An agreement has been reached to boost the electric vehicle infrastructure across western Scotland, through the delivery of 24 new rapid charging stations.
Following a publicly-advertised procurement process, Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership (HiTrans) has agreed with ScottishPower to deliver the new rapid chargers as part of the INTERREG VA FASTER Project.
The contract will be delivered in support of the FASTER Project, which has received €6.4m in EU funding under the INTERREG VA programme. Match funding of £250,000 has also been provided by Transport Scotland.
