Local MSP and Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Transport and Climate Change, Alison McInnes has called for a national battery charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
Speaking after a Parliamentary Debate on the issue, Alison McInnes said:
"The Government need to prepare the ground for the next generation of vehicles. Electric vehicles will only move out of science fiction when the infrastructure is in place to support them.
"Liberal Democrats want to see a comprehensive battery charging network across the country. We can usher in the era of personal green vehicles by taking this step to encourage uptake.
"The network would be a central part of the green sustainable economy of the future."
