily we had a ZeroNet location within range and managed to help but that could have been a PR disaster IMO.
As discussed on twitter and FB please make sure any publicly accessible Charging Stations in Orkney have Type 2 sockets. I really want to see EV touring in Scotland but for that we need compatible charging hardware

Sounds like a shrewd move. In the last week, I've just done the Outer Hebrides and currently in Islay (Inner Hebrides) and from what I've learned from the council, they are very keen to see a move towards renewable energy and are showing the way with their own charger network (Lewis, Harris, Benbecula and Barra). When you see a 30+ ton petrol tanker taking up 1/4 of the ferry space - you can see the fallacy? There is certainly a lot of renewable energy potential. Biggest player though is the ferry company (Caledonian MacBrayne) who are currently in the process of installing twin and tripple-head chargers at most of their ports! There is still much investment required to get EV traffic to the departure ports - but that will probably happen this year! Might try Orkney and Shetland - next year - see you then!
PS All the good weather is up north this easter!1 - 10 of 10 Posts
