Falkirk Council set to hike prices for charging electric vehicles as costs outstrip income

Falkirk Council is set to hike prices at its electric vehicle charging points as increasing energy prices mean the money they bring in falls short of their cost to the council.

A report to the council's executive next week reveals that in 2021/22 the council spent £62,348 on electricity supply for public charging points, and received an income of £56,727.

By December 22, the figures show that the Council has spent £70,673 on electricity supply and received an income of just £38,231, meaning this year it will recover just over half the costs.
