Belfast City Council is to look at a new electric vehicle charging point strategy across the city, after an elected representative criticised the existing structure.
Alliance Councillor Michael Long said at the council’s recent meeting of its Strategic Policy and Resources Committee that a bad infrastructure for charging in the city would damage its commitments to phasing out fossil fuel burning vehicles and damage tourism.
He told the chamber: “As someone who has recently purchased an electric vehicle, I would have to say that the level of provision in the city is really very poor. And one of the issues I want to raise in particular is council provision of electric vehicle charging points for our facilities.
