A supermarket in Bellshill has retroactively applied for planning permission for electric vehicle charging stations.
Tesco has applied to NLC to approve the facilities, consisting of a fast charger unit and a media charging unit and associated signage at its superstore in North Road.
A statement on Tesco's website reads: "Tesco, in partnership with Volkswagen and Pod Point, is installing free charging points at 600 supermarkets around the UK as part of its commitment to improving electric car charging infrastructure.
"The partnership has now provided its 500,000th free top-up - and during this period three million kWh of free, carbon neutral electricity has been given out.
"Based on the average new petrol or diesel car sold in the UK, the scheme has reduced carbon emissions by approximately 2,120 tonnes - the same as more than 2,770 acres of forest will manage in a year."
Various neighbouring properties have been notified of the installation and further information on the planning application can be found on NLC's website under the reference 22/00594/FUL .
