A project to install electric vehicle charging points in the Scarborough Borough is said to be one of the biggest deployment's in the North of England.
Scarborough Borough Council's Climate Change Programme Manager - Harry Barros - told councillors its one of a number of green transport initiatives in the borough.
the council entered into an agreement earlier this year with Connected Kerb Ltd for the supply, installation, and ongoing operation and maintenance services of 48 active electric vehicle charge points.
The EV-charging points will be located across 18 council car parks with 27 charge points in Scarborough, 12 in Whitby, three in Filey, and two each in Robin Hood’s Bay, Staithes and Runswick Bay.
The charge points will be a mixture of 7kW and 22kW to provide flexibility in terms of capacity and therefore speed of charging.
The council says efforts to improve the Scarborough Borough's green credentials will continue this year.
Harry Baross says that the Borough Council is working on a number of schemes as part of it's climate change policy.
