Liverpool to have one of UK's biggest electric car charging networks after move to treble capacity

Liverpool is aiming to have one of the country's largest electric car charging networks as it moves to treble capacity across the city.

Liverpool City Council has appointed ubitricity, a wholly owned Shell subsidiary, to install a network of 300 on-street electric vehicle (EV) charge points – with the locations chosen by residents and businesses.
